    Alan, it may be a case of tikay1 was added just to get the tourny in the lobby, he'll probably get unregistered later.

    Hi

    having already qualified for Newcastle is it possible to qualify again & give one of the seats away ?

    the reason I ask is I know they allow this on laddies, I have a mate who would love to go but is working away allot,

    Apparently this isnt a discussion thread about SPT!

    My question answered on another thread SEVEN days after I asked it on here. I might aswell go and have discussions and ask questions to this....

    Apologies Alan, but I never visit this thread, & rarely visit this Board, due to time pressures, and I leave SPT(Tighty) to field questions unless he specifically asks me too, which he did yesterday on the Alternates thread. 

    I'm not sure why you seem to be so cross about it, if I'd been made aware of it, I would have replied to it, as you well know.

    In answer, (though your Post is ambigiously worded, it's half question, half statement)....

    Yes, I've been asked/requested/instructed/invited to play Newcastle SPT. Not sure if I will, though. Probably 75/25 that I will.

    Yes, Team TSP will all be invited to play it. No announcement on that has yet been made, as the make up of TSP for January-March has not yet been confirmed. It also remains to be seen whether Channel 865 can release LML that weekend. Hopefully, yes, she wlll be there, but it's not yet 100%. So there remains some fluidity in the plans at this stage, but yes, all being well, all of TSP, whoever they may be, with the caveats mentioned above as to LML, will be invited to play. 

    Trevor Harris WILL be playing it, too.

    I hope that answers your Post fully, & once again, I'm sorry for any misunderstanding.

    I assumed "cross" because of what seemed to me to be the biting sarcasm in your Post.

    May I enquire why you are disillusioned?

    I'm sorry, I though it was a rhetorical observation rather than something I needed to answer, as you probably knew the answer!

    Well I never saw it Alan, as I already explained. It did not seem exactly time precious, either. If you ever have an urgent question, feel free to use the "Ask tikay" Thread, or PM me.

    TSP (Tighty) suggested it was rhetorical, & to be fair, it was somewhat ambigiously worded. You said (my italics).......

    "....The 32 (so far) qualifiers for SPT, leg two @ Newcastle. I thought all TSP will be given seats again anyway? Just an observation!...dont want to start a war......"

    Your replies to my posts seem to be getting more and more condescending but I did quite clearly put a (?) in my script which would indicate a question to me. The question has however now been answered so thank you, once again.

    As a foot note though, I would genuinely like to see ALL the presenters/analysts playing in the SPT legs and added on as extras to the field. I know this would not be logistically possible but would add some thing else to all the players experience for the day.  I have stated many times that I am 110 % behind TSP, but I did feel that there was a slight over exposure of the team at the Blackpool Leg. I know others feel the same way but will not say anything for fear of getting slated.....which I will no doubt get now!

    It's a tough ask, as you note, to get more of the "Talent" (sadly, that is the colloquial term for front-of-camera peeps, even me!) at the SPT Legs.

    Rich Milner & Attila have to juggle the Talent Roster, as Channel 865 go to air every Saturday & Sunday, so it's a bit awkward. All of the Talent DO play the SPT Events, but not all at the same time, & that is just not do-able given that the 865 Team is now far smaller than it was when we went to air 7 nights per week.

    If indeed I do play Newcy, it will be my first one, but that's just because I have other & existing SPT responsibilities. I must add that Rich Milner has been pressing me very hard to play a few SPT Events, which I find rather flattering to be honest.

    Too much TSP exposure? Possibly. We'll look to try to keep a good balance in future. It is the view of the Business - right or wrong - that it's a good thing to give them decent coverage. It's just finding the right balance, & pleasing everyone, that's the hard bit. 

    I'm sorry you find my replies condescending, they are 100% not intended to be. I do struggle to find the right way to deal with your questions sometimes. I just want to be polite, & do my bit to try to keep this Community a place which is fun to visit, I don't have any agendas whatsoever outside of that. 

    I really was shocked that you should say, at first, "it's just an observation, I don't want a war", followed by that rather sarcastic picture of "talking to a brick wall", & being "disillusioned" by it. How on earth did "pop" get to "bang" so quickly?

    It's just a poker forum to me, Alan, & it's quite outside my understanding how such obvious angst can be caused by such minor issues.

    I really don't know what else to say, to be honest, I think you are seeing things that are not there. We shall never know. I think the line between "polite" & "condescending" is quite fine. The former is extremely important to me. I get a fair few vitriolic & sarcastic Posts to reply to across the Community as a whole, but of course I cannot & would never reply in kind, so I am at a disadvantage when it comes to that sort of thing, I just have to suffer it. You are not happy when you don't get a reply, & when I do reply, you believe it to be condescending. I'm a bit lost for an answer to that, to be honest.
