Ban the Irish trainers from having runners at any Cheltenham meeting other than the hunter chase meeting in early May.

Let the Irish come but 10lb penalty for all runners... I love penaltys like Trump loves tariffs...

By:
no fields less than 16 runners

Re the above, if you ban the Irish then you'll struggle to get with 16 runners plus.

A bit strong having sniffer dogs looking for Charlie Mann, he's a bit eccentric but doesn't smell too bad imo.

It seems the Management at Cheltenham are working along the same lines as those at Chester, not worrying too much about crowd sizes more on the bottom profit line.
Less flat caps and more suits. |

Surprised that DG12 with all his prejudices/hangups didn't stipulate 'No black horses allowed to run'.
There were two over the four days this year, much to his chagrin no doubt. |

Reduce prices for admission and food and drink...a huge factor.

Agree with 5,11,and 12 however they are already struggling with crowds if 12 was brought in the crowd would be decimated.

the price of the corporate beating and drinking doesn't t really matter most people attending are there on a freebie, but like glasto etc,I read a few yrs ago that the vendor,s take the risak pay chelts so much to stand there for the week,lets say 100 grand and pricing is up to the vendor, but if chelt say drop that to 80 grand, if you sold enough fish and chips this yr at 25 quid,why would you drop your prices next yr ?, cant see how chelt can set the prices for private vendors once they've stuffed up the ground rent
of course someonew might no how it works differently |

D. G. more to be pitted then given out to the poor tormented soul..So much hatred ,couple with stupidity,he obviously hasn't ever been to Cheltenham if he thinks its only the Irish who piss in the street . I'd say Management would have a meltdown if any of his lunatic ramblings came to pass , in fact Cheltenham as we know it would cease to exist ...The great thing about hatred is there is a cure , maybe he should be sent home to look for the Loch Ness Monster...

They already have sniffer dogs - at least at the two main entrances. Saw a couple of lads being getting attention from the dogs although didn't wait around to see the outcome. Of course there's nothing to stop anyone taking what they like beforehand.
The main change this year was allowing drinks to be taken anywhere rather than having staff stopping you take drinks being taken out of the bars / guinness village. |

It was a lot easier to get around the Guinness village because of that go ballistic.
|

By:
That certainly helps jimnast, although tbf it's been v easy to get around the Guinness village in the last few years - mainly because there are not very many people there. It used to be a scrum to try and get served, now you walk straight up and have your choice of server. Low attendances are part of it, another part of it is a much larger proportion of people in the ever-increasing number of hospitality boxes.

Fix the weather: this week Tuesday 11 degrees then 16+ for three days. Last week miserable. The week before pleasant.
Arrest the guy with the Greville Starkey stun gun binoculars. They'll know him by his antepost vouchers on Golden Ace. Cater for a precise 1 to 1 relationship between the number of pints sunk in the bars and the volume of urine that needs to be excreted later on. |
