Champion Chase 2018

Was just coming on to post this myself! Yeas noticeable move... fingers crossed this is how it pans out.
 
The other forum is dead as a dodo mate! Worse than ever. Would be sad, but for this place!
 
Im guessing the vast majority on here used to be on there?
 
I was on it too but rarely posted.

This is a much better site imo. I must check on here 10-15 times a day.

In fairness it was really good about 15 years ago when I first joined. Some really interesting debate and some very, very knowledgeable people on there. But went downhill rapidly. Agree this site is in a different league now.

Most of the regular posters left around 5 years ago. Not sure where they went - I half expected them to be on here.
 
Yeah I thought they might be too. I know some went to The Racing Forum.
 
I know a lot went to TeeTees forum, certainly a lot of the Chelts forum did.

Thanks SOAG. Just checked their archive and it there are plenty of usernames that I recognise. The betfair forum is certainly a worse place without them.
 
FM, yeah I joined more or less as soon as TT started it, probably 5years ago or more, but their level of racing knowledge was amazing and I found that I could contribute very little and slowly drifted away. I know that the guys were fed up of the nonsense on BF and how great threads could be wrecked in no time by the loons. Teets built the site very rapidly and very successfully, a bit like this forum really.
