    The Festival is coming up and we should decide how we want to chat about it.

    I personally like the one thread per race option. The title should be 

    Cheltenham 2018 - Day 1 - Supreme Novices
    Cheltenham 2018 - Day 4 - Gold Cup

    etc.

    One Giant Thread 36 votes

    That’s 28 threads over 2 pages but if it works...

    I'll need this poll changed, don't know how to do it.

    One Giant Thread should be an option not the title of the poll :'(

    Do you want to set up the 28 threads now, as listed above, for all days (28 threads), or do you want me to do it?
    .
    I will close them all, then on Monday night, Tuesday morning I will open the seven threads for Tuesday.
    Late on Tuesday night, early Wednesday I will open the Wednesday threads.

    I think opening them all as early as possible is best? Not sure. One thread per day is not a bad idea either though. 28 threads could be a bit much?
    I'd say it should be between 1 per day and one per race anyway

    One a day

    I have put up a sample thread and closed it.

    What do you think?
    When should it be opened?
    Should I / we put up threads for day 2, day 3, day 4 now or later?
    Is the layout alright or what do you recommend?

    Thread(s) open once final decs are out as far as i'd be concerned. No speculation etc etc

    I'm guessing there will be feedback after Ireland hammer Scotland. :)
