    Ho hum! All the stuff you want will be behind the veil, dunno what the charge is yet. This could kill the Price Wise thread.

    Must be struggling for sales. I don't blame them anyway. Go out and buy their actual publication if you want their information or at the very least grab a quick glance off the shelf.

    lol, take the laptop into the newsagency as well....

    No. i think for them it is the wrong thing... there are other avenues if membership fees are too much. :)

    at the races website has all the info

    and free replays off all the stuff they can't charge for (as they can't supply it) on the post site

    You don't get half the info you get on their site, hence why the charge. Their online site is fantastic and aids me greatly when betting, I won't ever bet on a horse that I haven't studied thoroughly on the racing post site and sometimes the video captions on attheraces if they are available. A small fee for such much needed information about my selections is no problem whatsoever for me. When times must, take action, I'm sure all of you would so similar.

    I've got used to the design of the place I have to say and it loads quickly enough since they fixed it.

    I do the same thing famous45... but have they said what the prices are going to be?
    I do think it is greedy of them to do this - i know it's business etc BUT they make a motza off advertising and other avenues on their site.. I also thought they were shareholders in Racing UK...
    The ATR website is very good but i think it will only be a matter of time before they charge on content as well...
