Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Just found this fascinating - if somewhat depressing - article about a new way of cheating:

If the link is lost in the future, search for Kelly Agnew.

Can’t believe a race would let that happen, you would have thought they would make it one way after the timing mat stop accidental double timing mat crossings.

Still not their fault he’s a cheating basket.
