Carlton to strip Richmond of Royal Oak Hotel & pokie revenue

[RollsRoyce]

You leave our Big Banana alone

Actually, I visited the big banana as a kid in the '70's. I slipped on the peel on the way out, and skidded about five miles

Out of "love" for Carlton

Tigers president Gary March this week told the Herald Sun his board felt no animosity towards the pokies baron over the decision that has wiped $300,000 a year from Richmond's books.

Does anyone know if the club has moved to get itself a new venue so it can replace the lost revenues?

Open a tabaret/tab/bar at the new aboriginal institute Punt Rd development, we'll make a killing

Youll get in trouble for that CUB.

But not a bad idea "Brother"

If I lived in Melbourne, I'd go down there with a few $2 coins coated in superglue to see if they were lucky

Its a great idea to build a big fkd up bar/tavern/bistro for all comers - there are 50 games of footy at the 'G each year and it would a serious pre and post game meeting point.

Remember the nightclub in to '80s before it was shut down due to under age drinking?

It was a monster!

Shell are opening up on the corner of Brunton Ave and Punt Road ramps

For a company to allow a minor business partner to take action, based solely on fulfilling that minor business partner's personal desires, that brings no benefit to that arm of the company, while potentially harming another arm of the business is just plain crazy, illogical and poor governance.

That is the point I'm trying to make.

If somehow the royal oak decision was geared towards increasing profits then I would agree with what you said. It is not though, a business decision.

I don't know if this helps but the JV means WW's run the off premise of all venue i.e bottle shops, drive thrus etc and Brucey Boy runs the on premise ie. Bistros, Bars, Pokies. WW's keep out of Bruces business and vice versa.
Hypothetically, we could pitch for and get the Dan Murphy business (WWs owned) off Carlton and do the same thing to the Blues as they have done to us.
But Dan's is run by a blue bagger (not Bruce) so that might be tough as well!!!

They already have one

It's a white elephant...you may have heard of it ...The Wantirna Club 

Seriously though.... I wouldn't think there are many options available. I don't think we bought any machines/licences when that auction type thing was on a few months

not may options, pfftttttt, there are licesnsed venues bought and sold ea week...there are any number of opportunities in hospitality that the tigers could cash in on and use themselves as the PR vehicle..Just takes a bit of enterprise, anything could be better than the WC, FFS, howzabout a few cafes,

I reckon becuase of the way the licenced venue market is now structured I can't see many being off loaded. those that are would be at a premium price .... I don't think in the short terms it's the answer

Certainly agree though that we need to look at other options though

hopefully they show a bit of foresight and invest in healthy cafes, a few of them would cost nothing, and rtreturn more than what is yielded from ther WC

Wantirna Club was always gonna be a white elephant. They should have just taken over a pub in the se suburbs rather than doing the WC development. The sooner it ends the better of the club will be. Its a fiasco!

Cafes are to hard to run IMHO (especially by FC's) and the returns wouldnt justify the time or investment made.
