Negotiations are continuing with potential new Sponsors. We need a) to find a Sponsor, & b) to find a "slot" that's good value to the would-be sponsor.

Not an easy do.

I really hope it does come back. There are loads of poker shows out there these days, but poker week was unique. It had a sort of "Home grown, you and me" type feel about it.

As well as keeping me up to speed with the movers and shakers, the "Poker elite" as it were, it also found time for the footsoldiers, the players I know personally, and venues I frequent.

We are on the case, trudging round sponsors, knocking on doors to sell our wares. I may have to drop my trousers to get a deal.

The Club is truly, truly awful. I understand Sky is going for a different poker audience but "The club" is just about the worst poker show I have ever seen anywhere. It's all packaging and no substance.

i agree you can see the club is done on the cheap nothing in the show except for the interviews some of which i have liked,no reason for the show to be more than 15min though,i have been thinking of sending sky an email about how they treat poker players who have sky, you would think they would give us some sort of benifit £55 a month full package for years and not even a added tournament just for sky users ,just shows how they dont want to spend that much on poker.

Well I enjoy the club, if only cos it reminds me of the good old days of Poker Night Live. I think they actually should revive PNL to run after the open has finshed.

Plus it must be self financing now with all the juice on tournies and the rake in cash games. It would be v.interesting to see what they are raking off the top. In fact if you add all the extra roulette / casino games / quiz programmes that the punters are spending their coffers it must add up to millions.
