wasn't it Bangor morning, Warwick NH evening, cup final day?
|
|
By:
yes , bangor started at 11.00 a.m, don't know about warwick , but used to go to the hereford conservative club to watch the first 75 minutes of the cup final before dashing to the course.
always a good crowd from wales there |
|
By:
I used to go there to watch the Grand National. On the big screen.
|
|
By:
Our old allocated pitch in the silver ring was on the bank, facing the track, while the main line was facing away from the track in front of the little stand. I've never been when there's been any people there tbh.

I went August 1966 or 67, Red Dove won that day.
|
|
By:
I was always worried that the horses would slip on the camber going round the parade ring.
|
|
By:
No big screen but I watched Last Suspect win the Grand National there ridden by Hywel Davies in 1985.

adge wil we retire from bookmaking or will it retire us?ive hardly been out for weeks(never intended to this winter, have to pick and chose) but ill go to plumpers tomorrow and folkestone wed on the premise sometimes week before crimbo can be workable.i looked at that card at cheltenham yesterday ,overall about 3 4 races you wouldnt want to bet on ad the crowd haviing to pay thru the nose to see 2 or 3 long odds on chances potter round.
|
|
By:
i would leave out plumpton as well. card not worth going for.
it does make us all think before leaving the house . i'm not able to go on holiday this winter but i will still only attend a maximum of six days from now to cheltenham week in march |
|
By:
I thought bookmakers were supposed to be in the West Indies for winter.Oh sorry,I forgot,that was in the good old days.Bronzed faces in the ring come the start of the flat.

i would be unbiased but my mother [ aged 91 ] needs constant care now and i can't put her in a home and swan off.
plenty of others will be , though |
|
By:
good to hear adge,91 is a grand age and has to be respected.
|
|
By:
and we all do whatever we can for our mothers whilst we have them
|

By:
adge , 2 xmas parties/piss ups for you this week . Most welcome at both.tomorrow from 1 o'clock at the Balby Park Social and on wednesday a break away party round York meeting at Brigante's from 1 o clock.
|
|
By:

|
By:

|
|
By:

|
|
By:

|
By:
Steady on adge - everything in moderation. Hope you have a good Christmas - and your mother also.
|
|
By:
Have you played on SPOTY market adge ?
|
|
By:

i've got carers coming in four times a day , mafia , but i do have to be back to provide the evening cooked meal. train to/from york takes 19 minutes |
|
By:

By:
Have you got jocky a loser ???
 |
|
By:
too many books at carlisle today thats for sure !!!! spot the punter
 seems like a decent book for a change alan lol g/l |
|
By:
might help towards your losses on bradford adge
|
|
By:
d-told you that place is a waste of time.The only decent meeting they have on the jumps is the Easter Saturday one otherwise unless you are betting in the first two or three it's useless & there isn't a decent pitch on the rails.
|
|
By:
desperate stuff today t mate bet one on the rails and was useless !!! wish the point had been one ....mind why was it called off very early postponement methinks x

The ground down the far end(towards the railway line)was still waterlogged.Chris Dennis(inspector of the course)said on Thursday it was unraceable in that area,they could have moved onto slightly better ground but it also would have been unraceable after a couple of races.Sensible decision by all concerned to call it off. |
|
By:
The drinks are on adge everyone !!!!
|
|
By:
yes , the harder i work at it the luckier i seem to get.
the interesting stat is that andy murray did nothing whatever to attrect votes and got third, so the public will vote for him. jess may have lost only narrowly because sue barker couldn't keep it quiet that she gets married in the new year . get the market up for 2013 |
|
By:
check that he won by a landslide 120k votes with murray another 140k behind jess

sickoflayingwinners hope you dont expect to be busy at folkestone on wednesday
 |
|
By:
Sorry to jump on the thread but I wonder if adge or jimnast could advise me.
Wincanton silver ring only open boxing day and Kempton silver ring only open 26th & 27th. Is it the full 5x marketing fee for both on top of your badge fee and if so will Kempton be 5x £15 or 5x £10. |
|
By:
Are you interested in Butts pick 1 adge ? Probably not since you would have to get there on time !
|
|
By:
hello unders and overs hope your well and doing better than your football team.
re kempton silver i was told it would be twice the entry for your marketing fee,so therefor i should think wincanton would be just once,really though the agt should be posting these things on there site to avoid any uncertainty. |
