Had a meeting with the track authorities, so they had. One of the yokes said his business is down by two thirds, and so is the value of the poxxy pitch he has.
Never mind the safety aspect of things, and the freedom it gives the ordinary people that go.
No, fukk them and let the others get pisssed , have fights everty second minute, but as long as we get their money off them, who cares.
What a horrid bunch of specimens they are, I thought they were low, but this is lower than I had even imagined they could stoop.

i think they realise the 1/5 and 1/6 the odds they offer look bigger after a few pints. !!!

It just goes to show what way they think and where their priorities lie.
Don't worry about the racecourse being wrecked, and the fact that they will be throwing tables and chairs and even glasses at each other by the end of the day, and again don't worry if they cause chaos in the town subsequently. As long as we get the money of the drunks, fukk everyone else. |

Mincer net thrown out
Plenty of Chester books at York as we speak So think you'll get plenty of replies 8pm !!! Are u aware of what has gone on since July ? Or don't let the truth get in the way of a good story I have 3 pitches in the course enclosure and due to the business being so poor since the changes am now only running 1 |

Nothing worse than someone who knows a little about something but not it all.I operate on the course at Chester and to be honest things have been getting out of hand for a while and people should have been limited to the amount of booze they should have been allowed to bring into the track and I can also say with confidence peoples behaviour will not strictly be all down to alcohol seeing first hand people snorting in the toilets. Another point is who says trouble supposedly in town afterwards stems from people on the course I have seen people coming out of both tats and hospitality areas blind drunk. I have talked to genuine people who go to Chester on the course and are gutted they can not go and take their own booze on because a few morons have spoiled it for everyone.From my own point of view up until this season I have not missed a meeting at Chester for 8 years always opting for Chester on a clashing meeting since the ban I have gone to the alternative and will be at York tomorrow

On course thieves I mean bookmakers deserve everything they get with their pathetic prices and each way terms I've been racing several times this year and do all my bets with favorite shops before hand there is no incentive anymore and the victims are the clueless who in all fairness are the drunken louts that the bookmakers are attracting due to their pathetic terms as the saying goes don't bite the hand that feeds you

from those on this thread there does seem a degree of desperation
course bookmakers in general doing particularly well this year with the increased attendances. at the same time the exchanges are struggling to gain new customers in this country despite all the free offers etc etc for new subscibers. at the same time many new foreign newbies being attracted , but that will be because their countries don't have on course bookmakers, clearly keep trying lads |

Bruno i can only assume that you never actually attend Chester course. The value on offer is top class and you can be on to good money with several layers. Re the opening post of course bookies want a sustainable safe environment for all moving forward, a primary issue they want addressing is the lack of access to the betting enclosure following the changes and it is this fact that perhaps should have been reported more prominently in the press, as opposed to the beer ban issue.

I think in your own words most of the boozers couldn't care less about the place terms
also the same would apply if there were no bookies there it would save the walk out of the bar to put their bets on. the excitement of scuttling about the betting ring looking for a price has long gone early morning prices, bog guaranteed money back on 2nd placed horses another perks for putting bets on via mobiles have relegated the bookies to a secondary sideshow how many on a bus load on a trip to the dogs go outside to put a bet on with the books most use the tote. when the present tote contract comes to an end how many more courses will go down the chesterbet riponbet route. changes linked to health and safety issues have effected loads of businesses just ask any pub landlord if he saw any bookies on the picket line with them when the no smoking laws were introduced. no axe to grind here just a realistic view that times change the bookies themselves started the rot when they started hedging into the exchanges. |

Yes, though I stopped going to Chester races about two years ago, I would say that the three biggest problems at the Roodee are
a) the racecourse itself ( too small and pokey) and its strange management b) society itself - these drunks ( none of them drink more than myself) are just part of a bigger problem. Check out Liverpool and Manchester nightlife; don't try saying that's all down to fkn bookmakers. 'Tis nothing to do with bookmakers. c) The Exchanges. These have ruined the game. Yes, a lot of bookies go along with them and that does leave us punters fkd. 'Tis not bookmaking per se that's at fault, but the problem is that the course is exchange and shop dominated. -  Btw, if ye really want to go on the p iss, Wrexham is a far better venue than Chester. |

UNFORTUNATELY BARRY WAS ONE OF THEM
,MR CRISP ALL THE PERKS AND BONUSES ON OFFER WITH THE ONLINE BLUFFERS ARE OK IF YOUR MAXIMUM BET IS A FIVER,RULE NUMBER 1 IS THOU SHALT NOT WIN,OTHERWISE YOU WILL BE CLOSED DOWN OR RESTRICTED TO PENCE,THE FACT IS(AT THE RACECOURSES I ATTEND)THE PUNTER HAS NEVER EVER EVER HAD BETTER VALUE WITH THE ONCOURSE BOOKMAKER,CHESTER TODAY BIGGER THAN THE MACHINE,COME RACING |

The racecourse have their priorities wrong rather than targeting the picnickers in the middle of the track ,surely they should be targeting the besuited morons in the county stand ,but I suppose if you've paid £42 for a ticket you can behave as badly as you like.........drinking should restricted to the bars only certainly not in the stands or near the paddock............and if you restricted the picnickers to four cans each problem solved...

Anything higher than a bookie's joint ( inc umbrella) should be flattened to allow better viewing. The way it is at present - ye can see nothing much from ground level - the folk in the infield should be paid for going there, IF they genuinely want to see the horses and the racing.-
All the rest - possibly the vast majority who just want a pi ss-up - should be accommodated off the race-cource out of the way, say at Pat Collins funfair or someplace. As for getting on bets, I used to bet only to a few hundred and was never refused on-course. However, I did get stopped by a certain north of England shop. They would only say " we know what you're doing". Further enquiries hit the old " data protection" baulk, where they regretted they were not at liberty to divulge certain information. That ban only lasted about a year and was specific to just two shops. Undoubtedly, the Exchanges and betting- shop head- offices control the so-called "market" between them, and, imo, this has been detrimental for punters and bookmakers alike ( on-course). Drink problems - too much or too little - have fk all to do with the bookmakers, who, imo, are far less inebriated or drugged than other big wheels in racing. |

A four pack limit and half a dozen security guards at a cost of £9 per hour would have solved a lot of issues certainly, combined with the security company on course for the last few years being woeful when asked for assistance of any kind. Interesting yesterday that picks 1 and 2 on the course didn't attend on a Saturday in August - that's quite an achievement on behalf of the track - probably as likely as holding next years Grand National at the roodee.
