World Grand Prix 3-9 Oct 2021 Leicester

[ChrisW]

Rumour has it will move from Dublin venue to Leicester.

[Little Lonely Garry]

welcome to last years rumours

[malcy93]

Haven’t they struggled to sell tickets for this for years ? Given the venue isn’t actually in Dublin but some where outside the city so not even easy for locals to get to especially if you want to have a drink so shouldn’t be driving.

With Covid they may think safer to just not schedule it there. The Irish Government still don’t seem to be letting people into outdoor sports events let alone indoor ones. The Dublin Euro football games got moved to Wembley and elsewhere as no crowds in Dublin which UEFA wouldn’t accept.

Plus they have recently introduced compulsory quarantine for U.K. arrivals given the risk of people from here bringing the Delta variant.

Butbutbut "double in in Dublin" is so catchy

[Rout]

How about "Take ten points off the averages in Leicester'?

[massive]

Avg do not matter, R, it's family and unity

[BlueSpark]

It’s about time they moved it from that shite venue anyway.

No more "Dublin". Oh dear, what a shame, never mind.

[Black Velvet]

"So-called Dublin"

Always felt England needs more major darts tournaments.

Always felt England needs more major darts tournaments.

It's a bit of an oddball tournament so maybe they can start moving it around. Really make it the World Grand Prix.

[Little Lonely Garry]

Not until the 3rd of October, but the next "Major"


Hunchback defending £110k
Chizzy, is defending a runner up spot of £50k
Durrant and Dobey defending £25k.....








ok thanks

[Little Lonely Garry]

with another eurotour to go durrants spot not assured in the top 16

As said earlier with him defending a semi he cannot afford to miss this event

[malcy93]

Very unlikely Durrant doesn’t make the Grand Prix.
I think the only players who could knock him out with ET2 results are Whitlock and King and they would both need to win it.
Only others in touch on the OOM who could have done it Gurney and White aren’t qualified.

Durrant could get lucky at the Grand Prix as well as only top 8 seeded so he could get a lucky draw.

if he play like he has in recent months I would fancy whoever he draws

[The Ferryman]

Glen will bounce back, the tournament needs players like him.
