Dancing Arrow R10 Scottsville

This is almost as bad as WoS - last night in the cricket I had a great book in running on the Dolphins and Titans, until it was washed out. They have me as losing on both teams!!
Waiting with bated breath for them to wake up from their inebriated state to correct it, without having to ask them.

You don't have to live with it - none of us do - We need a Punters Association that can liase with the operator to remedy these problems so that the game can survive

Sign me up Mr. Hawaii.

I will fight as hard as I can. Unfortunately I believe we have no chance fighting the system. THey simply don't care enough about us.

But if a punters union comes about...sign me up!

We already made the system yelp - if they are not prepared to play ball fairly and talk to punters they might soon be recycling unused tote tickets to recoup company funds

If you serious about a punters union, sign me up as well.
Draw up a letter of intent an/or petition and i will be happy to canvass for members in the PMB area.

the thing is we need Phumelela and GC to come to the party and support it if they are serious about local racing otherwise you might as well not waste time- They need to acknowledge that they are too far removed from their customers and embrace change(and acknowledge that they do not have any people in their midst that actually understand punters except for Maree, Mthembu and Shaw. Secret punters(shoppers) and the likes are needed - I know they read these posts so let's see if they are interested.
