what a joke event

Witz78 wrote:what a joke event

WHY ?

I pleaded with Ganley at the Crucible to produce a Scottish tournament and this half hearted attempt is all he delivers.

Date - Directly after a Major (the UK) and directly before Xmas, means it didnt stand a chance Crowds will be dire due to this, plus then fact the top players arent turning up or giving two hoots so it doesnt stand a chance, its nothing more than a token gesture putting this event on, on Scottish soil to appease people up in arms at the lack of a proper ranker.

Venue - Picked for no other reason than its dirt cheap and its hander for players who are driving up the M6 / M74 as its the first place they come to. A central Glasgow location would have been better off than this place as a lot of people could have walked to it or got public transport, its literally in the middle of nowhere on an Industrial Estate, ive already warned SMM and SMF that the nearest pub other than the pathetic boozer in the venue, is 3 miles away. And if they really want a decent night they better abandon their duties and head 20 miles into Glasgow with me and the troops.

Words will be exchanged with Ganley tomorrow, of that i can assure yous

They make that mistake all the time. the venue being remote that is. Couple that with freezing cold weather and projected Gale force winds from tomorrow and I'll be surprised if many attend at all. A central Glasgow location would have made much much more sense.
Robertson, Carter, Selby etc have withdrawn and I would not be surprised if more do the same. This isn't even a half hearted effort. You give them too much credit Witz.

i agree with some points there however isn't it what people want the ability to pick and chose which tournaments to play in so if that's the case withdrawals should be a integral part of the PTC.

But going to scotland in winter really was a blunder.

btw its not mike ganleys fault he runs a tournament where there is a tournament.

Brandon parker he is the guy at the heart of the European tour events.

Exactly, im sure they could have found a venue somewhere that would have been reasonable value and fitted the bill somewhere in Glasgow where theres a massive catchment area.

And i doubt anyone other than diehard snooker fans will even know of this tournaments existence. If it had had remotely any promotion and been at a far more central venue, then things would have been far better.

It says it all that the tickets were on sale for months and i only just bought mine a week or so ago and my ticket number tomorrow is number 13 Dont all rush at once

Id hardly say going to Scotland in winters a blunder.

There here to play snooker, not sunbathe, plus if the event was played in the supposed warmer months, then less folk would prob want to sit inside watching snooker

In that case having the UK in York was a blunder too cos it was bloody cold there too

why dont they go to australia where theres summer now?

kolompar wrote:why dont they go to australia where theres summer now?

no better off waiting to the Aussie winter plus going to some tinpot town in the middle of nowhere but sticking MELBOURNE banners all over the arena to fool folk.

Brazil the biggest joke ever, taking it so some posh exclusive beach hotel in the middle of nowhere, when there was demand for it in Sao Paulo.
