They really dont care do they?
£20 a month for what?
To listen to these two nobs talk about Bagpuss and Gordon Honeymonster.
How on earth do they justify a score a month for this?
They dont even have live viewing everyday.
Every other day is 'Denman memories' or 'Brian Ellison, i fixed it my way'
Without a doubt the worst value subscription package on the telly.
Your subscribers deserve better RUK or at the least a price reduction
Just guessers tipping up the fav 10 seconds before the off and filling in with kids tv memory lane.
Its a joke, but its not funny anymore

Anybody who thinks that RUK is poor value is certifiable.
RUK is 1.0 second behind Turf Tv.
ATR,whilst free is 7.0 seconds behind live action.
You may not like the Presenters tonight (neither do I)but,the Channel is light years in front of ATR.

Agreed that it's the worst subscription channel out there, I just don't enjoy anything in between the action.

I keep moaning today, something needs to be done hear.

20 notes is mental. I get ATR as part of my sky package, and there's more racing than RUK.

A bargain for I/R home players imo. Would happily pay the same for ATR if they had the same minimal delay.

You haven't got much choice of you want all British tracks on your tv. I think they can do far better, surely the current crop of presenters/pundits aren't the best out there? more features would be brilliant.

If I could only have one I'd take ATR, there is the massive bonus of racing from USA and Australia and Chapmans interviews and features with people like Henry Cecil and Freddie Head are far better than anything RUK have ever put together.

RUK is very good value.  ATR should be paying us to watch their sh1te.

Just a couple of years ago, you got RUK as part of the Racing Post Membership for about £200 pa.

They then split up and RP membership is approx £230 pa, whilst RUK is £240 pa.

So between them they expect you to pay £430, more than double the price, and they wonder why membership has dropped ?

Watch it free on the internet, I say. The picture is no worse either.

the problem is nobody really likes bagpuss or gordon honeymonster,now if they talked about tails of the riverbank or bill and ben we wouldnt mind so much.

ATR is a bookmaker propaganda channel. They tell f****** lies to punters.

RUK is run for the presenters benefit. A private little club you are invited to listen in on for £20 a month

Makes me PMSL people moaning about paying 60p a day when they will s punk 50 times that on some mug bet,or more cancer sticks.

Any fan of horse racing has to have RUK. Sixty pence a day FFS

Most of the "upstarts" on here do not remember when you hardly saw a live race barring high days and holidays.
Now,in the "wannabee Culture" that exists,everybody wants something for nothing.

who needs presenters, pundits?

Show  a test card between races.

If you rely on tv pundits, you're in the wrong game.
By:

When: 24 Jan 13 19:35
Of course you 'have to have' RUK - If you take thew game seriously, and bet accordingly.

But if they just showed the racing - without the 'wibblywobblyway' WILLOUGHBY - and his 'nodding dog' Apprentice .....

I, for one, would manage JUST AS WELL - and be less irritated by the two arrogant, and insular, Tawts.

so why cant RUK just directly send us (or stream) the racetech pics and save themselves the cost of the presenters ?
By:
Brother Mouzone
When: 24 Jan 13 19:39
I agree percy.

The problem with a few on RUK is I'm helping pay for them and they are unwatchable, I'm an easy going geezer but I have to mute in between races, it's a ridic thing to have to do be doing.

difficult to believe anybody could complain about £20 for RUK--its all about live races the other bits you can take or leave,personally I think they all do a good job and actually sometimes on a dull evening the chit chat between pretty ordinary races at Kempton can be quite good

Yeh - its a waste of £20. Cancelled it once - then resubscribed for Cheltenham. last year. But I'm paying £20 a month for what ? Cancellation on the cards again.

I listened to this last week. It was inane,juvenile, puerile shlt. One pertinent reason why I will be cancelling

If you wish to miss quality Meetings,cancel.
After all,it is a free world.
I know where the mute button is and frequently use it to avoid the views of anybody I do not like or respect.

agree with one of the postings earlier - like in the old days we had virtual mo live racing possible on TV.
& I do quite like the non racing chit chat between the racing
who needs 24/7 racing talk anyway

I pay my 20 quid but given how little RUK  put in, i would prefer them just to show the races without any comment/presenters.  Maybe it would then only cost 10 quid per month.

Chapmans pieces with Cecil, Balding, Fallon etc and much more have been superb imo and for that alone ATR is better and ATR comes as part of an overall tv package.

100% spot on. I can see no reason they can't have consistent preview of each race involving form, speed figures, ratings, etc...

oh hold on.......its really C*ral TV in disguise Crazy

Only 1 flaw in that reasoning.

They would have to graft for their money so no chance of that happening.

Agreed like or loath ATR, at least they show some attempt and creating quality "Filler". The Kauto Star piece where he went back to the barn in France where he was born was good too and their website/ipad/iphone sites are galaxies clear.

I have 20 quid pack to watch RUK on laptop and need to extra 10 for the honour of wtaching it on ipad.....b*llocks imho
I am thinking of cancelling too

Anyone who thinks paying £20 a month is not good value for ruk is not a true racing fan,there is a reason it has all the best courses on board (ascot coming shortly) and atr is left with the dross,must admit quite like chapman ( should be on ruk) but blundering bob cooper reminds me of John Cleese, all you punters who don't want to spend your £20 a month on Ruk can spend it on the many insurance or life policies you are watching on atr,keep going Ruk your doing a grand job.
