That said, I did watch a snooker exhibition between Jimmy White and John Virgo there in the late 90s underneath one of the stands. It was the middle of winter and it was absolutely bucking freezing.

The Welsh Open is back at The Celtic Manor golf course next season too, I think. But that has about three hotels on site, so I guess that's why it's there. Though I was a bit offended when I saw the prices to those. Several hundred pound a night, some of them.

Dave Hendon was recommending that travelling fans use the nearby Holiday Inn.
