They finally got round to e-mailing me this week. Apparently there are no safety measures governing whether you can get into the Marshall Arena.

So I'm planning on attending the last session on 6th (semi) and both sessions of the final on 7th. Grabbing a cheap hotel room on the Sat night and discovering the bright lights of MK.
Anyone else going to hook up with for a few beers and some food on the Sat night? Anyone recommend any decent pubs/eateries in MK.
I'll be rooting for Hendry (showing my age), Devlin (something different to boost snooker) and Evans (wouldn't that be a story if she could grab a win? I know it is unlikely I'll see them on single table setup next weekend but will be supporting them on the box.

As I may have mentioned once or twice, I was thinking of going. But am now not sadly. Would've been cool to grab a beer, but hey ho.

Remember that time that Wild compared playing in Milton Keynes to the atrocities of the internment camps?

I still can't believe he did that.
Have you ever heard of any other professional sportsman turning up to the wrong venue, let alone the wrong town?

I'd love to be wrong.

From the pictures that I saw, MK didn't look very busy. Maybe I should've gone up early in the week. Could've seen Ding.
Hey ho. I think I made the right call.

Buck Milton Keynes, you should be aiming to attend the World Grand Prix final afternoon session in Coventry instead

There was that time Federer thought he was going to the Austrian open.

Not this rubbish again!
It’s also Monday morning to be fair, no doubt it’ll pick up as the week goes on.

I'm guessing the main Eurosport coverage will go with Trump-Selt, but all the other matches should be available on the Eurosport Player.

Don’t forget to review your Revolving Cues team and swap one or both players out if you think you need to. I’ve added a list of every current player’s team:
viewtopic.php?f=69&t=11319&start=60If you aren’t playing yet you’re more than welcome to join! The only difference is you won’t be allowed to pick a wildcard since tournaments have already been completed.

Yeah, but he's playing Pagett. There's about as much chance as Leo Fernandez beating him 6-5 from 5-0 d... Oh, hang on...
