Title: Why the late start times?
Post by: The Truth on August 08, 2005, 08:25:24 AM
Just read the Broadway casino website. Tournaments start at 21.30. Why do all casinos have such late start times? Most of us mere mortals have work next day. Also as cash games don't get underway until people start dropping out of the tournies a couple of hours revenue is surely missed.

Maybe it is just me but I would like to see 19.30 - 20.00 start times. What do others think?

i agree i would like to see tourneys start between 7-8pm. i would also like to see more freezeouts instead of rebuys all the time

Two excellent points, defo need more freezeouts, to accomodate the people who actually value their money and want to play a proper structured game from the start.

Totally agree, but the people who do the rotas want to get all the staff they can working till 6 or 7am. I have already voiced my opinion to those above. Two freezeouts a week will shortly be coming to the Broadway. Early days at mo bear with me plz.

i liked the 50 freezeout at walsall but now its changed and the only freezeouts they have is the late night speed one which isnt possible for me to attend very often or the 300 once a month jobbie and if i have not had a good month i cant always bankroll it.
if the broadway has 2 freezeouts a week then i shall be getting a membership there for sure.
thanks for the info dik9. and as the wall says what is the web address. if you dont want to post it because of spamming then send me a pm .
many thanks

printing the web address of a B&M casino by a member of said casino that is a participating member of this forum is not spamming and is welcomed

infact i wam waiting for the address myself (doubt i'll be down without the promise of some lapdancers though)

I think the bugbear of most on here is not necesarily that comps start at 8.30/9/9.30/whenever but that in the majority of places they start some time after that advertised

I like the Blackpool (i think) approach of punctuality or else...........

Spearmint Rhino and the Rocket Club within 500 Yrds Sorry ironside I am still unsure about wheelchair access, although I am sure Legs11 is all on the ground floor. Frankie Knight is on the case with 2 hotels at the moment, he is due to phone me later today with discounts (if any). Now in talks regarding televising 1000 final. All going well.

can you sort out discounts at the lapdaning in fact speak to manager and get the lapdancers in as valets for the night now that would make a flight down and a couple of night in a hotel worth it

ps not that bothered about the poker but 300-500 PLO8 freezeout would be prefered game of choice

As it happens, I do know a few employees there. Our valets are pretty hot aswell...85%

The 50 super satellite is rebuys and a top up  e.g. if it makes 7600 then the prize is 7 x 1000 seats and the 8th man gets the 600

One of my pals girlfriend works at the paradise club, i reckon i could get a discount but i just couldn't look her in the eye afterwards if i went :-[
She tells some great stories about situations and customers she's come across.
I used to know the fella who owned legs11, Tomato we called him and we got gold tickets for the place whenever we wanted!!

A bunch of us went to cuddles once, a pal of mine paid his 20 to the receptionist after selecting a 'lady' and followed her upstairs, when they got to the room she asked for 40 and he said "i've already paid downstairs", she says "that was for the room you have to pay me for the 'service ;)'.
"F**k that" he said and went back downstairs and got his 20 back!!

Aint it amazing how EVERY thread on blonde - this one began with "Late Starting Times" somehow finds it's way back to Lap-Dancing? You gotta love this place.

Oh, & the spamming issue. I agree with Ironside's post. It's of genuine use and benefit to the blondeites to know about The Broadway, and it's not at all like a first poster giving it the "sign up here" malarky, or a serial affiliate pusher "I have to recommend ****", which of course is pure financially motivated self-interest. It's a fine line we tread.

I can see some rivalry brewing between The Broadway & Walsall - fine, no problem, just keep it light hearted please lads. I must confess to never visiting The Broadway (yet), & having very fond memories of lots of good times at Walsall, which happens to be one of my fave venues.

Keep them coming, it's a GOOD thing that we have more choice, & we need to know about new Venues.

Its only friendly banter, I have enjoyed reading different threads and understand the nature of your forum. I appreciate a forum that puts across many sides of a spectrum of issues. Its about time you came down TK when you are free....2007 lol. You should all be pleased there is a little rivalry as only the poker players benefit! (we don't get paid anymore lol)

Thanks dik9, I agree wholeheartedly. "Understanding the nature of our Forum" is key.

See our "what's in a name" thread. (Kev/Ironside, bump it please).
