Who's Attending Where?

Sounds like good news for any Northern Irish FJ members wanting to get to the jumps meeting at end of October.

already on it, my parents are booked for looking after the kids, will be there on the Saturday, possible the Friday as well. All depends if Coningbeg is going to run at Stratford on the 26th Oct then I hope to be there, so will give the Friday a miss then.

I drove past Down Royal racecourse the other day, can’t wait to attend.

Love this time of the year with the NFL starting again and the jumps season just around the corner. (what a cracking game last night was, very impressed with Dak and the Cowboys, they should walk their division, rambling on wrong thread here - sorry)

Haha, you rambling is not a shock now

Is it Thursday 28th? https://stratfordracecourse.net/fixture-list/

I thought he'd said 24th and then 26th ... but can only see 28th

when I start I don’t shut up..

Definitely said 26th, but I only see Thursday 28th and it was a Thursday last year.

I see Happygolucky started off here last year in a beginners Chase, hopefully Connie can be the star this year from the meeting.

I think we should start backing him for the ‘Doing A Naiad’ thread now Attaglance!

On the subject of the thread, the first meeting at HQ is mid-October. Who’s going?

If she makes the mares novice hurdle, it would be dreamland, I am happy to see her run at a few meetings and anything else is a bonus.

I am sure you will pick another cracker out this year again for the ‘Doing A Naiad’. Happygolucky was very unlucky last year.

I am going to be heading to the October meeting at Cheltenham. Over the course of the past year, I've managed to build up a fair stack of Rewards4Racing points, meaning I have more than enough to enjoy a day of hospitality in the National Hunt Room. It sounds good, but just wondering if anyone has done it before and whether they'd recommend it?

Going as well BigChaang with a couple of mates. First time we’ve been to the course, so was going to ask if anyone had any pointers - for the card and the course!

Never been there but remember the great John Francome saying 'If the world had a backside then Plumpton racecourse would be in the middle of it'. He was talking about it from a jockeys perspective though

Will certainly be there myself. Fully plan to attend every day this season

Hello lads, just new here.

Are you all regular racegoers (once a week or so) or just pick and choose a meeting every now and again ? The reason i ask is that a lot of my friends have either packed in going altogether or have limited themselves to just three or four meetings a year. One lad in particular (widowed) would go at least twice a week but now says he has been sickened off by the attitude of quite a few tracks who he says only seem interested in hospitality packages, music nights etc and the rest can just suck it up. And i read on another forum about another lad who was a regular who has packed in going due to astronomical food and drink prices and also the attitudes of some tracks. I would have thought that in this day and age, tracks would bend over backwards to keep their regulars but that doesnt seem to be the case.
