Racing is for toffs like us. Do you really want a channel that council house, benefit **s can watch? I certainly don't. £20 for 20 days is priced perfectly just above the chav's media budget. ;)

One channel would eventually drop cards, you would end up with three or four live cards a day with adverts,the rest would be shown as recordings later in the day.

Yup
I ain't home most days but record it and make notes every night... invaluable. It's all relevent I spoze but if you punt I consider 80p ish per day to be ok. Why anyone should think it should be cheaper is beyond me. I hear all those saying it was cheper before but look what happened to that lot at Sultana ;) OK value in my eyes and whoever they put on the bright sparks on here would slaughter so that argument is dead imo Don't like it... don't buy it...simples...IT IS NOT YOUR RIGHT TO HAVE IT FREE ;) |

By:
To me it's like people complaining that they can't buy their food in M&S like I do. Tory Govt coming so nothing wrong with a Tory TV Channel like RUK.
If you don't fancy £20 a month go and live in North Korea ;) |

By:
Joker - the thing is it doesn't encourage people to racing and keeps it very insular, it's not a question of if somebody who gambles regularly thinks it's good value but if somebody new to racing thinks it is imo. If you were looking to choose pay tv (as many are atm) and you were moderately interested in racing would you consider £20 value?
|

By:
I have just payed the online one £10 a month to see what its like only took 1 month though.
|
|
By:
tenner a month on internet good value imo
|
|
By:
it,s agreat better than that awful atr allthough something should be done about the blank days, £20 no prob
|
|
By:
no spyker,look at Premiership football,its very popular regardless of the fact you have to watch it on tv.
|
|
By:
Pay2wtch it.
|
|
By:
Expensive compared to the setanta package but as a serious racing fan, or fan of serious facing, you can't afford to be without it (as opposed to a daily RP which costs more than twice as much).
My major complaint is their complete inability to return calls or deal with problems. |
|
By:
Can't believe there are so many people who seem to think £5 a week is expensive. What do bet in?
Pennies ? |
|
By:
yyiippeeeeee
I See ruk got racing on today |
|
By:
It still going then
|
|

Zab - prem football has a massive viewing public so could pretty much charge what they wanted but even if there was only 1 channel that showed all the matches would they charge much more than £20 a month? Racing simply doesn't have the viewing public to justify £20 to most casual observers and at that price won't attract (m)any newcomers - why didn't rfc try and get ruk to give this week free as part of the free racing week?.
|
|
By:
i wish they charged 20 a month to use betfair it would have saved me a fortune
|
|
By:
ruk should be means tested imo
lot of O.A.Ps could have it free plus those in other poor groups |
|
By:
Chemical, I would gladly pay £40 a month to have all the racing on RUK instead of half of it on ATR. This is because I am a full time punter and the coverage is much more professional and helpful on RUK, plus the pictures are a bit faster so if I want to adjust my position in running then RUK is also better for doing that. When somebody is playing for hundreds of pounds a race £20 is a drop in the ocean. I hope this answers your question.

SPYKER
A dedicated racing channel will NEVER entice a new audience mate ..it is too specialist to do so..FACT Mainstream TV is the only medium that will do that or getting people to the course and treating them properly. On course thieving bookies raping them at every turn will not help and piiiss stained toilets along with £4 a pint and £5 for a greasy burger will not either... How about attracting the earlt 20's and teens with special offers |
|
By:
nick luck is worth 20 quid all on his own imo
|
|
By:
Personally, for 66p per day I cant complain.
|
|
By:
Good those who say s £20 is nothing
ruk can charge double so others can watch it for free everyone s a winner |
|
By:
ruk have a lot of pundits with tipping lines.
|
|
By:
Give us a tip comrade H
|
|
By:
bk hng parliament imo.
|
|
By:
People who are too cheap to pay for RUK should be banned from starting the same boring threads every saturday about what sh*te C4 or BBC coverage is...we allknow it that is why we have RUK ... and to watch on the days when it is not covered by C4,BBC, or ATR.

Lampus,
THEY are chucking cash at the area of the Indian film Industry - all brokers been put on alert this morning. |
|
By:
thanks for that 4/7 tip, zeb
|
|
By:
4/7 ? twas 5-1 on here when i tipped ,now 7-2.
|
|
By:
Why cant they make more shows other than just showing endless repeats on blank days? Stable tours, profiles, behind the scenes, classic races/festivals etc, something, anything.
If you're a serious punter, 20 quid is fine for a few hours action every other day or whatever it averages out at, but for a racing fan, it's off-puttingly limited imo. |
|
By:
lol rider, you read the wrong post!
|
|
By:
Supposeit all depends on what you bet, £20 is probably my minimum bet soruk would be about 5% of my monthly betting bank, not a lot to watch your selections is it.
|
|
By:
so what is your tip zeb ?
|
|
By:
hope u made a few quid lampus.
|
|
By:

|
|
By:
