Where is Burnham when it comes to defending our Club? I know it’s two different matters but he can’t hide his excitement at the Rag project. What’s the odds the Super Casino plan next to the Etihad that was scrapped by the Government will be resurrected and built next to the Toilet.

Think our owners should build a new Horse Race Venue in East Manchester, complete with American style training facilities and offer up fixtures with decent prize money and apply to take on BHB graded races, something that’s been missing from the area since Manchester racecourse closed in 1963.

And name the racecourse "the Rock of Gibraltar"

I realise the question was more of a speculative argument to make a point as opposed to a serious question but I will answer it anyway. Absolutely none! I work in the gambling industry and we are seen as the scourge of society preying on the weak and vulnerable, as such the only legislation that has any chance of succeeding is that which looks to reduce gambling.

I used to work in the gambling industry and lost my fucking job cos they pulled the plug on it. The American company I worked for said fuck this for a game of soldiers and withdraw.
 
These cunts better not get a single penny from tax payers. Fucking leeches.
If this happens in any capacity at all,then it needs calling out big time,absolutely no way should they be getting any type of public funding for any project at old Trafford,the sheer audacity of even thinking about it in the first place is disgraceful,but certain clubs I get the feeling they feel there’s nothing wrong with this,and it is the up to the tax payers to rightly pay,just like spurs where looking government assistance during COVID they are fucking chancers the lot of them ..

I worked in the gambling industry for nearly 30 years from 1980 - 2009, William Hill, SIS and Alphameric but I’ve been out of it for 15 years now so I’ll take your more recent understanding of it.

When I left the industry the biggest problem was FOB machines that could be played for £100 a spin ion the roulette, the government were pressured into reducing it to £2 a spin. They said it was to reduce problem gambling but a contributory factor was criminals were using the machines for money laundering. There was a William Hill ship in Penrith turning over £80k per week, no way was that legitimate cash.

Casinos seem to be less vilified that those “horrible bookmaker” and I think are still operating in most large towns and Cities, however the online versions are really dangerous and the adverts for them on TV are omnipresent.
