Accu-Stats Arena @ Sandcastle Billiards - Edison, NJ (Keep it Nearby!)

Just a FYI to all you guys this is Edy Hoadan's (i think) home room as you can see in the picture on top
 
I'd love to see AccuStats set up shop in Sandcastle. Thing is, the arena takes up a decent amount of space. Sandcastle would need to make some changes i.e. taking out the ping pong table and using the space in the back or, take out 4 tables or so. It's gonna take some thought.

Thank you PostFirst (nice name btw)!

Thank you AbsoluteCintron!

Thank you PoolMaster!

Thank you Mosconiac!

Thank you SwissChriss! Yes, Eddie Hodan DOES play here as well as Joe Frady and my regular house pro, Al Lapena. Many others have visited such as Hopkins several times, Seigel, Ginky, Eddie Abraham, Matt Krah and so forth.

Thank you Eric for your support! Here is my plan...

The ENTIRE back area of Sandcastle will be dedicated to AccuStats!
My full cue repair pro-shop will be moved into the front room. Both ping-pong tables will be moved out of there. That leaves more than plenty of space for everything. The main arena area will be 45 feet wide and 16 feet deep! On one end, there will be the commentators' booth and all the equipment, at the other end will be 3 levels of risers with seats on them for a VIP section. Along the back wall will be banners of all the supporters and sponsors of the events -maybe even another row of VIP seating as well - whatever works best. Of course a large Sandcastle Billiards logo will be centered on the wall! LOL :) Anyhow, along the outside barrier will be general area seating with the back half of the pool room dedicated for the events. That's 3,000 square feet or more even if neccessary!!! The high ceiling is perfect for all the overhead equipment and whatever else may need elevation. I have a deal with the Motel owner next door for special rates for all my customers during special events. My lot has ample parking spots. There is even the back door on one end that could be used for whatever special guests may be escorted in through, or whatever additional equipment may be brought through. I think you get the idea by now. I would LOVE to see the day where there could be ONLY POOL in the Sandcastle and thrive on that alone! Pool needs to be returned to its glory days and in a good light at that! I am dedicated to doing what's right for the sport and the players! I just hope others will do the same for the sport to give it life once again.

Thanks again everyone!

Mr. Sandmand sir, I'm going to assume by all these "will"'s you are more than excited by having the Accu-Stat's staff find a new home there. I don't see it being much of a negotiation between you and Pat. I'd be silly to say that I'm the only one that looks forward to that union. I grew up in Philly and lived in Clinton and Asbury and look forward to coming home to visit you and the new home of the Arena.

And I can get a chance to win a DVD on the gameshow. :):)

Hope all works out well, and if not, good luck to you sir. From what you've posted earlier your mind is exactly what we need to make this sport more mainstream than it is.

Good racks to all and to all a good night.

Agree. With Mr. Sandman's positive promotional attitude of our sport being the same as Pat's --> this would be a perfect arrangement. Two thumbs up for this win-win situation: :thumbup2::thumbup2:

Bob <Mattiefingaz, I took the liberty of correcting your game show DVD comment ;)>
 
I spoke to Scott yesterday. He still has an opening in his pool school starting Friday at the Sandcastle. This is a great program.
 
My wortkids had a great time with the game-shows and they can't wait to start playing in them again!:grin-square:

I will miss Bill Haley's Comet Billiards forever, but Sandcastle was already becoming my new home room (it's much closer to me than Comet) so I am thrilled that Pat and the Accu-Stats arena MAY be going there.
The Sandman, Eddie, has the right attitude and is very enthusiastic about doing whatever it takes to make it work and to promote the events and game-shows along with promoting our wonderful game. I hope it all works out and I'll see you at the Castle!

Mattie -

Thank you for your support. I have vowed to do what's RIGHT for pool by saving a pool room from closing and paying the bills from my day job to keep it open. We need POOL ROOMS open to keep our sport alive! If we allow these places I call, "kiddie clubs" with crazy loud music all the time and tables 3 feet apart packed in a bar or something that just happens to have pool tables, let pool become a secondary feature to whatever other entertainment they're offering, then all we WILL ever be is a side show. Where there is a WILL, there is a way! :)

Thank you for your support as well! We MUST keep our attitudes positive and be true to the sport at all times. Too many people just moan and complain all time and that negativity rubs off and just makes for a bad scene and ebbiance surrounding pool. Do we see golfers moping around on the course all the time or do they just smile and keep their dignity most the time? We must all be gentlemen and ladies and keep the sport in POSITIVE light no matter what.

I have a lot of ideas for online shows and challenges if and WHEN all works out well with Pat and I. That will spark a lot of intrest in a new young generation of players.

Thanks again!

Thank you so much for the kind words. You are a 2nd generation gentleman and a father of 3 fine young gentlemen. Seeing the three generations of you pool players is EXACTLY why I got into the business! You are all well mannered good people that I hope to collect and attract to the Sandcastle. That alone will bring pool into a more positive light and attract new blood. I will continue in my efforts to do right by pool and its enthusiasts.

Thanks Paul!

I was looking up Edison NJ to see if it were farther or closer to CT than Comet was. I found Middlesex County Edison and Sussex County Edison on mapquest. Which one are you? Thanks ...
