Does anyone remember when Blue Peter decided to highlight disabled people and featured Joey Deacon in his wheelchair trying to do things? Anybody at school struggling to do anything was instantly called Joey.
I've just bought 3 tickets for next saturday and there are not a lot left, I usually sit in row R in block 27 and the closest I could get to the pitch was block RR.
So when they claim that the welfare of the horses is their no 1 priority they only mean whilst it has the potential to earn them some money, once that day has passed they couldn't give a shit!!!
I wonder what the life expectancy is of a retired racehorse. I doubt if it's as long as a normal horse. I would think the owners move them on to other owners, sanctuaries, retirement places, etc as soon as they can as it's an expense they don't want.
They had 26,500 last home game & stadium holds just over 34,000. You'll have to buy your tickets in advance. If we're still in with a chance I'm going to try & buy a ticket for a home stand, hopefully I'll be OK with a Scottish postcode.
It wasn't. I was living in Solihull at the time and a Man Utd season ticket holder I worked with got stuck on the A45 trying at Sheldon trying to get to Birmingham to get the coach and missed their draw with Leeds.
Newcastle away that was postponed because of waterlogged pitch? When game was rescheduled no away fans were allowed because of new stand(s) at St James' Park
But the Jockey club claim that the welfare of the horses is the most important part of horseracing. It is definitely not for the benefit of the betting companies or the local economy in this case. It's not just jumping these fences that is cruel as races like the Derby are also cruel for young...
