every few weeks it seems a cost cutting excercise takes place ensuring lower turnovers. The casual punter admittedly of an older age group used to have his fav. TAB to place bets or when travelling could always find 1. Now many areas have no tab or 1 where there were several before. (most replaced into noisy drinking clubs with slow or no service. and sometimes members only! Now the trusty racebooks are being removed from all retail outlets and not printed till friday meaning many races not covered and only preaching to the converted to those who actually can find a tab. Now the teletext has proved too costly to maintain so bang thats gone too. . maybe they could work out a pay per view Trackside. (I shouldnt joke because the accountants are so stupid they may do it ) I suppose its too much too ask that boxseat goes all year. no cut it save money reduce turnover !!! If Michael is too tired after a few months talking to Purdons he could easily be replaced with alot of smarter people. (not hard excercise) we really need someone to stand up and say enough is enough or it will be a very small cake to divide up for all codes.
