Who are they then?

Who are they then?

Thank you Mr Colchester!!

They have completely misread what the poker community wants in a magazine show

can he say shite?

Started off with promise, but yes, shite is a good word. Well played

can he say shite?

New on here so hi to everyone!
Not a big fan of forums (can bring out the worst in people) but I felt compelled to join so I could express my utter dismay at Sky (http://www.skypoker.com/poker/sky_lobby?aff=1062) Poker (http://www.skypoker.com/poker/sky_lobby?aff=1062)'s 'The Club'!
They have completely misread what the poker community wants in a magazine show, news and reports on the UK scene with player profiles and the odd report from tourneys overseas. Not just a half hour promo for the channel and its comps! typical sky really (you only have to watch Sky Sports News............one long ad for whatever they are showing on their sport channels).
Poker week may not have been the greatest show on TV but it great for the UK pokerheads. Hope it comes back!

Without trying to be biased towards the Club having appeared on it, but will then go on to be biased  :D.

I'm assuming that 'The Club' replaced 'Poker Week'  because of money?

I think it depends on which show you watch, for example the recent show with Eddie Hearn was in my view a good interview and interesting about how some of the big tv poker tournies are pulled together and the future of the premier League etc. There are other shows where the guests are of no interest (who knows maybe even mine). I also think the show is just trying to be fun and think Dan and Matt pull this off (on the whole)
As for Poker 425/poker week the club isn't trying to compete with this type of show and wish it could be brought back, but guess this is all down to money.

PS welcome to the forum.

Nothing to do with 'Sky Bet" then?

Sky bet sponsored the show so i would say they are very much linked

Milton - are you saying there might be some sort of link between Sky Bet and Sky (http://www.skypoker.com/poker/sky_lobby?aff=1062) Poker (http://www.skypoker.com/poker/sky_lobby?aff=1062)?

this man knows his stuff!!

 ::)  Interesting that isn't it.....?

This really sounds like PM's question time, ask one question and then lead on to another.....the more important one.

Not sure what the agenda is behind this. However, Poker week and The Club are unrelated. End.  Period ;whistle;

so you work for sky then? can you fix my dish!

actually it's very difficult to defend the program but we really should continue to tip toe around the subject for tikay's sake (he actually thinks it's great you know).

i'm assuming that only a gaming site would want to sponsor a poker show........................................but as i have said i have not seen any other gaming sponsorship on sky programming other then sky bet, but i don't watch sky all the time so i could be wrong.

Interesting thread, I'll reply (to the sensible questions) later today, & I'll send it to the Sky Suits for their perusal.

In the Interim, we've asked the Original Poster not to open Duplicate Accounts for the purpose of deliberate obfuscation, & requested he closes one Account or the other.

I'll try & explain how the Sponsorship & Funding of Poker Shows such as Poker Week works, & the sort of money it costs.

Seperate to that - because two subjects are becoming mixed up, & they are quite different, I'll try & explain the purpose of "The Club", & what it sets out to achieve.

My comments will, of course, need to be read in the context that I have, & openly declare, a vested interest, & I have no desire to mislead. Or use a new, separate, Forum Alias for such purpose.

Thanks to all those talking about our output.

This is the simple basicness of it all: Sky Bet owns Sky (http://www.skypoker.com/poker/sky_lobby?aff=1062) Poker (http://www.skypoker.com/poker/sky_lobby?aff=1062). The channel was set up to be a shop window for our online and interactive poker and gaming services.

We are there to talk about skypoker.com and all it's tournaments. We operate within strict guidelines and, I think, proivde a channel packed with information and entertainment relating to the world of poker.

Our service is highly respected with awards and nominations for both the website and the channel in its first year of operation.

Regarding the slagging off of The Club, we have set this show up explicitly to act as a platform for the questions and suggestions of viewers. It therefore depends on viewer content to succeed. The Club is meant to link into a forum. We are waiting for thias forum to be launched. In the meantime, I think we have found a terrific double act in Matt and Dan and we are stepping up the amount of news and info from the poker world week by week.

We are also in the process of working on new formats: a two hour cash table competition and a late night, more analytical poker show that focuses on the game in a similar style to the excellent and much missed PNL.

That's much more official blather than I usually offer - but I hope it helps explain the situation a little bit and saves Tikay a bit of time to concentrate on his Pilates and Yoga. I hear he has gone all Tantric.

I don't know..he did but I can feel a ban coming on...He could have said  "ass goblins, ass kabobs, ass monkeys, black banana, blind eels, boulder, chocolate channel chewie, colon cannonballs, corn eyed butt snake, corn massacre, crapsters

It's not an "Adults Only" forum though Alex.

(We also had a constant stream of complaints from the hotels Tikay and Comp stayed in - throwing TVs out of windows, nailing furniture to the ceiling, etc.)
