why are cheltenham not allowing rdt to bring spare equipment on course ?

Hi foxy hope you are well. Since spare equipment will undoubtedly be required where will it be located ?

hello democrat

i am told in the car parks,it looks like rdt staff will have to carry batteries through crowds of upwards of 50,000.

I can see the negatives but not the positives in that.

The least Cheltenham can do is provide a secure storage area. There must be several given the size of the areas available.

Them betting shops might be available.

perhaps they dont wont to provide a secure storage area to help racecourse bookmakers.

Got nothing to do with 'racecourse bookmakers'.

It has a lot to do with FRB and one of the three Directors: and where you stand with that particular gentleman. If you send out an email to all RDT customers including your own correspondence with a particular FRB Director, whom I am led to believe tries to throw his diminutive weight around on the racecourse politics side and in particular over the Courtyard issue [I couldn't possibly comment not knowing the full facts], then I am hardly surprised at what has gone on.

Nothing to do with ALL, but by all accounts a lot to do with ONE- don't you think ?

Foxy, it might not be a done & dusted No so watch this space

If you are right quixall - I stress 'if' - is making RDT's job more difficult not a strange course of action ? Perhaps the racecourses are beginning to gain a better understanding of how bookmakers are represented and are far from impressed. Fewer, more representative bodies is the way forward.

QUIXALL,WHAT ABOUT"THE COURTYARD ISSUE"DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?????????????

RDT have a meeting with Cheltenham Friday, am told its a security issue, also if anything is left unatended it is liable to be removed by security staff

Even the Irish rings are powered and they are usually 30 years behind the times .
If the rings were powered then there would be no need for any batteries.

mincer

that was suggested last year but the racecourse brought costs into it.

the rails have power.

It couldn't cost too much, why doesn't the racecourse get it done and charge the bookies a small fee daily , or why doesn't the bookmakers body get it done and charge daily.
Why can the rails be powered yet not the rest of the ring, the answer I assume is because the big bookies are all on the rails and fukk the rest of them .

mincer the bookmakers body does not exist.

There must be some sort of a body to fight their corner surely.

no mincer everybody just looks after themselves ,even something like a till roll most would tell you they had no spare ones if you had run out,the first thing in there mind is if you cant take any bets they will be able to take more.very few of them would have been any use in the trenches.

That's not a surprise I suppose, but isn't there a southern and northern bookies associations , or at least there used be.

they do still have those associations but the one that makes all the decisions without any discussions has just 3 people in it,

they do still have those associations but the one that makes all the decisions without any discussions has just 3 people in it,

they do still have those associations but the one that makes all the decisions without any discussions has just 3 people in it,

looking in as an outsider mincer i bet you think thats pretty odd .

Yes it seems so .

AND WORSE STILL THE 3 THAT MAKE THE DECISIONS DONT LEND TILL ROLLS TO ANYONE

good card tomorrow

Points well made foxy ! All things being equal one would hope that evolution would bring about the urgent change that is required. Unfortunately revolution might be the only way forward since 'all things are NOT equal'. Unity and consensus is the only way.

'is' perhaps should be 'are'
