SA Footy

The Morphetville Betting Auditorium will close after next Wednesday Nov 14th.
Drop in patronage and turnover i believe to be the reasons.

Another stuff up by the SAJC and Ploubidis. More interested in Pokie Players than Punters.

thats very very interesting you mention that JJ

it was only in september that there were rumours that Steve wanted to open up another Betting Auditorium!!!!!!

well I might have to go down for the last day and pay my respects...

what will happen to the 2 bookies that currently reside there????

Would have thought MAL would have had an answer for us on that one by now.

Another Pokie Parlour more like it.

Cheaper to run
Makes more money
Poker machines don't get horse flu.

The counter will be closed
Seal still has a lease there for the rest of the year ?
He will still be there from what Ive heard
Punters can still have phone bets with Seal
Dunno about Thornton.

its a bit of a debacle

all the more reason to get giftbet account

JJ - i agree with you that the discussed auditorium would be a pokie parlour such as the one at cheltenham.

there are some pubs that have better betting facilities then the auditorium..........

Where do I start........


1. Poor managemnet and crap staff
2. Poor bookmakers
3. No incentive for punters
4. ..... Poor managemnet covers a lot of areas.....

The only reason I ever went there was with my laptop to utalise betfair.... the food was even crap!!!!

was crap ag ? still is & when i have gone there i've always made it a point to walk through the restaurant with my macca's on show to eat downstairs

well maybe curly could move his business not to cheltenham, angle park or the casino that has been mentioned but to the northern terriortory as a lot of victorian bookies have, where they dont have the same fees as down here & also then they can bet over the internet as i believe it is the tab that refuses them to do this at the moment

Perhaps common sense will prevail, & the Casino will house the Bookies.

depends on the new owners, the casino is currently on the market, as it isnt meeting profit expectations

Seriously, who will miss the joint ?
