Will they go with one less or another associate member ?
Next down the list from the challenge tour OOM I would assume.
No replacements, if players withdraw there will be BYEs.
Rather silly given the notice they will get..

Surely that only counts if he withdraws after the confirmed list.

Hes not going to be there so he could just tell them now.

Was told at the weekend that a 4 birth chalet at minehead is £980 for the weekend. Most hotels in the area are fully booked & cheapest is £100 a night if u can get 1. Was gonna go to Sheffield & Liverpool qualifiers. But think I will pass on that.

Hotel not covered by the sponsor? I think that’s pretty poor. No one who comes through the qualifiers should be out of pocket IMO

The PDC made no official statement about Cadby being unable to play in the Worlds until the draw was made so I would imagine it's the same case here

Riley’s are giving £100 towards exp. which would just about cover the cost of diesel for me. Remember when it was at Bolton a mate of mine qualified when it was speedy hire. They paid hotel petrol the lot. For the whole weekend . I do think Riley’s should give you more.

So about 80 quid a night each then. Hardly breaking the bank.

I've also found a B&B in the town on Laterooms.com for £80 a night as well, without the need to share a chalet with anyone. Breakfast included.

Which is fine if u have sorted out with pals to share. But say u qualifier from Liverpool in the 24th gives u a week to find 3 people who have got the money. Who can take time of work at short notice. Still gonna cost u best part of £500 for the weekend

Don’t think butlins lets people stay off site

Sure Riley’s used to cover accommodation, did Ian say something when he qualified the other year. Can’t really blame them now when they are close to going under

With what Rileys make on entries and over the bar for each qualifier, Giving only £100 towards expenses is a farce, They probably take on average near a grand per qualifier on entries alone.

How much have Riley's made out of you Dave over the years with your entries for this ?
