There was quite a lot of negative feedback on their social media advertising I believe. They compounded this by removing some of the negative comments which caused people on my friends list to open attack on their own walls which compounded the general feeling of ill will towards them.
Grosvenor are being somewhat short-sighted in my opinion as the PartyPoker tour gather momentum.
There is always negative feedback from the loud few but my point is does it actually make any difference to the vast majority of people who play them? Even the moaners quite often moan but still turn up and pay it so they look even more stupid for me than people who don't moan at all. What level would it have to go to for a substantial majority to boycott the event? £1000+£150? £1000+200? Even if they charged £1200 and the field halved in size they would still make the same total rake and have far smaller expenses from a field half the size dealer wise and the length of time it took for the event to run. From a pure business point of view i can see why they are doing it because i don't think it will have any impact on the field sizes at all. This isn't just a discussion about the GUKPT i am looking at it from the wider industry angle. are you coming up to blackpool mate?

Seems a lot of Vicks post natal depression problems were due to the pain She was getting from her scar, which had an abcess under it. Now that's come out and The scar is healing she's 100% better in herself, should be back on the grind in no time. Evie is 5 on Sunday and Fred turned 6 in September. Amazing to think they were 2 and 3 when i met them.

Percy had his jabs today bless him, 3 needles and a drink he's very drowsy Which is expected but wasn't easy seeing him scream in pain. All for the best though. Vicks scar opened at the end quite badly due to an infection/abcess pushing out So they couldn't stitch it back up. It's began to heal a little and her mood has got so much better.
So much so that I might be back on the grind Saturday or Sunday. I've been off the grind for 17 days now Which doesn't sound that much but I still adore playing sessions and I've been on a solid run of cashing out most Nights since a horrid start to the year.

Two I like at Brighton today now they've had a bit of rain, not as much as expected but Will still be on the slow side.
2.30 George- ran in what's turned out to be 3 very good maidens and ran to his mark In two nurserys will enjoy the cut and hopefully the extra furlong on breeding. Cumanis jolly has been pulled recently due to soft ground, amazed were not clear fav 3.35. Port lairge. This a lot riskier but thrown in on some course and distance form of this lowering Mark. Will like the cut negative is often slow away. Anything over 8/1 looks a good Ew bet To me (have also bet the fav in race)

Shows you how unpredictable the game is and how key pace of the race is When you see seemingly exposed Johnston horses winning off career high marks on their 29th run of the season 😂

Interestingly to me , Hugh Taylor put it up yesterday and it went off bigger than his morning recommend price I think.
Yes I think people like to take on wide draws at kempton and rightly so, was quite impressive last night, sir marks often drift and win It's never anything to worry about with his yard

It's a funny old game, had biggest bet of the year on bath and tennis at Chepstow when it ran no sort of race Not a penny on last night when it dances up at 11/2. At some point you gotta say no to the cliff.
Had an ew nibble on baghdad in the 1.30 at 33/1 well bred, positive stable change positive step up in distance Positive time off to mature no stable info on how good he is but will run to his merit with connections.

Vick shown a lot of improvement last few days, Fred and Evie been at their dads since 9am Saturday and she's spent A load of time bonding with Percy and letting me lounge about watching racing and footy. Her bloody scar from the c-section has a few tiny holes that have opened and she's back on anti-biotics for that which is a pain, but very happy with her progress this weekend. As for Wednesday 😡 Carlos has to go now

Don't wanna sound like a bad loser but sds had a brain fart Trying to lie up with that ludicrous pace and paid for it in the end, Star rock is def the one to take out of the race. Another York another graveyard Must stop betting there, always seem to be looking at the wrong things
