    If this need a removing so be it, it's a question from a friend.

    If you bought Steeplechase enclosure tickets for National day, reckon it'll be easy enough to sneak into Tattersalls? Not that I would promote such things, but I also don't promote paying 100 a ticket off touts.

    Left it too late to get tickets, I refuse to stand on a grass embankment with a terrible view. Only tickets left are from touts who want over 100 a pop.

    In their wisdom Sky TV have decided to schedule the Liverpool v Bournemouth match at 5.30pm on the day of the GN which is due off at 5.15pm leaving Merseyside police to deal with over 120,000 people on the roads, at the stations and at Aintree and Anfield. Utter stupidity.

    TV dictating times of events again.

    They've gained too much power.
    Ah! but a man's reach should exceed his grasp......

    To be honest, the football kicking off at 5.30 is probably better than 3.00. Sunday is the anniversary of Hillsborough so that's not considered an option.

    The police say they can handle it and I prefer to take their word for it rather than that of the mayor who is a somewhat attention seeking Everton supporter.
    The older I get the better I was.

    Seeyouatmidnight who had an entry at The Festival was taken out at the 5 day stage. Kelso is off tomorrow so he still needs to run in a chase to qualify for the National.

    Still not run, latest entry at Kelso today scuppered by the weather again.

    Definitly Red not going for the National now, going for the Bowl instead.
