Tony Bloom in Melbourne for the Poker (Aussie Millions)

[mreprice]

I just saw Tony Bloom in the Crown Casino in Melbourne playing poker (a $100,000 buy in event). The Aussie Millions doesn't finish until January 30 so with a bit of luck he will be here until then.

Could be a sign that he really doesn't plan to be active during the transfer window.

Electronic Banking is the way forward!!

Having said that Gus has been quoted as saying he is happy with the current squad and will only sign someone who brings something different to the team. Harley has decided to go elsewhere, so it could be a relatively quiet transfer window, with maybe a couple of players being sent out on loan, not forgetting Noone who joined us right at the start.

I might find out when its on and try and get a phto with him.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

You could ask him for a lift over for the first game, Tyrone.

TB is short stacked from the beginning but he does have more chips than Jesus.

Sorry, are we talking about the feeding of the 5000 here? I didn't know he produced chips as well as the loaves and fishes.

As long as he doesn't end up having to mortgage the stadium ... good luck to him.

His 148,000 chips were 450,000 earlier.

OK, I didn't realise that.
Whatever happens though, as has been said before, the most dreaded bid will be "I'll raise you the Amex".

I was referring to Chris "Jesus" Ferguson who only has 89k in chips.

Tony just knocked out Jesus. Gave me a thumbs up for the Seagulls shout!

Had a chat with Tony during one of the breaks. Great bloke - very friendly. Said he was in Melbourne for three weeks and would be keen to catch up with the Seagulls Downunder supporters club some time. I don't know how we arrange it, but I appreciated the thought!
