Few things;
I phoned up during the week and asked if they had wi-fi in the betting area. No, they didn't. I wanted to use my account to bet but couldn't. I had to use my phone instead which was annoying.
Secondly, beer prices, 8.50 for a Corona, 6.50 for Super Dry in a plastic cup.
Lastly, I had Rivers slides on my feet. I wasn't allowed to get in the Diva Lounge downstairs. Even though females were let in with two bits of cardboard on their feet.
So for the SAJC to move into the 21st century....
Free entry, free wi-fi, cheapen up the beer and drinks and encourage people to get back to the races!
Ill never go again as General Admin, Melbourne Cup day last year was a horrible day, full of made up useless, confusing rules.
It's all been bought up before to SAJC, they just don't give a shit. Spoke to an employee who has been there for years, offered ideas, they ignore them, or don't follow through with an idea. By the way, always have asked at Morphettville, what do you get for entry fee.
How do you know they don't follow through with the idea? For things to change you need people at the top to be on board, not just people in the middle. I totally agree with your sentiments about the industry but it really is a struggle to get things changed and this is from experience.
Pup, they answered my exact question about the same thing. They asked me to document my questions and concerns (in letter form - which is very circa 1990 but nevertheless), I will do it in due course and let you know.
