Geo Title: Re: MANCHESTER Post by: matt674 on January 30, 2007, 11:59:41 AM Yes it will be close to the City of Manchester stadium some 10 minutes walk from my tree house.
All this means now is that there will be even more people walking around Title: Re: MANCHESTER Post by: fatshaft on January 30, 2007, 12:06:10 PM Good news, Manchester, not too far from me.
Bad news, Manchester, one of Britains grottiest and most dangerous cities. Title: Re: MANCHESTER Post by: CrestOfaWave on January 30, 2007, 12:29:18 PM Any news on when it will be built? Hope they put in a decent sized card room. Only 30 minutes away for me. I thought Blackpool or London would have won but Manchester does make sense geographically.

Aye, like Blackpool is one of the cleanest and London is one of the safest!! ;) Title: Re: MANCHESTER Post by: SuffolkPunch on January 30, 2007, 12:41:01 PM sigh, a super casino in Ipswich would have been so nice.

Nothing for us mate .... a casino in our neck of the woods would be a gold mine ... no competition. Title: Re: MANCHESTER Post by: dik9 on January 30, 2007, 01:03:39 PM You got Milton Keynes ;D

Title: Re: MANCHESTER Post by: byronkincaid on January 30, 2007, 01:36:56 PM Maybe they'll set up a cardroom sponsored by an online site like VC and Loose Cannon? Or would that not be allowed under gaming regs?
Title: Re: MANCHESTER Post by: matt674 on January 30, 2007, 01:53:40 PM I hope it will have patroled, secure car parking..... Yes, as soon as you arrive you will be greeted by one of our little hooded hoodlems who will mutter words along the lines of "watch yer car fer a fivoh"......... whether you pay or not is another matter ;) Title: Re: MANCHESTER Post by: Woodsey on January 30, 2007, 03:47:28 PM Any news on when it will be built?

They don't offer poker in their casinos at present and are against doing it because they make more money from all the other games, so I wouldn't hold your breath.....

At the Atlantis resort they dont offer tournament poker because its illegal there as they dont count it as being a casino game. Pokerstars have to obtain a special license to run their WPT event there. Title: Re: MANCHESTER Post by: Woodsey on January 30, 2007, 04:22:53 PM Thats not true, because the other casino locally does have poker. I was talking to the managers there and they had considered it, but definately won't because of the reasons I have already mentioned.
Title: Re: MANCHESTER Post by: matt674 on January 30, 2007, 04:27:44 PM I'm just going off what we were told when we were there for the first WPT event there that John Gale won - if they've changed it since then i don't know but thats what we were told when we were over there 2 years ago.
Title: Re: MANCHESTER Post by: Woodsey on January 30, 2007, 04:37:02 PM I've been twice in the last 18 months. 18 months ago they were debating it, I got the last answer a couple of weeks ago not from a floor man but one of the managers. Its all down to the money, they make more from other games and just don't want it. I would love a big card room in the new manchester casino to open the options, but we cartainly can't assume there will be poker there.
Having said all that, they still have to allow other casino operaters to put in a bid to run the place, but as the current guys have already worked with the city of manchester on their bid I'd say they are front runners at the moment.
