Does this mean that my Coral Triton is now an antique?  If so, its up for sale.. first person to paypal me $400 owns it... I'll even throw in shipping, fee of charge.  LOL

Definitely an interesting turn of events.  I always though competition was good for creativity and production.  I sure hope brunswick and storm don't decided to "merge"

This would kind of explain the HUGE closeout list of "EVERYTHING FOUND IN THE WAREHOUSE" last week!

Dude, I hope you have a good source on all the posts you have been making. Starting rumors is not nice. If you are wrong, you will look like a fool. Time will tell.

O.K., so if the phoenix is going to be made,  when and by whom?

  I know the first runs are done, but is the columbia plant going to continue production of them, or are all production facilities going to close and move to Kentucky?  And will all production stop until the move is done, or what?

This is horrible.  I personally hate Ebonite.  There coverstocks do last for crap.  I hate to say this but this very well may mean that I will never buy another Columbia or Track ball again.  Which suck cause I am not really crazy about Brunswick or Storm either.  I can't believe this happened.

I just read in one of the other forums that all the Track, Columbia, and Dynothane sales reps were let go also. Anyone know if this is true?

I was just told EVERYONE IS GONE AS OF APRIL 8th, and ALL STYAFF CONTRACTS ARE NULL AND VOID, as well as SALES REPS and TOUR REPS. Karma is funny!

Like I said in previous forum, I will not be sad either if they let Phil go. However, I hope they realize what an asset they have aquired in Billy Yinger!

Charles,

From what I was just told in an email from a reliable source, EVERYONE, "even down to the people that clean the restrooms" were let go.

Also, Billy Yinger left the tour 2 weeks ago!!!!
