Head Office or the upper echelons of management still leaves it well out of our hands, though I am 99% certain that all budgeting is done by Head Office - Certainly they were the ones behind our almost complete stop on advertisements, and they are the ones that set our targets. I am sure the casino has some small amount of room of maneuvre in regards to what it spends but given the state of -our- company, cutbacks are enforced and money is tight.
So even if it's not the norm, I somehow can't help but feel we're heads up against

and we've looked down to find our hole cards as

We're live, but we're almost certainly behind!
I feel for you Guys......I really do.....as my old man frequently says to me.......don't let the barstewards grind you down. I suppose at the end of the day Head Office are making decisions that they believe are correct for the business. I do not believe anobody goes to work to do a bad job. I wish they would let me take one site and remarket it for six months so that I could show them what they might be like. If Grosvenor continue to just listen to accountants then their business will go the same way as British Rail......prices up.....costs down.....everybody uses some other form of transport. Everything is already in situ to make more money IMHO it just needs unlocking. I know.....I have a big mouth......come on Grosvenor take me up on it......one site.....6 months
Its ok Snatty, in a couple of years we can open our own club, then you can show off your marketing prowess!!!
