Where is the article about this please?
By:

There isn't one. Racing Post Customer Services phoned me up and told me.

Ok,not had that call yet. If that is the case will be cancelling

Likewise, I think. There are a handful of reason to use the site and that is/was one of them.
The performance of the site is p1ss poor also, slow and unresponsive. Makes betfair looked like greased lightning.

Not commercailly viable to keep them on the site.

Ok,cheers. Have to ATR for their stuff and RUK for their stuff. Pain in the ass

It is very convenient to have it all on one site. I wonder if they realise how many subscribers will decide it is not commercially viable to pay the same amount of money for a service that has declined in usefulness?

I'll be cancelling too - I find the fact that everything is on the one site is the attractive thing about it - since the recent "upgrade" it has become even slower than previously  - pity if they lose the RUK replays ...... but nothing is forever

Knowing The RP probably not. Major poor decision on their behalf imo and a lot will be cancelling I would think

The bloke on the phone told me that since the maintenance work the site should have become faster than more efficient. I had to tell him that in my opinion it has not done so.
By:
Barton Bank
When: 07 Jul 15 13:29
And more efficient, not than.

Perhaps those that currently subscribe to RP could indicate on here if they intend on cancelling after this news.

I will be cancelling
By:
Barton Bank
When: 07 Jul 15 13:39
I may not cancel IF the speed and responsiveness of the site improves significantly in the next few weeks.
Therefore probably cancelling.

i changed to mozarilla firefox and its fine ... the big thing they could do with the database is to put a system builder in there would make a massive difference. That said i will begrudgingly stay with it.

It is better on firefox than elsewhere but there are still plenty of times when it freezes when you click a horses name or crashes whilst typing notes.

It wasn't that long ago that you could watch RUK online as part of your RP membership. When they took that away, they increased membership fees !

Expect the same.

Rang The RP,they confirmed that not only RUK replays will be gone by end of July,but ATR too. So basically as from August no race replay on RP site at all

They are going to lose A LOT of subscribers on the back of this.
By:

Agreed. I've already cancelled

Well at least I can look forward to a reduction in membership fees once they remove video replays...

To be serious - isn't this a breach of contract? I signed up to a service I'm seemingly not going to receive.....
By:

When: 07 Jul 15 16:09
Technically it probably is. They probably have some small print to protect themselves mind.
By:

When: 07 Jul 15 16:10
paris If you paid for the year in advance I would be very peed off
By:
parispike
When: 07 Jul 15 16:10
Which might fall foul of unfair contract legislation BB...
