SAM Leisure has introduced a  practical solution to what might be seen as a dearth of new pool tables caused by the licensed trade's pub and club closures. Admittedly people talk about warehouses crammed with tables taken off-site from shutdown pubs, etc., but sometimes the operator finding a new site finds also that its owner wants a new table at what might be roughly termed a used price. SAM can consider any reasonable requests, said Barrett, with its new Infinity mechanical table built to meet the needs of a market from which rents and table income are currently being squeezed.
