Cheers mate, and thank you for posting your support aswell, I've just printed off the hearing thread, seems not one negative response, very strange as the casinos seems to read and track everything I do and say in the media, pity not one of them has got the guts to say anything in the poker media about why they are opposing a dedicated poker club. I guess I can just expect them to contiune to hide behind their expensive legal team and keep their fingers crosses while sitting in the background.................

"Come on Gala, Stanelys, LCI, lets have one of you or your employees or your supporters (you must be able to find one person somewhere who is on your side - surely) show some spine and explain to the poker world why you have our best interests at heart,as your loyal customers"

lol Rob

OK, Devil's Avacado here,

'Mr Yong, you say that you couldn't operate as a casino even if you wanted to but if we grant you a licence without any conditions, what is to stop you refurbishing the place and selling it on as a fully functional casino in a couple of years?'

Hello MR Avacado,

Good post. I'll answer you shortly but rest assured, I am well aware of your point and I have dealt with it already. Cheers Rob

Rob, Best of luck mate.

Sorry if this idea has been floated previously, I'm a wee bitty off the pace, read every page til about 63 but I missed a few and my memories not what it was.

Anyway, Dusk til Dawn possibly faces a lengthy court battle (whether we like it or think it's just or not). As an economist and a poker player, I am very keen on seeing the casinos' monopoly being broken up, to the extent I'll put my money where my mouth is. Not much, but I'd be willing to chip at least a cheeky wee ten spot or so to help cover court costs. Assuming I'm not the only one who feels as strongly in the blonde community (which numbers thousands), about this club and what it represents, would it be legally acceptable (in England, as I write from cold Caledonia) to set up such a fund to help rob out? One with legally appointed (whatever) trustees who could help out?

I'm a wee bitty drunk so this idea might be absolute tosh or previously floated... but you know what I mean. A particular account on a poker site for transfers would be equally effective but I suppose contributors would need guarantees where the cash was goin...

g'd night y'all

I assume the relevant legislation was enacted at a point where we had a Labour government with genuine socialist ideals?
 
Because I was under the impression we were living in a free market economy - are there any other businesses where you legally have to prove a demand for the product or service?

[bone1986]

You're spot on Jon, if there is demand for a product or service then that company will flourish if there is not it will fail. If the casino groups thought that there would be no demand then they would have little objection to Rob's application, but as we all know there is overwhelming demand and they are worried about that.
