Bestbetbazza 36 Report post Posted July 26, 2020 I was informed by local TAB yesterday it has been put back 1 week. If so a bit poor as they have long enough to have everything sorted. Not a good start. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan is quoted as saying it requires the support of RITA and the TAB ..... may take longer than you expect for them to get anything sorted...

They are just like Banks, a law unto themselves, and closing all over the joint, despite regulations in place saying they are obliged to comply with them Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WIth AMI closing/already closed in the Richmond Centre complex as well, I can't imagine that there will be too many people looking to move businesses into what has traditionally been a hard -to-let complex since its inception. I was told by someone in the know the lease on this premises is 'pricey' (higher than usual in that area) and that the original fit out (maybe 5 years ago) was gobsmackingly expensive. This store has suffered due to a lack of suitable parking (of more than 90 minutes duration) in the vicinity & the fact that there isn't a pub in the complex (only a liquor store). The staff did their best to make it successful but obviously it didn't pay its way. The remaining branch in NP is small and uninviting so if their pokie turnover there (which looks to an outsider to be reasonable) ever falls my guess is it will be for the 'chop' too.

TurnyTom 1,519 Report post Posted July 31, 2020 I guess that in 2 years there will be no retail outlets at all, just self service user machines at pubs and clubs. The time frame of 2 years is probably very generous Life as we once knew it is s changing forever Difficult to see racing surviving with the changes as folk will simply give it away like I am Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is unaccountable under law anywhere. Pushing people to do everything online is madness, soulless and not what humanity is about.
