"I love the atmosphere and might be going. It's always fun in town afterwards too.  "
The atmosphere is incredible, even just around Cheltenham itself let alone up at the race course. Might bump into you then!  town is fun after indeed |

Trouble with gold cup week is that it's not for people interested in racing anymore, it's taken over by the once a year t wearing wannabe socialites who spend more time posting pictures on Facebook than watching the racing. |

Living nearby
Pissed up cockwombles pissing (and even shitting) in the garden and on the doorstep, puking on the street.... nah I'm not a fan.
Trying to walk into town is impossible let alone walking back home.
Transport chaos, and trains fucked for work.
I hate the whole shit show |

I'd agree to this to a certain extent, but there is still an awful lot of people interested in the racing  |

Yes I agree with the puking/urinating etc down to alcohol isn't good. Walking into town, how would that be affected? Yes transport does become stupid |

Love it. Only get the chance to go racing a couple of times a year.
Have a bet every week and Cheltenham is the cup final of jump racing.
Was lucky enough to go once.
Long may it continue.
PM's welcome for Any tips. |

Having worked there I'd estimate 35-45% of the people there aren't interested in the racing where as the trails meet and the hunters chase meeting would only be a out 10-15% |

"Sorry, we spent a good many years working at Cheltenham Festival, and hated it, far too many horses put to sleep for our liking "
Just of interest sw. How many is far to many. ? ( not having a go at you)
National hunt owners see their horses as pets in many many instances and are distraught when any harm comes to them . The horses clearly enjoy what they do or they would refuse.
To national hunt people 1 death is to many. |

In 2006 eight horses lost their lives. I am not condemning the sport, I'm just saying that I hated watching the tents go up, it seemed a shame, and I do agree with you that horses wouldn't jump unless they wanted to. |
