Post Would you pay a premium for RUK...
... If you could subscribe for Cheltenham and Aintree say... Or Newmarket and York, or Epsom and Ascot... or the racing over Christmas say 24th December-Victor Chandler day at Ascot i.e. for big race meetings, and the racing in between.

Say if it was £40 for the month starting 11th March 2013 ending 7th April 2013. That is double the going rate for less than a subscription would give you, BUT you have to pay for a subscription for 12 months. You can no longer pick it up and drop it... Personally I'd like to see this, I can't afford £240 a year but I desperately want to watch RUK rather than C4 for Cheltenham week. I am dreading watching those C4 idiots this week with their ridiculous race previews and constant advert breaks, I don't think we even saw horses in the paddock last year for all the previews and adverts. But am I the only person who would pay for this?

If you have a tablet or mobile, I think you can subscribe for £9.99 per month.

No what Ruk should do if someone had a brain is do a pay per view £2.00 a day then I can watch Ruk on weekends aswell as big meetings like Cheltenham.
I would of thought by now it would have been possible to do how much would the channel get this week if we had pay per at £2 a day. 8)

C4 covers all major races, all group/ grade 1s in Britain and those in Ireland when possible, free to view with a decent covering team so I'm not complaining.

I get all the Irish meetings on Attheraces which is in my Sky package but I would like to see the other races at Cheltenham after CH4 stops.

Me too, also without the adverts and Claire Balding! They hardly cover those that run after C4 stops.

I third this - Sky costs me a fortune as it is, I should get all the races I want to see and RUK/ATR for free with no adverts, and a free helicopter ride to the bloody course once a year!

I wish ATR would go back to the way it was when it first started it was so good. But RUK are so money grabbing, it's sick really.
