    • The thing about all those changes,is once you lose your audience you won't get them back. recognition of achievemnents from your peers,most of whom may not have been ardent racing fans,but were aware the sport you were participating in  was significant in nz culture,used to be a rewarding part of the package that was delivered when you had success. everyone who used to get a win knew people they knew  or were related to, could have listened on the radio,read about it in the paper and seen it on free to air tv. within a few years, a couple of decades ago,that all disappeared. Strangely often driven by tab leadership decisions whose  only focus seemed to be the bottom line.  If your going to make decisions based on profit and loss,and a significant factor in that is turnover,then shouldn't you factor in what drives turnover.. I've used the example of pub tab's previously .Many of whom used to provide excellent service and coverage of racing. The tab's decision to reduce the % of their take from turnover,was met with dismay and anger from pub tab operators around the country.Many media articles were written illustrating that.They felt they were just being taken for granted and expected to provide a service and pay wages while getting very little in return. I can tell you,in the area where i lived ,when the melbourne cup and nz trotting cup were run in november,they were very big days at the two main tab's/pubs. The pubs really promoted them and the pub's were packed and the people dressed up and were still going home after midnight. then,not only was media coverage and exposure in radio and tv and the print media being reduced,the tab cut the %,so the pub's ,i guess partly also as  a show of defiance simply put no resources into promoting those days. Within 2-3 years the numbers attending were reduced by 3/4 and people were home by 7p.m. and the gambling that used to go on for hours diminished. but it wasn't just those days that it impacted,it also was eroding racing from the psyche of new zealanders. I've always said,people badly underestimate the value of maintaining racing in the psyche of the nz public and they still do.But,hey,no one can ever put a definitive $ amount on that, so no one will ever be able to quantify the significance of it and thus no one implements policies that reverse something that they don't realsie is of such significance. anyways,what i do know for sdure is if i have a bet and i'm somewhere,i know can't listen to it on the car radio as i drive,the wife puts it on her phone but its often freezing anyway. So really i  mostly don't bother betting until i get home. and from my experirience of going to pub tab's in tha last year or so,those with a terminal have no one to serve you as they just seem occupied cleaning or gazing into space around the corner,so i gave up going there. They didn't even have the fields up for the nz meeting on their wall and a tv that only showed one race at a time from that nz meeting. so i decided to use the local pub with the machine and wasn't sure about how to fill in one form so asked the lady behind the pub(i was the only one in the pub at that time),she said she didn't know but got her supervisor who said,don't ask me i don't gamble. you know i went back into that pub tab for the first time last week to deposit some money in an account. It took about 3 minutes to deposit 4 notes as it kept rejecting a couple of the notes. eventually it accepted them. The tab clearly have had no interest in providing good service for many years now and there vision is to get as many on line as possible.
