Is the Wheatsheaf on or off due to Parafield Gardens $1,000?

Postby Bob B » Tue Nov 18, 2008 11:44 pm

I haven't seen anything on the forum regarding the Wheatsheaf having a tourney tomorrow night or not seeing most of their punters will be at the PG $1,000.

So, I'm just asking Darren or Matt is there a game tomorrow at the Wheatsheaf?????????

I would say it will be on Bob.

Regular venues wouldnt be closing to another venue holding an event.

The only times venues would close would be because of state finals etc...

it doesn't seem to be listed on the NPL website though, which is a bit weird

Well it's not on Des.

There was a whole lot of talk about it not being on due the number of punters going to PG and the NPL up front costs with only 4 or 5 runners who aren't going to the Gardens wasn't financially practical.

I enjoy the company of a Wheatsheaf family member and even on an average night, it's a break even if your lucky syndrome.

Unfortunately, the NPL's upfront fee along with the per head fee is rather harsh for some of the smaller venues such as the Wheaty.

Apparently, they used to get around 50 to 60 runners when Dakota was running it. But due to someone complaining of his manner towards them he move on and so did his followers who like myself enjoy how Dakota TD's a venue.

So, apparently it only takes one sook, to boil the chook, that layed the golden egg, so to speak. :o Let's see what Grant can do to get it up and running.
