I love all the people that are criticising the new C4 racing before it has even begun. I will say this though. When Channel 4 got the rights to England's test cricket matches, a lot of people thought that it would go to pot. However, they revolutionised the way cricket is televised. I have a feeling they might do the same with their horse racing coverage. Channel 4 will be wanting to crack 1million viewers a week for their coverage on Saturdays. Therefore they have to make changes, as at the moment, it is incredibly stale and quite poor.”

An old mans club ? Don't talk daft, how is it ?
Plus you say we are not giving the new hosts a chance. I think I may have seen this Balding woman a few times in the past, i do believe she popped up on our TV screens once or twice this year.
To me C4 have lost the man in the street touch. Thommo and Fat Al are a big loss and Francome is a monumental hole they have to fill. I like Mick Fitz, he is very good but is he a Francome ? We shall have to wait and see.
