Rob Yong's Blog V3 "WSOP 2010 & Life After DTD Opened"

[kinboshi]

  The additional taxes increased DTD costs by £400K, the club was already losing money, so this was a bit of a disaster for us but totally out of our control

   Quite staggering, given all thats gone before, your financial advisors never slapped you around the face and said "for goodness sake just sell the *&%$*&* club!!"

   Thank god you didn't!

 

They may well have done!

Rob's too stubborn

This tax has hit the Vic for over £1m per year...

Rob ever thought about putting a machine in the smoking area?

 probably a bit tacky but whilst they smoke out there they aren't spending investing.

I'm fairly sure that outside areas like this cannot be licensed for gaming machines or tables.

Les A club in London has an outside smoking gambling area....tables and machines if I remember.

To get to break even after that was dropped on you is a superb acheivement

Is it annoying from a commercial point of view between DTD and blonde that Tikay has just disappeared?

Firstly what did you want to achieve with your post... Who did you want to a bite at your bait?

He's Probably sick of negative comments from people like you! ( I am)

Rob and Nick are understanding and are caring types of chaps who support Tony and Blonde 100%.

What do you want Rob, Nick or DTD to post. There not happy with the deal ?

Show a bit of class please.

I of course apologise if this is just through the frustration of how the Greek economy has turned to Ratshit and Murder.

WTF is this all about? Cos has asked a valid question. Blonde is half the place without Tikay, If he was here promoting DTD etc then i'm sure traffic on the site would be busier. Look at the impact he has on Sky Poker. The minute he logs in and is on his thread then 10-15 people are viewing his diary waiting for him to post, then probably double that are viewing the thread once he has posted. The affect he has on blonde is massive.

To ask if DTD are worried or concerned about his lack of activity on Blonde isn't that terrible a question. In fact, it's quite a good question for someone who comes from a country with an economy that has turned to Ratshit & Murder.

Wow please get off your high horse. You tell me to show class and you make some stupid irrelevant comment about the Greek economy? wp you.

First of all, I have a huge amount of respect for Tikay. I have also supported blonde in a hell of a lot of ways; plugged it on my blog, on the radio show, always wear the badge at live events (including one on TV). I always talk up DTD in much the same way. So I don't make my comment to just bring the place down, in fact I want to see both absolutely thrive.

My question is relevant and fair in relation to the thread and wouldn't cause a stir if a dousche like you didn't choose to take issue with it.

Regards,

G

Cos and John, please keep it civil

I'm not deleting anything on Rob's thread unless I really have to....but please don't make things awkward for the mods by making it personal thanks

No objection to legitimate questions (particularly those which affect me directly lol) which Rob and tikay can choose to answer if they wish to do so
