Alright lads, I'm thinking of going to trials day on my own as all of my mates seem to be busy and it'll be my first time at cheltenham providing it goes ahead, is there anything I should really know like how early to get there ect or if any forum meet ups are going ahead? Cheers!

I'd say , steer clear of anyone not wearing a shirt and shouting out " Sweet Cherry Nipples " , for starters . !! .:welcoming:.

Caldwell selling 29 lots - including Caldwell Potter and Jazzy Matty. Tatts catalogue out early February.
 
Not good for Gordon ….one of his biggies

Tho he has spent crazy amounts for low G1 return at Chelt
 
The taxman must have caught up with them, outrageous for a builder to have that kinda spare change!
 
They’ve had a few bad luck ones especially Mighty Potter and this right off the back of D B Cooper during the week.
 
Jesus. Yeah that’ll be all of them.

Caldwell Potter bets down the pan when he’s moved to Jonjo’s.
 
Maybe losing D B Cooper yesterday was it for them. Add how much he cost in with the emotional side of it all.

That won’t have influenced the decision at all imo. They’re gonna make heavy losses on almost all of their purchases, the timing of the call says it has been forced upon them surely. So close to the pinnacle of the season.

Yeah I was just speculating on that too. Early Feb is such a strange time to sell unless there’s been a specific moment which as sparked this. Disrupts the whole campaign.

It’s a one off sale just for Caldwell that’s highly unusual, something’s gone awry all of a sudden.

Hi Zachx02 - not sure who else is there but I’m going with a mate and usually there on the day early if you fancy saying hello and grabbing a pint. Drop me a PM if so and we can set something up.

Will also be in the Plough the evening before, as I’m staying in Prestbury.

I'm with the Missus so might not have long to meet up on the day but may be able to at some point.
Get there as early as you want especially if you want a look around.
It's a busy day, but not festival busy although they close some bars for private events so can feel busier than the numbers suggest.

I'm sure there must be some going who'll meet up and show you around for a bit/have a drink ?
 
I'm going on my own as all my mates are heathens too - happy to meet up!

Halligan is a comedy act - hasn't a clue

Cheltmental & Finishing Line done a Collab tonight for trials day, basically Dave stuck up a few long shots, and some were questionable, but got cut down over and over again, just skip to the last 2 mins of the stream and Dave had enough and snapped basically and cut the stream dead on an awkward atmosphere... Good for him though, Halligan coming across fairly awful again.
