It’s pretty hard to be a problem gambler in this day & age.

How do you guys expect the club to giver up 19M in income just to seem like a nice club.

When our income streams can make up that money, im sure we will do it.

Club cant win, we give up the pokies and go into debt again.

Be realistic.

People are gonna gamble. People smoke. People do things they shouldnt be doing.

It’s up to each person to take care of themselves.

We are a footy club needing to make money to compete. It’s that simple at the moment.

Right now I don't think there is a major sporting competition in the world that would survive without gambling revenue.

If the pokies doesn't fit well with respects. Maybe we should ditch respects.

Need money from somewhere

Facts.

Perhaps the pearl-clutches could turn their attention to, I don’t know, the actual flower slavery that props up Emirates.

Na, not allowed to criticise them. People will call you names.

I very much doubt anyone with knowledge of current events would defend the UAE, but perhaps we can stick to the topic and leave the petty name calling to the TalkingShit mob
