formtheory in our local pub about 35 years ago there were always fights and stabings etc in the tap room , something to do with drugs but things were a lot worse in the best room where people would insist on showing you photographs of a fish.T tacker
I know what your saying, there's people that love racing, know every bit of history about past races, talk constantly about horses etc...
Unless I'm working a race for a bet, I'm not bothered. Could go weeks without watching it if I wanted, but at the same time don't need to bet either.
I wish I was passionate about the full sport but in all honesty I'm not.
