Thanks, when stuff like this happens sometimes making a lot of noise can make you feel better, but unfortunatley in the cold light of day, there is only one way that this hearing date could ever be changed, and that would be for at least 2 of the objectors to withdraw. We spoke to them all weeks before the hearing, giving undertakings that we would not operate casino games etc etc this was met on deaf ears. At the hearing these so called rivals were huddled up together, whispering, looking more like collegues that competitors.

After the hearing my solictor asked Gala if there was any chance of withdrawing their objection, they are clearly "co-ordinating" things, I was a bit shocked that he said their brief actually said "fxxx off", but maybe that was meant with a bit of humour, who knows? Under the circumstances, I did not find it funny lolSo, if you want to write to anyone, it would have to be the casinos, they seem in control now, but I'm afraid the chances of success seem very limited.

Personally, I would rather starve than appeal to Gala's good nature after the blatent collusion I saw today, however, I repeat, I chose this route, to take these risks, so I made my bed, and I must lie it in, and be as gracious in defeat as possible - its just business, and clearly those 2 years I had off galavanting around the world have left me a touch rusty! I appreciate all the good wishes, but noone should feel sorry for me, life has been very good to me, so I was probabaly due a setback, its not critical, but is painful. as Dik9 says, with the new gambling act coming into force in Sept 2007, the clear influence that the large corporates have, the possibility of further adjournments/problems, plus the financial consequences. Realistically, I cannot now rely on the Magistrates Court to rule in my favour in September after todays result.

Cheers again, Rob
