If we do go, it'll most likely be for semi's and/or possibly the final.

Yeah, probably won't be going to the World Championships anyway now, as i recently broke up with the boyfriend.

Instead I'll take a trip to Wales during the Welsh Open to visit my new boyfriend.

Trip to the World Championships is back on

Can't wait

Good news........Mercure St Pauls just booked

The Mercure is the one right beside the Winter Gardens? Yea?

Witz, you going opening weekend this year?

I dont know when to book a hotel because I dont know when Graeme will be playing.
Previously you could book as you knew what seed they were.

True that, the hotels will book out quickly as well.

couldnt he just crash at that flat he did when he won the WC

I am sure he will probably stay at the flat that he was in before. Dont know how big that flat was though. I always try to book a hotel for myself as near to the venue as I can possibly get but not knowing dates will make that difficult.

I dont think the flat is very big by the sounds of it. Do you stay in hotels with his dad at the tourneys?
Top bloke he is, recognises us from tournaments and always funny when he comes over for a quick blether during Graemes matches en route to heading out for his 100th fag of the day!
After the Welsh Open next month the WC seedings cut off takes place, so youll be able to book up then.

what the heck, it had to be done

thats me booked up for the first 4 days

Really should book my hotel soon

I haven't been to tournaments for a few years now due to ill health but before that i was near enough a constant at the venues. I will see what is happening with hotels after the welsh. I have been to many a venue with his dad though.

IBIS is coming up the cheapest. Probably not the best hotel though.

I've got the Premier Inn on the first stay. Looking at the Western Cutlers for the next one.

Booked

Got my flights booked, flying into Birmingham - BOOM!

That's where I usually stay but may go for Cutlers this year.

The first two nights Premier Inn was way cheaper than everything else and I figured I'd be out on the lash so just need somewhere to rest. The second one was only one night and I thought sod it, I'm staying somewhere nice that time. It was still £50 cheaper than the Mercure.

Friday 10am Gould v Robbo
Friday 2:30pm Ding v Allen
