i don't think ATR like Matt,and reading through the lines,it sounds to me that Matt wont be hanging around ATR for much longer.
Show More
Jealousy i expect,he is better than most on there.
What's happening with ATR bruv?
I seem to be the only person who hasn't got a feckin clue.

Brother,apparently there will be massive changes on atr in the coming weeks,a massive makeover,
and sounds like Matt will be on his way out

Cheers squiggle, I hope the changes don't spell the end of USA and Aussie stuff.
If they get rid of Chapman, I dread to think what jokers they're going to bring in.
Matt Chapman Hey Rich....not sure yet what is happening. ATR changing studios and 'Get On' being ditched...........not sure how I will be involved although been told I will get shifts.....
That was in response to someone on Matt Facebook page ^^^

atr when matt chapman aint on is the most boring thing you could possibly watch
i agree king,No doubt they'll keep the likes of boring bob,dozey zoe,and muppettoft,oh and lets not forget fitzy,
Chapman isn't everyone's cup of tea, and I often disagree with what he has to say, but if ATR are planning a complete rebuild he's the one they should be planning it around, coz the rest of their 'talent' are complete non-entities.
It's good news if he does stay, he's the best presenter on any racing channel by feckin miles imo.
matt chapman is the only one who has any energy, people may disagree with him alot but that keeps people watching and talking about it.....i find him hilarious, they should never get rid of him
Hearts will run a campaign on hear and all will be sorted.....Matt will be saved....never underestimate the power of the phorum in these mastters. hth
Think the guy is great tv (Chapman) BIG mistake if atr get rid of the main man. 
ATR should definitely keep hold of chappers, after all if he's not on ATR he'll be looking for even more commentating gigs
He's the daddy make no mistake and only reason I watch it.
If they speed up the pics to RUK standard they can have Julian Clary presenting for all I care.
Matt is great for racing he brings is own style and enthusiasm,he is made for the Get On and will be missed if there is any truth in this story?
matt chapman is simply the star of the show..would be a huge loss for the channel if he were to leave
chappers is different gravy
should be on c4 with lord snooty
should be on c4 with lord snooty
like most of them he thinks he's more important than the racing.
I'm sure he has already used all the praise from mugs on here to get himself a new job.

The most devastating news since Limahl was kicked out of Kajagoogoo.
why get rid of 'Get On'....one of the better parts of their coverage

It's not bad, when they actually bother talking about racing.

If he agrees to stop commentating he's a must for ATR,never knew Limahl got kicked out...
GET ON-- Boring and stale, interview a trainer,interview a jockey, interview a bookie,read e-mails from a brainless crettin or two, 25 advert breaks job done.
Why don't they get a pro punter, form expert etc on to discuss racing instead of waffling on and on about issues not connected with the day's racing.
Chapman and one or two others are not being stretched the bosses of ATR are lazy and take the viewers for granted.
It's about time they spiced things up.
By the way Robert Cooper is past his sell by date.

In a nutshell!.
Takes them at least 20 minutes of Get On before they even get to talking about racing lately.
I hope the excellent Zoe Bird is retained. I win chunks following here well thought out, form based selections.
sack the lot apart from gary o'brien, and all bookie reps and gravy train members should be kicked into touch as well
i'll sign the save the bob on the condition that muppetoft gets 60000 volts

You're never going to please everyone but Matt clearly loves the sport and he's good at his job, the features/interviews with people like Henry Cecil, Bart ****s, Willie Mullins and Freddy Head are as good as anyone has ever done.
I will lead the crusade to save Sir Bob on condition that I get to throw the switch that gives Mapletwerp the 60,000 volts.
i will let you throw the switch if i can attach the leads to his scrotum

Muppettoft not very popular,is he?
How Zoe is still employed by ATR i'll never know,
a monkey would do a better job.

As someone mentioned earlier about them getting some fresh faces to analyse races or a pro-punter... The Royal Ascot previews on the site actually have pro-punter Andy Gibson, along with the Weaver, in their new look studio. Exciting times!!!!!
In all fairness I would give Mapletwaddle one last chance to redeem himself before throwing the switch. If he can pick the Tricast in the Wokingham he can walk free.
Harvey,Bird,Cooper,fitzy,Pitman,Kelly,Thommo,Bryce,Mapletoft,Catt,Perham,Wil... should be gone.Duggan and Broon have.Shame Broon has appeared elsewhere.
Perham should be made the new daddy , his style exudes class and brings excitement to my living room.
Perham and williams,a cure for insomnia if ever there was.
i didn't know Gordan had gone,Where's he seen now a days triple?
oh dear
What did the paying subscribers do to deserve that?
Muppettoft to follow in due course..

Muppet lives on the all weather tracks.He is safe.
ive noticed Fitzy hasn't been on much of late?
Have they sacked him?

He's got a sore throat from all that growling he does.
He is probably doing the BBC coverage being a flat racing expert
The worst of them are those who are also on BBC or Channel 4. Thommo,Fitz,Cattermole and Pitman. I only hope they don't sign Carson.
Chapman is an awful commentator but as a presenter I honestly think he is different gravy.

I forgot Rishi,big miss.JACK OF ALL TRADES,MASTER OF NONE.
On the plus side, at least Matt will be available to do more race commentating.
Fitzy are Rishi currently getting their suits measured for Royal Ascot.Fashion a very important issue with the BBC.
Whole thing stinks of Chapman wanting a load of 'please don't go' type emails etc and is probably a whole lot of nothing. Very funny thread al the same

They have used "pro~punters" 
"TRACKSUIT DAVE" 
What happened to T`S`Dave ??
Too many of the Chapman fanboys infesting this thread, time for those of us who can't stand racings biggest ego to make a comeback.
I would imagine Chapman finds the whole ATR "offering" a total bore.
hope Matt doesn't go, as most on here have said, he brings genuine interest to his job, you can't say that about many of them.
Matt Chapman is excellent in "the booth" , awful race commentator , the whole ATR team make Rishi look like a combination of Clive Graham and Sir Julian Wilson.

Nothing to do with being a 'fanboy'. I can't stand the vast majority of the racing media, but Chapman is head and shoulders above anything else on ATR

Gonso if the guy dropped the ego and the know it all I'm always right even if I'm wrong attitude I might just agree with you, the guy is often arrogantly dismissive of people who dare take him to task.
Diabolical commentator but his interviews with Cecil, Freddie Head, Alain de Royer-Dupre were top class he makes the channel infairness. You take away strong personalities you just need robots that go with the flow.
Silvergreaser funny some might describe you the same

Don't worry chaps - I'm sure Joke Corals will give Matt more shifts in their booth. He was in there today giving it large commentating on the cherries and bigging up some truly criminal prices on tonight's footie - sadly it seems Matt is partial to having his nose deep in the trough along with the rest...
The fella is boring repetitive unorigional and a pain in the butt.yeeha
Like McCririck and Thompson, skin thicker than a rhino.
An absolute embarrassment to the game but why would he care what we all think? He has got the gig and is on the gravy train and that's all that matters in the greater scheme of things. The viewing public, such as we are don't really figure.
