Pro event ftw - none of these accommodation hassles. Plus I"m confident I"ll be home for Match of the Day.

You may be able to enter on the day as an alternate but, at the moment, AFAIK it is sold out.

There MIGHT still be a few seats available but that"s just a rumour at the moment.

I"ve just talked to the manager of the ICON hotel and she confirmed that they have no problems and no guests are getting moved to other hotels.


FWIW...I"m seeing rates of between £29 and £39 per night for Friday & Saturday at the ICON through Hotels.com

There will be a few seats available on the day from 12 noon, failing that, then there"s an alternates list.

Come and find one of us from 12 noon and we will see what we can do for you.

I paid for a BOGOF offer through last minute which worked out at roughly equivalent to that price. I"ll reserve judgement until I"ve actually stayed there - but it looks like quite a nice hotel.

driving home FTW!!  cheaper, less hassle, less chance of being moved to a new location, less chance of being flooded out!!

Sleeping bag and change of clothes in the boot just in case......

Can"t have a drink.... but hey that might help the poker!

And best of all, probably home in time for X-factor! (hmmmm perhaps a good reason to book a hotel after all then)

xfactor.......  hotel looks better....... you never no you mite make day 2......if you do let me no how it feels......cos i aint had that feeling YET.....maybe someday............. tell you better half 2 back mary

No idea but he obviously doesnt have a clue what is going on. The woman I spoke to said the flood happened on Monday and they are clearing the rooms up one by one but still a few out of order.

Not had a call yet Ger?  :D PS if the number starts 01582 dont answer it LOL

Clearly I"m psychic...I managed to leave my phone at home this morning. ;D

That said, I am thinking of switching to the Icon...swings/roundabouts.

Are you sure they managed to find you a new room and they"re not just letting you put up with the one they were going to move you out of?

I suspect Ger talked to some clerk who made the mistake of using their initiative to avoid the potential of a guest cancelling, my guess anyway.
