LOL, is there anything you won't defend?
what woudl you do instead?
Butlins have said no more guests to come in , what would you do now....
Butlins wanted to cancel and Hearn was furious. Told them where to go; event was still happening and if they wanted to turn guests away it was up to them. Not the PDC's doing; this is entirely down to the venue.

can't it's "unsafe".

Due to the unprecedented extreme weather conditions, we have regretfully decided to not allow guests to attend this weekend’s PDC Coral UK Open at our resort in Minehead, Somerset, for safety reasons – however, the tournament will take place behind closed doors and be broadcast on ITV4 as scheduled.

Its nobodys fault but the weather. Pure and simple. In this day age of blame and claim its no surprise.
If fans are turned away and Butlins don't back down this could have serious reprecussions for the future location of two PDC majors. Just my opinion. Absolute disgrace of Butlins trying to pull the plug at this late stage.

Hardly a disgrace from Butlins, safety is paramount and what about people going from the venue to their accommodation at night time??
Don't you think the PDC should have done the sensible thing and postponed the event as they did last night??

Insurance, pure and simple. Butlins have made a decision across both their 'big weekend' events.
People can jump up and down all they like about it being a 'farce' but what would you do in teh same situation?

We have also decided to cancel our 90’s Reloaded weekend at our resort in Skegness, Lincolnshire, for the same safety reasons.
Guests already on our resort can be assured that their accommodation will be available to them until it is safe to travel home. Any guests who have not started their journey for either of these breaks are urged NOT to do so. If you are already en route, please be aware that our Minehead and Skegness resorts cannot accept any more guests, so we would ask you to turn around and head home when it is safe to do so.
Our Soul Weekender at our Bognor Regis resort is continuing as planned.
We will post a further update here with regard to rebooking and refunds shortly – however, please bear with us.
Thank you so much for your understanding.
