Hey David...here's a novel idea.
[How about putting some people on to tour around your 2800 retail outlets and 260 racing venues, get them in their Company Cars & driving around visiting all those TAB's, PubTAB's, ClubTAB's & race tracks....making sure that they pin the God damned Harness Form to their boards on a regular basis?
Somehow VVV I don't see it as the TAB has a problem if the harness form isn't displayed at their outlets, but harness racing sure does.
Harness might have the bigger issue but TAB still should care as well.Quote:

Instead they come up with that half arsed Flying K crap & similar in an attempt to offset the deficit that they themselves helped to create and to perpetuate, a deficit created by them in fact doing 4/5ths of sweet FA insofar as ensuring their '2800 retail outlets and 260 racing venues' actually go to the trouble of pinning the day's Harness Racing Form to their boards/walls.
Putting the Form up is a fair chance to assist Turnover fellas...wouldn't you think?
&%$# me. It isn't Rocket Science.
I've said it before and I'll now say it again and I'll keep on saying it until these clowns get it through their evidently very thick skulls....
If I had a dollar for every time I've walked into a NSW TAB, PubTAB or ClubTAB and been unable to find the day's Harness Racing Form...I would have collected enough that I'd now be living in Monaco, next door to Mick Doohan.
But please, by all means fellas...colour code and standardise your Logos and then Crow about it as though it actually means something, as though it's a signpost on the road to salvation.
Fair dinkum, where are burning torches and pitchforks brigade when we need them the most?
Much as I get no joy from admitting it...gotta agree with the triple drible here, I have seen the same thing, everywhere I go in NSW, "TAB outlets" in pubs and clubs, no bloody fields, and IF they are there, you have to be a well trained grave robber to find them.....where would expect turnover to go?? bloody south thats where!
I'm absolutely certain the TAB "marketing" people will have a well rehearsed response for this blaming the outlet personnel/management, but hey? where does the buck stop and when you see this time and time again... I fronted one bloke at a club about the fields, his response was that the fields were not forwarded to him and if he wanted to supply fields for the local punters he had to photocopy the fields from the morning paper!
People should be given rockets when they deserve them....in this case IMO the TAB has required to take this on board for quite a while and thus far no action!
Turbo pineapple with a "triple" twist required.
Of old mate David's much vaunted 2800 retail outlets...I'd bet that less than 20% of them regularly download and display ALL the Harness Racing Form for every single TAB meeting.
Makes you wonder how in blue blazes do they expect Punters to bet on Harness Racing sans the Form???????
Maybe the TAB are hoping that some passing Tradies dropped in to the Club or Pub for lunch & left their Daily Telegraph behind?
