Well I can't fcukin believe they have done this, but to do it by email is absolutely fcukin disgusting!!

I'm going to get a proper explanation tomorrow, and if GP don't fulfil their commitments to the PL guys, then I will give them hell like they have never seen before.

I'm locking this thread now and would appreciate it you all leave it with me and not start another thread. Give me until tomorrow to sort it out please.

Fcuk Monday, Nick (CEO) has until Sunday 6pm to sort this mess out or serious bad publicity will begin and keep going until GP are dead as a dodo.

Just left a message on Victoria's voicemail saying all hell will break loose if he doesn't get it sorted by 6pm Monday, then I rang back and decided they have 24 hours less, so 6pm Sunday it is.

Victoria was on a train and will call me back, the phone cut out as she said that, but I think she was sufficiently aware of how serious I was by then.

Both Fenners & Burnley Joe should be taking legal action if they are not given what they were promised also.

6pm Sunday Mr Nick Fitt - Let's see what you can do.

Just spoke to Victoria and she gave me the standard bollox of "I can't tell you blah blah blah", so I said well you better go ring Nick and get him to call me or all hell will break loose at 6pm tomorrow and GP will very soon be as dead as a dodo.

Amazingly she replies with "I don't think it's fair for you to be saying this to an employee of GoalPoker"

Fcukin hilarious! I reply with "I don't give a shit, go get me Nick Fitt and let him know what's coming if he doesn't sort it".

I can see what she means. Some of us might lose a little money if GP go down, she (and some of her colleagues who we met in Ibiza) might be losing their jobs.

Fair enough but I wish they would tell us exactly why we are not going and although they have offered a seat at the JC torney they are nowhere near the same, although the VIP seat for that torney is $22K on the site?

No no... this is not about a little money...

This is about principle...

2 WSOP packages are being taken away... which means false advertisement!!

People who've won this planned their vacation accordingly... and took UNPAID leave...

This is a fcukin joke, and GP is simply taking the piss!!

Too bad if some of the employers will suffer from this... but a fraud company like this shouldn't get away with something like this easily!!!


If I was involved... I would take legal action right away!!!


So... it's far from "a little money"... it's so much more than that!!!

Well, I'm more interested in PL than GP employees, and if they can't take a little criticism, then they shouldn't be in the job. I actually got a phone call from another GP employee straight after, who will remain nameless. He said Victoria was in a flood of tears and started raising his voice to me, to which he got a VERY sharp and loud reply.

We then started talking more amicably and I told him I didn't raise my voice once to Victoria, no real man ever would, but I was blunt with her, the time for being polite has passed.

However, each time to both Victoria and the other person, I did say, you are not at fault here, Nick Fitt (CEO) is and that's who I want on the phone, I want his head and nobody else.

You're quite right Joe, I'm losing a few dollars, you're losing 1,000 times more than I'm losing. You are entitled to feel totally affronted by this. All I was trying to say is I also feel some sympathy for some rather nice people that I met in Ibiza.

Col, you haven't lost anything, just go withdraw now, I did a few mins ago.

If I can just say Col, you are getting emotionally involved and that's wrong. Sure you met some nice people, but if you ran PL, would you honestly say that and be nice about this whole situation? If so, you would be playing the wrong cards mate.

It's time to start showing them who the boss really is, and that is ALL OF US!

I reiterate, I want Nick Fitt's head and nobody else's but if it takes other heads to fall to get Burnley Joe and Fenner's dream back on, then so be it.

And that's the point Paul that I was inadequately trying to get at. It's Nick who you desperately want to get a hold of.

Pene - don't disagree with you at all.

My post was motivated by the fact that I've often been in work situations where somebody has berated me about something I have no responsibility for or authority to resolve. I'm therefore very sensitive to these situations.

I fear we are going to have many victims by the time this has played out, both from GP's customers and from GP's staff. I feel for them all.
