Dear god. Of all the things you can criticise the event for this is hardly top of the list, is it?
Feeling frivolous this evening as finished a big project at work last week, so shorter hours this week :)

More of an issue is how many tickets will they sell. It’s not yet on sale. Okay it’s a reasonable location in a town centre if you live in North West. Public transport to get there pretty good. Those living elsewhere in the country though, it’s a completely crap location.
No no no no the Fanatics moaned that Preston was difficult to get to, if i recall. So this will probably melt their minds.

Anyway, its alright, Lancashire darts will sell hundreds of tickets to its members just like they did last year. Stop laughing at the back, there!

It's better than nothing but it's a tough venue to get to.

The good news is that Rovers are away on 31st, so price it right, maybe do an offer for season ticket holders and you could fill it

If they do there will be a glut on the tickets.
I predict a riot.

When he says it's not like him to post like this, is he referring to the better than usual levels of literacy, of the lack of threats towards anyone disagreeing with him?

Do you think the players have been asked to push the event on social media as the likelihood is there will be hardly anyone there?

They realised that my lovely home town is the perfect place for the darts, what would you all like to know about the surrounding area.

We've a load of new restaurants next to the train station,which also houses the bus station and a brand new Premier Inn right across the road. Snack bars right across the road and loads of surrounding pubs. I actually expect a sell out.

I think they would like that. But hammer is obviously wanting to crack on with it.

Think need to know the number of sessions first. Inclined to think it will just be three very very long ones.
