tikay on #3 today, alverton on #6.

Good luck all.

End of Day 1

Boom. They'll be dancing in the streets of Inverness tonight.

think i might have to check back and find out when i last got a return in one of these comps

I only took over from Mere 6 years ago so can't help.

4 places shown on sporting life for the 14.10 ........

 

Saw that. The intention was always to use the 'standard' no. of places for each race and sportinglife seemed as good as any other site to get that list from. Now they are owned by the same group as Sky Bet they are more visibly pushing the marketing that Sky Bet pay seventy bazillion places on some races.

So I'm going to stick with the traditional 2/3/4 places depending on number of runners, hope everyone is OK with that.

My bad - I thought he hadn't entered

He posted that he would so I'm sure it's just an oversight, hope he's OK.

Two races in and two tipsters are two from two.

Hopefully the spreadsheet is visible, done the last few updates on my phone.

tikay appears to be AWOL so will be on horse #3 today.

£25 sent sorry for being so late.

No worries, the more the merrier. Happy for anyone else to join in too.

Morning from a sunny Gothenburg, will update the spreadsheet and entries shortly.

 

Twenty grand max allowed for travel to away fixtures.

Tuchel currently googling National Express and Travelodge.

Who remembers Tyrone the Brummie "professional roulette player"?

I think he might have made an appearance on LNP.

Indeed he did, Tyrone Pooley was his name which took me down a bit of a rabbit hole:

And going back to LNP series 1 and a whole host of other "what happened to?" candidates, including one which led me to one of the best clarifications ever:

And from there a rather unexpected quote from a West Country comic:
