    Crew of us heading over for stag weekend. I'm going to get the boat over on Friday morning and hope to stay till the Tuesday.

    Go racing the Saturday, anniversery service on Sunday and then the Fulham match on Monday night.

    Many going and also what are tickets like for the races, price wise, availability, anyone know of any going cheap or free;)

    The friday is the toughest day to get tickets for as its ladies day and the best day of the event so people say

    I take it its not like Punchestown where you will always have a few spare floating around then no.

    I'm hoping to be on the bill pay by then so I shouldn't have a problem on that front;)

    Have you been before Gerry yeah?

    Going to Villa the Easter weekend and was hoping that the meet was the same week. But it's the weekend after. Thinking of taking the week off to go now as i've never been to national. Supposed to be a great day.

    I won't be surprised if the club ask for the game to be played on the friday nite with the national on the saturday and the anniversery service on the sunday

    Was at the national last year. Booked tickets a good few months in advance. Paid £50 for the tickets and they werent even that great. We were low enough down so we didnt see half of the grand national. Some amount of talent there though. I hear Friday is ridiculous altogether!

    I think it is nailed on for Sat 12.45 why would they have it on the website if it wasnt the case, no reason why they cant have both on.

    Dave if you can make it in time to the Fridays meeting (ladies day) you should definitely go - you will be walking around with a permanent one direction.

    Was at one of those, Ipswich, the Julian Dicks last Liverpool goal game in front of standing KOP. Freezing day, but the National was great. Freddie Starrs horse won
