who is going to get the super casino?

[presto]

apart from the fact i can't spell :splapme
it's between blackpool and the dome for me. - come on pie muncher - mess up the dome's bid, so i can get a nearby supercasino :)

[HiArt99]

the dome - it's a fix anyway, it was part of the deal to sell the dome, the rest is all window dressing. God forbid something north of watford gets this.

I've a host of other conspiracy theories too

[markwales]

I have no idea why they don't allow all 7 to get one :doh

Although surely it has to be between Blackpool and The Dome.

I'd prefer the dome, as it's easy for me to get to, but then again, Blackpool would be good as I wouldn't have the temptation to go to it !!!

[bigcumba]

Looks like everyone so far is of a similar opinion - Blackpool vs the Dome... I think Blackpool should get it, but it seems pretty certain it'll be the Dome....

[Win2Win]

Blackpool is Smackhead Central, and no better than inner city Manchester.

The fact the goverment has already shown it's siding towards the dome.....and work has already started building it :doh.....says a lot!!!

To be honest, I think it would be best being built near the NEC in Birmingham, as it's central for the country, and easy motorway access, and plenty of open land for parking, as well as keeping it away built up areas.

You have to look at it this way....look down the main street in Las Vegas.....unbelievable.....then imagine our super casino in central London where no one wants to go (especially North of the M25) , built under something that resembles a womans giant sperm blocker.....oh yer.....go baby!!!

[Workshy]

Do bright lights/colours mean alot when it comes to what casino you want to visit Keith? :D

[presto]

birmingham already have the biggest casino in the UK 'star city' - so i don't see why they would need another one.

i just can't understand why they just don't buld 2 super casino's. i mean blackpool and greenwich are at opposite sides of the country, and the re-generation would help both out a lot.

I know.....makes you wonder how they all survive in Las Vegas :rolleyes:

[presto]

does anyone know when they are going to make a decision on this?

31st December, officially......:yikes:

[presto]

bringing back the thread,

betfair odd's: (politics)
blackpool 1.57 - 1.98
greenwich 2.42 - 2.78

i know betting odd's mean nothing, but greenwich did look the big odd's on fav, but now that has changed to blackpool :wiggle:

[Win2Win]

Blackpool is smackhead central......the Dome is a joke/dump.....it should be cited near the NEC in birmingham. That way it's central for England, and easy to get too via motorways.

....................... hang on havn't we already had this conversation :)
- the crime / unemployment / smack head central, is one reason why blackpool want it, the lack of jobs (especially off season) to help re-generate the town and cut such problems, as without it it would just be a downward spiral.

[Win2Win]

Blackppol already have casino's.....so does London....Liverpool....Manchester....but the new one is different. It's a nice building (rules out the dome)....Las Vegas style.

The tories turned down the fact the government wanted 8 of them, and only allowed 1.........because of the gambling problems......wasn't it the Tories who started the lottery for 16 year olds? :doh

[Nick777]

The company I work for was looking to bid in the UK.

If my memory serves me, the Dome is definately a NO NO. Birmingham/Sheffield have a familiar ring for some reason.

I think I'll have a little LAY on the dome and a little Back on Sheffield.

:wink

[Win2Win]

I think I'll have a little LAY on the dome

Could be a bit slippy up there this weather :splapme

[Onlyforfun]

You've obviously never been on the M6 then....:laugh

Also to call the Dome a dump and then advocate Birmingham as an alternative....:geek

I'm with Presto, lets have 3, one in London, one in Blackpool and one in Glasgow.

[Win2Win]

No one goes to Blackpool....it's a dinosaur lost in the past, and is not as easy to get to as most other places.

So the dome area is better than the area around the NEC? :doh Somehow don't think so!

[presto]

the announcement will be made next week i think - then hopefully the bulldozers will move in on 'coral island'. :)

[mathare]

So all the talk was Blackpool v London with Glasgow throwing in a late claim. And it goes to Manchester :splapme

[vegyjones]

Disgraceful!

[presto]

that's a discrace.
manchester is receiving huge ammounts of re-generation already, even views from the north west says that manchester dosn't need it. ;fire ;fire - i just can't beleive that decision, a huge mistake.

[presto]

:doh :doh :doh
come on now - if your going to vote on this - after the result is known, you could atleast vote for the one that won :rolleyes:

[Win2Win]

As I said months ago, Blackpool is now Smackhead capital of the North, and the Dome....is....well......utter pathetic crap...in an area that is full of bloody Southerners :D

At least in Manchester I can take more money off those poor folk in the slums :laugh

[presto]

manchesters bid could be overturned today if voted against in parliment, i hope they make the right decision and vote against it.

[Win2Win]

Screwed by 3 votes by the old folk who still think it's the height of fun to sit in a deck chair in the rain on Blackpool Beach watching the turds float past :ermmm

They'll twist a few arms, and vote again......Manchester will still get it.
