    • Doomed, I think that many of us are well aware of the plan, unfortunately.  
    • The thing is that BOAY is a great public forum that allows anyone at all to express an opinion. I recognise that the ones that do post, do care about the future of harness racing in NZ. We make  comments about what is right and what  is not right as well as what should be done, all for the betterment of the harness industry so that it can continue to exist! What is very surprising and may be telling us something, is that there is no one that we know of from HRNZ, TAB/ Entain that comes on BOAY and defends their actions as to why they are doing this and  that? Surely this would be a great outlet to get it out there about why they are doing things and why they have changed thing, how great they  are going? I challenge them to come on and discuss things, however I  doubt they will because they know that what  we are saying is fact, and they agree with us, but are scared to rock the boat! Lets see if any will participate, would make for a good for discussion.  
    • everything about the experience of using a tab outlet these days,leaves you reminiscing about better times when customers were valued,instead of the current day experience where you feel you are an unwanted interuption to someones day or you are someone to be tracked or your investments are taken for granted and that they would much rather re direct you to on line services. Its like the gambling providers have often enabled the product to be eaten from the core . They focus on saving $,ignoring the long term consequences of their decisions. Better to cut services than provide better services that would maintain punter participation. so many dumb, short sighted decisions. It would take all night to list them. But examples are reducing pubs % of the turnovers,shutting down terminals in working mens clubs because the turnovers fall just below supposed acceptable levels,outlets not putting up the fields or even having a tv with the nz meeting on a screen,emplyees at these pub tabs that have no idea how to navigate the machines if your unsure of something,etc,etc,etc Cost cutting to increase short term returns but at the expense of long term returns. i've always maintained,and i'm sure i'm right when i say,once people change their habits and once they change how they spend their leisure dollar,whether it be betting onhorse racing or going to the pub or whatever,once you lose them ,they just find something else to do and are lost for good.
    • ...and owners wonder why training fees are so high at those stables.
    • The TAB never think about the flow on effects for many of their idiotic decisions. When you limit betting opportunities and shut down the potential for big payouts, you also kill the excitement and mystique that surrounds those rare, life-changing collects. The buzz disappears, fewer people talk about them, and the dream of landing a big win fades. That ripple effect doesn’t grow the game—it shrinks it.
