It will be interesting to see what way the Irish numbers are. I'd say the executive will get a fright when they see how few Irish make the trip.
true closure, i was going to go with norn and the lads , but looking at the punchestown card staying home .
WORKRIDER POOR CARD ON FRIDAY I THINK BUT IIL STIL GO AN PROB SUN NEVER WON ON THE SAT YET BUT IF WIN FRI ILL TRY GO 3 DAYS
IM SURE KAVVIE WE GET U GUINESS OR LAGER OR IF U WIN U CAN BUY THE DRINK OF YOUR CHOICE
Poor card?
Looks a good novice hurdle but the novice chase that ends the card could be an outstanding contest.

An Siorrac is to be aimed at this new cross country series across europe, I heard that yesterday evening. Serious animal.
Lads any recommendations where to watch the match on Saturday night, first time in Cheltenham
I can only imagine the chaos (but mighty craic) in O'Neills.
O neills will be absolutely thronged. went there last yr on sat for Ireland New zealand rugby and it was crazy. my advice woulde be to leave track before the last if you have no financial interest and get in there asap
Id say Oneills will be madness for the game. Id say if you want to actually watch the game a quieter spot might be in order. Tailors just off the high street might not be a bad spot to watch a game
i wont go to oneills either..lots of better places to watch it..oneills will be full of people half cut
ah sure o'neills is great craic but you could only take so much of it.
will be there lads, looking forward to it
We were also wondering about spot to watch game

Flying from Cork on Thursday. Haven't missed one since Rooster Booster won the Greatwood. A great weekend, although this may be my last trip for a while:(
For anyone interested, just around the corner from Taylors ( I think I have the location right anyway - very near the Big Sleep?) there's a greasy spoon called Del Boy's. It's in a basement with only about 5/6 tables. Jesus, there's some feed in there for £6. I made a show of myself last year. It's very rough and ready but everything apart from the tomatoes is spot on.
O'Neills is second only to the now defunct Dawn Run in the "Biggest S*ithole in the Town" stakes.
The bar inside the door and to the right in the Queen's is a short head third.

where would you recommend CM? Is there anywhere in gloucester?
Tailors is a good option if you want a proper look at the game. Plenty of screens and certainly less mayhem than O'Neill's (it may be a sh*thole but it still is mighty craic if you have the energy for it and I find the bar staff a lot sounder than some of the peacocks in Tailors).
I've never been to Gloucester ATC, so I couldn't tell ya.
Tailors is probably your best bet. Plenty of taxi's pulling up outside the Queens, which is nearby, which is handy.
To be honest I never go too mad when I'm over so wouldn't have frequented the vast majority of the pubs (I'm getting old!). Staying out by the digs at the Golden Valley roundabout would suit me if it was on somewhere.
Sorting out the Greatwood would appeal more to me.

If you want nightlife, avoid Cheltenham. The place is a kip.
TGM please enlighten further, you cant make such a damning condemnation without providing a viable alternative....
cheers cluain, I am part of a 19 strong team of sub 30 males, so we will be hitting the town pretty hard....
Good man. Enjoy.
When you hit the 30 mark like I have you'll give up on all that nonsense :)

Realistically, a 19 strong crew of males under the age of 30 will have a great time anywhere but I'd rather have gone to the Aran islands for a weekend. For what it is worth, Cheltenham nightlife during racing is brutal. The pubs are all extremely busy and are, without exception, dumps. O'Neills and the Queens hotel are the two biggest shiitholes I have ever stood in. However, if you are into hotels that feature prostitutes in the lobby and middle aged men asleep in chairs, the Queens is your only job.
The 21 club attracts a more discerning clientele. It resembles a 1 bedroom basement flat that has been tarted up for a 21st. I can only imagine that the club was established in such a fashion, hence the name.Here, if you are lucky, you might see Howard Johnson scrapping. That said, this may be the only place in town where you will encounter a woman under the age of 30 who is not 'frustrated'.
Go and enjoy the racing but this is not Las Vegas, or even Galway.

tgm condems every thing and everybody.is there a more negative poster on here?i doubt it.cheltenham is a great town if you keep outside of the queens and oneills..i agree with him re the sleepers and prossies in the lobby..a sad sight really..ill watch the match in taylors for sure..
