  • Going on the Tuesday and Wednesday for the first time with my brothers. They have been before, but I haven’t made it over yet with the joys of marriage and kids. Can’t wait for the Tuesday roar and happy to gab a pint with fellow FJ members if the opportunity came up. This forum has kept me sane the past couple of years and I certainly owe a few of you pints.

          At least you only did this today and not during the festival. Nice bit of pre-fez training for you

                • Interesting to note, stag horn a 103 rated flat horse (108 peak) having contested group 3 and listed level races as Well as competing at royal ascot, he earned ?55,075 in 13 races compared with ?32,560 he has earned in 2 national hunt races. Would like to see more 100+rated flat horses that don't have stud potential make this sort of transition.

                    He's got a massive chance in the AB for me. Hopefully get more flat stayers being schooled over hurdles and if they take to it, the staying novice hurdles in this country don't typically need much winning and they can earn some decent money.

                    • Stag horn jumped really nicely yesterday, looks a very good recruit from the flat.

                        Can't remember who put this up initially, but what a shout this is. There can't be many of us not on, lets hope he's not sold in the window

                          Chesterfield won't sell him, they've got a bit more cash than previous years and with their best opportunity to return since dropping out of the EFL I doubt they would sell him unless a silly offer came in from a club in the top 2 divisions.

                            I'm not, i'm so cynical after years of watching non-league football that I talked myself out of it based on similar signings at my own club Well done to those who are, even if he left now any e/w money looks safe. Getting into the FL as post above suggests is absolutely everything to an ex-member like Chesterfield and the costs of trying to get out of non-league are astronomical vs income, so he's going nowhere unless it's something daft. They have him on a 3 year contract too so no worries about being desperate to get something for him..

                                Do you watch any non league team in particular or just watch any old game? I've followed Barrow for the last 25 years+ and a result I've been to quite a lot of lower league grounds.
