Salisbury Rip Off.

why on earth anyone would pay £7 for a pint of watered down beer is beyond me...

that's a weeks food shopping in my house tbh.

It’s a sh. T hole and there up themselves only racecourse I’ve vowed never to go back to

good to hear jimnast...

hit them where it hurts...

they don't deserve your patronage if they can't make it a pleasant experience imv.

I've not bought a pint of beer for years. I managed to smuggle a few cans into the course but by the time I drank them they were warm. I didn't have that problem when I went to Fontwell just before Christmas.

do they not frisk you as you go in to the track these days ?

i mean someone could have an IED on them ffs.

£ 7   For Shopping

£1 per day...

easy.

Bean on toast?

Even in the Owners and Trainers the viewing is bad you have a much better view on TV.

just toast DG...

with jam or marmalade etc.

£7 hibb lol….

I can spend that in two days on fruit alone hibb….

you've got a big fat pension tho aceform...

i'm on a budget.

Surely you can buy fruit,you won’t get much nutrition from toast and jam…..what about meal time ?

I wouldn’t say my pension was overweight hibb but my cupboard and fridge are first on the list..

What About Hibernian FC came From a Country Mile Behind Great Result for The Men from The Leith San Siro Must be Proud of Them Happy

best they could do was 3rd tbh sevey so it's a well done...

still got a long way to go before i can call them 'good' tho tbh...

the defence needs blostering and they need another goalkeeper...

and they've got players out of contract and a few loan players they will probably lose in the summer...

so if they don't recruit well in the summer then next season could easily be tough imv.

oh i'm always on the scrounge for fruit aceform...

i know a few trees around the place where there are a few freebies from time to time...

and there are plenty of wild brambles come autumn time.

scots stereotype roundly bolstered here

fyi beer is never watered-down

Be like me join the ROA for 200 and odd quid................and go racing virtually for free for a whole year!!!!!........give the tracks sod all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think this forum does some good highlighting this sort of thing. Be a good idea to expand it and keep a running thread of tracks that take advantage and those that don't. Green and red lists. Might get some traction.

Wouldn’t fancy a bottle of watered down hibb….

Lot of berries up here in Perthshire tbh….

berries are good aceform...

you a Pink Lady fan ?

£1 a day on food

Whats your daily betting budget hibb?

10 Million UFS.

Yes pink lady is good hibb lol,the hibb is full of banter today…..

if you can't smile on a day like this when can you aceform ?

Yep, always smiling this end hibb….

surprised you're not at Hammy tonight aceform tbh...

Saint's and Sinner's ain't it ?

Unbearable noise hibb…plus late home….

you're not working in the morning tho are you ?

where's your get up and go man ?

It's got up and gone.

Free entry yesterday at Salisbury for RTV subscribers. Free bus to the track from the station.

The view from the top tier of the Tatts stand at Salisbury is amazing, but it does involve climbing a staircase, which is why the numbers accessing it dwindle year by year. Only a dozen bothered for each race yesterday. Climbing stairs has become mission impossible for most of the population these days.

Was reading away there until jekyll and Hyde started rambling

I own shares in syndicates - do I qualify for the scheme?

Yes, all ROA Members who invest in racehorse ownership qualify for the Racecourse Badge Scheme for Owners

So worth joining one of these syndicate groups, if you go racing 20-30 times a year, and get an ROA membership.

Why go racing when you can watch it in the comfort of your own house, decent glass of wine,  some nice food and if you start feeling guilty that you should be outside enjoying the sunshine there's nothing to stop you doing a 'Captain Tom' and doing a quick lap of the garden in between races .

Failing that as most of you on here are old codgers an afternoon nap in-between races might suit you better

For all I dislike the place I do agree with screaming about the view from the top tier of tatts it really is amazing

Over 20 years since I've been jimmast so looks like I might ha e to go just to see !
Greatest bit of aftertiming on the forum ever - I backed a winner there at 20s and the whole racecourse fell silent except for a friend and myself cheering it home, so my lasting memory of the course is somewhat biased,  so it could have been the most awful place but picking up a wad of readies off the bookies makes anywhere seem great.
