Tickets are out for this now which I've booked! Going to two quarter finals a semi final and the final
Takes place February next year so when does the money list start for this? Is it after the last Grand Prix or is it purely this seasons top earners?
Also thought we could use this thread to discuss the race for who qualifies closer to the time.

Great link, thanks PoolBoy! Didn't realise how many tournaments there were to look forward to before then and now.

I only just clocked the other day that it's in Preston. If it wasn't the week before I go to the Welsh Open, I'd be tempted to turn up too. I've never done The Guild Hall, the one venue left on my To Do List.
I'll expect a comprehensive review of your trip, sir.

Theres a fair few qualifiers coming up at the guild hall to look forward to as well.

True, true.
I think I'd rather do the final stages of an event though. I went to the Australian Open qualifiers in Crawley last year. Good day out, but there was only about four more people than there were tables. Feels like a waste of going to an iconic venue somehow, if it's just you watching on your lonesome.

Your live snooker attendance stripes were earned long ago and you continue to rise through the ranks, General Fan :)

Yeah qualifiers aren't worth a massive trek I'm just happy that Preston's getting a lot of snooker love at the moment! The Guild Hall is perfect for qualifiers as well, you can fit 8 tables in the space available and then they're surrounded by seats with a walkway on top so you can pick any table you want to watch.
Maybe you'd be more interested in Ronnie v Judd at the Guild Hall on Sunday?

Am I diseased. I am actually considering this. Preston one weekend, Cardiff the next. A lot of travelling, just to sit and watch snooker...

That's why I'm going Friday and Sunday.
Would have loved to go to both semis in one day, Ronnie or Ding will end up playing the Saturday and i'll be fuming.

Looking at the current draw, you'd have to say Selbo's favourite for this one - but don't expect the 'experts' here to pick that out.
I guess you have to PLAY the game to twig just how good Selbo is.

You've sprung out of nowhere and you have a one track mind. Very silly. Love it.

I don't know. Selbo is too busy evolving Snooker to the next level and mightn't be too focussed on winning this.
