SA Racing ONLINE

This petition serves to show why the powers that be treat us "onliners" with such contempt.

I am not having a go at the petition (signed it myself) BUT it just goes to show that we cant even reach 500 names in 24 hours. I believe this is why formgrids also gets no respect and support and other "online" ventures

there are just NOT enough racing punters ONLINE in SA

dont know what to make of SA racing online,,,

restarted our awstats on the 23rd

Mr A the boom is still happening in SA we will continue to grow and the Bandwith bill will continue to grow ,whats the point huh?

I tried to signed but needed to register

hibs i feel the same as you,, whats the point,,, however we are going to be charging in the near future and the free stuff will be very limited,,, this may help to cover costs,,

Easy i think there are many online punters but most are purely punters and will punt on any rubbish and have Zero interest in anything other than having a bet(the politics of racing has little bearing on them unless in affects a bet)- Much like Facebook friends - of the 500 or so perhaps only 50 are people you actually see once in a year.

@Mr H:

'many online punters but most are purely punters '

I have spoken to punters at the local TAB; they will be only too glad to sign but have no access to email or know nothing about ABC!

I am certain that if we consider them, we can add at least another 1 000-2 000.

When some here wins a race, trainer or owner, why not announce it in interview?

Sly the 2nd "sign" option only requires an email addy and a name

what petition? this may be the root of your problem - the communication through other channels about the petition online - where was this communicated? remember that onliners are online let's say 15 hours per day but that doesn't mean they read every post or publication website every day....if you want to broadcast a message effectively you have to really dig in and do it often, and in several places.

you also got to remember people cannie be arsed,like sly above

True Hibs, and probably worse now during the festive season...
can anyone elaborate about this petition - what where when, is it closed or can one still sign
