Haha they are woeful atm.
Tizzards usually start going well by April -
There's an article in today's Racing Post saying amongst other things that the number of Cheltenham Annual Members has reduced from around 8,000 to 3,600, so if crowds are allowed at the Festival, there are not quite the numbers hammering on the door for tickets that there were before.Comment

Brilliant news for current members who should all get in and quite a few general tickets on sale as well.Originally posted by Imperial Commander View PostComment

It was eerily empty there today. If it’s like that for the Festival it’ll be fantastic.Luck is a dividend of sweat. The more I sweat, the luckier I get.Comment

2000-4000 Members let in for the Festival would be magical, for a one-off.Originally posted by Spectre View Post"Journeys to Glory, breathing in his head".Comment

Wasn’t the case on Friday, 20-30 min wait for the entire day.Originally posted by Spectre View Post
That was in the new stand - and, unlike the usual spot in the Grandstand, I’ll have to remember there’s still a furlong to run from that viewpoint !Comment

Yes BC, totally shut off which just goes to show why the blanket 2000 limit is a nonsense, Cheltenham as we know can accommodate 70,000 people, allowing for distancing the course could easily hold 15,000-20,000...Originally posted by BigChaang View PostComment

It was great to be back on a racecourse FM, it felt odd having so few people around and of course Cheltenham is the track you associate with having crowds, atmosphere, hustle/bustle etc, I know one or two in here enjoy the reduced numbers but it did feel odd.Originally posted by Faugheen_Machine View Post
They opened one level of the grandstand and one level of the new stand, catering was impossible in the members bar in the new stand and there was only one outsourced catering van which had queues all day.
We ventured out to the seats at lev 3 in the grandstand and was promptly challenged by a jockey club official who said they were out of bounds, a slightly more offended member responded by reading out the e-mail sent by the racecourse saying members could use lev 3 seats.
It wasn't a day without its' issues but I'd rather have occasional confusion and jump through a few (unnecessary) hoops and be on a racecourse than be stuck at home watching...Comment

Maybe they can allocate Best Mate (at Tatts prices and with no catering) to those who can't be arsed having the jab or a test.
