Speaking to a manager of another Rileys who was leaving as a result of the big bad bosses, who have no experience running clubs at all! Clueless businessmen just looking at figures and nothing else... Shame really

As a person who works in one of the other Pool Halls in Leicester, I can easily say that this is disgusting. I believe this table is right next to the bar, so the staff could easily see this going on, and did nothing to stop it.
The inconsideration shown is completely appalling, and something my club would never allow, especially if a customer specifically paid for the cloth on the table for their tournament practice.
It grates even more on my nerves, because Rileys is a members club, which means people have to pay in advance for the privilege of playing on their tables. Clearly this has made them complacent and believe that they can just ignore what their customers are doing.
I work in the only non-members pool hall in this city, and while we may not have the same quality as other members clubs, we take care of our tables, as well as the customers that come here. We don't even allow people to LEAN on our tables, let alone stand on them and pretend to drop a brick.
Rant over.

I nearly ranted when I saw the picture on facebook but i expect nothing less from this bunch of idiots. Please Phil Wildman take heed of what I was trying to put diplomatically, and move the comp away from any Leicester Rileys club. Qbar is being shut down anyways so please keep the comp in Leicester and support Rack n Roll. You dont get that level of bs and it is not a members club! EDIT have just ranted this is disgusting. Aslam paid good money for that table and thats how people treat it? Just goes to show what a joke Rileys is as an organisation and the two people concerned should be sacked!!!

That is the staff? *sigh* That is even worse. Especially after learning that it was Aslam's table which he paid for out of his own pocket. BFrench, I was trying not to name drop, and be professional, but you went and ruined that didn't you?

It seems to me like the pair of them need to unwrap the soap!
Hopefully this will catch up with them in the end Aslam...

Lmao only thing Rileys at Leicester have been taught is how to screw over the people who genuinely care about the state of pool in this country. And T9B was going to run an event there? I thank the idiots for letting this picture be posted so that Mr Wildman can see for himself what a disgrace this club is (or more precisely, the people working there are like!)

I'd love to say that in the picture in question, they are trying to do their best Earl Strickland impression, but sadly I dont think they would even know who he is as they are so ignorant towards pool.
