DTD

[MPOWER]

Hi Raindogs

Customers are encoraged to put there points across to the DTD Team.
In a nice face to face way or use the sugestion cards at the cash desk. ( Although i've never been to the cash desk yet!)

I cannot understand folk commenting on people who get barred from DTD. Before the club opened
Rob posted along the lines of "Water under the bridge every one is welcome" but I have rules and people may
get barred, for what some people may consider minor infringments of club rules.


Rob also posted this 14/1/8

I've done this in slanty red type because I thought it looked better.

"In the future, and for the avoidance of doubt, I / our management team / our staff would prefer people who choose to publicly criticise us (online or offline) not to vist our little poker club. I think this is very fair, we are a members only club, not a public casino, and noone has a right to enter our premises if we don't like their opinion of us."


Regards

M

Thanks for all the above posts; some well balanced and instructive replies.  I think it is important to debate these things.  You have a good point, Rob, that people who criticise publicly rather than going through the channels available are not being constructive- especially if they are just moaning.  At the end of the day, it is a private club; no-one has the "right" to be there.  I just would not want to see DTD struggling because too many people have been barred.

If you critisise D.T.D and I don't know you or don't like you, you will get barred if I see it.

This comment reminded me of school days. When I was a kid there was a boy in my class called Daniel. His parents were quite wealthy and he always had good stuff. Anyways he came to school one day and said his house now had a games room. In the games room they had a full size championship snooker table. This was around the time that Taylor beat Davis 18-17 in the 1985 World Snooker Championships. Snooker was well popular. Anyway Dan starts inviting people back to his house to play snooker, but his mum said he could only take two friends each night. It became clear that the people he chose to play each night were the ones who had been nicest to him that day. If you did something to upset Dan, then forget it, no snooker for you!!

So I decided to be really nice to Dan one day in order to get a game. I bought him a BreakAway biscuit for his lunch. Anyway when it came down to it I thought feck it I'll go and play football with my mates instead and ate the biscuit on the way home.

I've played in D.T.D a couple of times and it's a bloody good poker club.

Hi - I can't see why my comment reminded you of your schooldays unless it went more like this:

When I was a kid at school there was a boy called Dan who's parents had absolutley no money so he used to get up every morning before school and do a 100 mile paper round and mow the neighbours lawns at the same time, after school he also washed cars till 11pm every night. Dan then got some of his close school friends involved and generated part time jobs for over 1000 other school kids.

Dan really loved snooker and had many friends who also played, he had worked so hard that he could now afford to build a 47 table snooker hall and not worry whether it made a profit, as long as he could have some fun and it broke even he was more than happy.

Dan knew that there were few snooker players who had reputations for causing problems in the other snooker clubs but decided to give everyone a clean slate when the club opened. The other snooker clubs allowed these troublemakers to behave badly because they spent a lot of money on the slot machines in the snooker clubs.

After 8 months Dan's snooker club had 8,000 members and was by far the busiest snoooker club in the area, some weeks the snooker club lost money because Dan still had to pay the same costs as the other snooker clubs even though he chose not to have any slot machines in his club However, every few months Dan held a large snooker competition that balanced out these losses, so he was happy.

The troublesome snooker players had behaved really well for the first 6 months, as Dan had barred a couple of them in the first few weeks of opening. However, these troublesome snooker players now had their feet under the table and starting reverting back to their old ways, so Dan decided that he would make some changes for the benefit of the other 7,992 members and barred some more troublesome snooker players. Some of the players that Dan barred made up stories to tell the other kids at school but only the really gullable kids believed them.

Dan did not need to go to work after he left school, which made a few other kids jealous, he was already financially secure from his paper round, lawn mowing and car washing businesses. He also has a generous offer to buy his snooker club in case he ever gets bored or it becomes too much of a hassle, Dan could actually get out with a decent profit on his investment - so life was good for Dan.
