TPH has moved this article from The Chair to The Chair (Grand National), which was mooted at the AfD. I don't actually think this name is sufficiently accurate, it's a fence at Aintree that is there the whole time, and is jumped in races besides the Grand National. I'm not quite sure what a better name might be, but we ought to have the conversation here. Bigger digger (talk) 22:02, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That's a good point, thanks for bringing it to my attention. Personally I'm not familiar enough with Aintree outside the National to know if The Chair (Grand National) or The Chair (Aintree) would be best. Andy Dingley (talk) 22:18, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not going to express a preference here, but the other option is The Chair (Racing fence). I'll leave it up to the horse racing experts though. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 22:27, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
fence name, dabbed by racecourse name (Aintree Racecourse), ie The Chair (Aintree Racecourse) --Redrose64 (talk) 22:43, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How about The Chair (fence)? Disambiguation is there to distinguish ambiguity, not to define. "fence" is adequate for this, simpler and less problematic for the Aintree / Grand National question. Andy Dingley (talk) 22:47, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Chair (Aintree Racecourse) seems most natural and unambiguous. The current title is pretty poor since the fence is used in races other than the Grand National – specifically the Fox Hunters' Chase and Becher Chase – which also makes the Aintree/National question a non-issue. _wjemather^bigissue 22:58, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I think this one is the best option. Of course we should also redirect the other suggestions there. Reyk _YO! 23:28, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - I'd agree that (Aintree Racecourse) is the best option so far, let's see if anyone else chips in. Bigger digger (talk) 00:33, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - I agree with The Chair (Aintree Racecourse). --Bduke (Discussion) 02:33, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      - Sounds the best option to me.--Bcp67 (talk) 05:49, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        No point in hanging around. Article moved, redirects created. Thanks all! Bigger digger (talk) 16:10, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
