where do we get the figure only 2 people have voiced there concerns?
i personally had a chat with carmel last week with my concerns and also a quiet chat with alistair and have also spoken to martin in the past when concern regards the poker room.
just because we dont inform tikay or snoopy that we have done this doesnt mean that only 2 people have voiced concerns to the powers that be.
good luck in your quest tony i hope you suceed.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the poker community don't bring too much income for the casino [/quote]
Would have to disagree mate, lots of poker players drop a chunk at the tables and these festivals are what brings in the fillet beef of punters. Why else do you think they run them Snoops, for the benifit of us poor poker players!

Well, I do agree that is odd that they don't make a big fuss of their festivals with satellites, advertising, etc, as these events can bring in some big house game players if enough buzz is created.

I bet we can remove some of these little niggles.
Personally, I can live with them, as they are minor irritants in the grand scheme of things.
Tikay, what exactly is the
Grand scheme
of things at Luton. From what l witnessed it did not involve a poker friendly/focused environment. You say that you are tolerant to these little things, but surely you are seen as an Ambassador for Poker Players by many of these casinos brought about by your television time, blonde etc. Is this not a bad thing, as your actions or words are inadvertently informing these people that things aren't to bad and can be easily rectified. I think it will take a lot longer than 1 month to change the direction Luton is going, which is why l will take you up on your £50 bet. Will be at
dt
d
on Thursday, put it on deposit at cash desk if allowed. Who will judge the changes?
I meant "in the Grand Scheme of Life" rather than Luton specifically, Mick, poker is, after all's said & done, an irrelevance in the real world.
I'm not sure how I'm seen by others, & I certainly don't set myself up as an Ambassador for poker, but I do hate moaning without doing anything, so I'm gonna give it a go.
The Bet is on. I'm not fussed who judges it - you name someone to judge. The criteria is "has the Cardroom reasonably improved?".
I don't thnk it's right to lodge the stakes at DTD - that'd be a little indelicate! - but any reasonable stakeholder is OK by me.

OK, I stand corrected, only 2 people that I know of have seriously negotiated these issues with G-Luton. If there are more, fine, I accept that.
good luck in your quest tony i hope you suceed.
Oh, I will!

Tony, as l know you from Gala Notts and other venues on the circuit l know you are very genuine and just an oul fish from the Midlands that frequently misreads
as
, and l know you are very modest but surely you must be aware that your face stands out as one of the daddies (granda's) of European Poker. If you can use this to rectify the problems at Luton and steer them in the right direction it would be fantastic and although l think you will make an impression, l think you will have to grow a grey beard and hair, wear a white robe and call yourself Gandalf the Grey to do it in a month.

As a matter of fact l can imagine you riding into Luton on a white stallion, at least you would have a comfortable seat unlike the Primary School seats in Lutons card room.

Looking at the numbers of their daily comps, they seem to be relatively well attended
Snoops - this is quite wrong!
The numbers have been falling steadily since the opening - and why? because people have been voting with their feet m8.
As for only 2 people approaching management, again this is incorrect. I know many people who have voiced their concerns AND suggestions many many times.

This is true Vince, but you know that people are staying away because of the problems.
