Following the collapse of a joint agreement previously agreed to by members involving Max Delmege and Scott Penn, it is now the turn of Penn Sport to dangle the dollars in a single bid for ownership. </font></font></span></p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial"><font size="3"></font></span></p><span style="font-family: Arial" /><font size="3" /><font color="#000000" />

Excellent post MB and thanks for sharing - are you going to the meeting tonight?

Thanks MB. Excellent analysis and you include a lot of info not readily available from the media.

The Leagues Club board is fairly culpable in this as the rot obviously set in a long time ago. On the positive side, we are not in such a deep hole as that reported for Parramatta.

What is essential is that licensed clubs are redesigned so that there are revenue sources that are based on more than pokies and also that they are customer friendly. Non-smoking laws are here to stay so venues need ambience, attractions, atmosphere and good service etc so that people use the place all year around. Renovation and restyling could be a useful thing if the right people are involved.
