The Rags' big dream for the world beating, 350k capacity stadium (which would not be bid enough) was all wrapped up in the casino bid wasn't it ?
And now this, we partner with the company who will bring massive investment to the NEC and the city, and they remain in the shit heap that is the sty.
You couldn't make it up !!

And we thieve their one of their most successful managers ever at the same time!

I don't like that casino at Star City. When I turned up at 3:30am on Sunday morning, they wouldn't let me in. There were some comments about having too much to drink and definitely heard something like "get out" or similar. Disappointing from a Genting company, no regard for their customers. It's their loss, I had 40 quid burning a hole in my pocket as well

Forthcoming attractions include, Gwen Dickey’s Rose Royce, the fabulous Boney M, comedian Bobby Davro, The New Drifters, The Grumblweeds, Hale and Pace, The Beijing Chinese Acrobats and stunning tributes to Nat King Cole and Shirley Bassey.

This is the best part. The Grumbleweeds! Fucking hell!

Any reason nobody has gone nuts about our new sponsor. I remember 32 red coming on board, and a good few, posting unhappy views about having a gambling related company on our shirt front.

The reported £8m a year would probably keep a few from moaning.

They could do a promotion so even if you turn up at 3:30am wearing your new genting Villa shirt you can get in!

If you'd gone in your 40 quid would have burnt a hole in your pocket and left you with nowt.

They have a social responsibilty to make a judgement on persons that may not be in control.

Its part of the Gambling Commissions policies in order for an establishment to keep its license.

I don't think we should, even if it is £8million. I drink regularly and gamble a little bit but I don't think these products should be advertised on football shirts. Do the kids sizes stll carry the sponsor name?

I thought it is against NFL rules as Randy owned a NFL team. How come we are allowed to do it.
