In reply to LLevens last post, I am not sure if LCI got any objections, but I know for a fact the Stanleys Casino in Nottingham which opened a few months ago got ZERO objections at their hearing, how this happended, I could only speculate, I don't know the answers (hmmm)
The evidence from the objectors is due back to us on the 28th August, I guess I'll get more of an idea on how the case will go when I can see there evidence, or if in fact I have missed anything. I don't think you need to be a rocket science to forecast their case will contain:
1. "expert market analysis" on demand for poker and/or a casino by some Dr of Gaming
2. Don't give dtd a licence as they will not be able to make any money from poker so they will put in casino tables/or sell to another casino
3. Staneys card room is not full - so how can there be more demand for poker
4. blah blah
I'll be really interested to see LCI's argument that there is no need for dtd when they are having to hold the WSOP Europe in 3 separate casinos due to the demand for poker!
Gala never even had the respect to reply to my offer of signing an agreement not to have casino games/sell ot another casino company, so I guess that is a dead duck.
I wish the case was next week, not in 4 weeks time, we are all fed up of the waiting around and for me personally, whatever the outcome, I am looking forward to putting these last couple of years behind me and focussing on the future for dtd and my other projects, plus having some time to play a few poker tournamants and watch a few more football matches...
