ian.ski309:
I have to say that I"m very happy with most of the chosen venues, especially Manchester :) but what happened to DTD ? Did they not want us this time or was it an APAT decision not to go there ?

Europe?
Do you mean that there is no event on the Continent this season?
If so, the feedback APAT received was that, in general, the UK player base weren"t enthusiastic about that and that it was a "jolly" for the die-hards only. APAT has obviously taken that on board which is not to say that APAT doesn"t still intend to be in Europe.
You never know...
Wales
I"m sure that APAT were acutely aware that the decision to hold the Welsh championsihip in Bristol might raise a few eyebrows but, as has been said before, the current venues in Wales just aren"t able (or willing) to meet APAT's needs.
The venues available are just too small and/or can"t service APAT properly over the two days to a standard that would be acceptable.
The Welsh aren"t complaining...:)
Ireland
I think you are wrong but time will tell. I"m confident that APAT made a pretty informed decision about the whole thing. If they really thought no-one would turn out for it...they wouldn"t put it on.
Stratford
Completely agree....Aspers earned it and with, I hope, the schedule being available 6 months in advance it will give us a chance to see what agreements (if any) we can come to with local establishments in terms of keeping the cost down.

Frankly, I don"t know the full answer to that.
I have heard that APAT is an expensive proposition for DTD to put on which may have been a driver towards a certain reluctance on their part when they could put on their own events at a higher buy-in value over a major holiday period.
You can"t blame them for that.
Also, Aspers did such a bang up job last time they do seem to have pulled out all the stops for Season 8
A 10 day festival! That"s unprecedented in the UK, I think....
HERBIEHACKIT:
is it safe to assume the home nations and euro team games will be played on thurs and fri prior to main events or have they been dropped.
gone through my shift pattern up to end of jan.
welsh off and playing
eng working not playing
uk off thurs working fri sat and sund. not playing main event. will swap a shift if team game on and picked for scot.
uk team game off but unlikely to play
ire off but not playing.
