Nice one Greg.

And a warning...BOTH the 100-ers WILL sell out. Don't say you were not warned! No good turning up at 8pm on the night, you will NOT get a seat.

45 min clock for the 250 would be nice

What's the criteria for the freezeout ending on day one? when final table is reached or 5.30 am?

Nice one Greg.




Not meaning to sound negative guys, but how will they prevent black-marketeering ?

It was mentioned that it happened last time pre-booking was available.

It DOES have an Airport, East Midlands Airport is maybe 10 miles from the centre of Nottingham.

Lap Dancing Clubs? No idea. But it has plenty of Darby & Joan Clubs......

But there are plenty of lads in Notts who know where "those sorta places" are located.

And I know the Notts lads would make you very welcome.

East Midlands Airport is very close to Nottingham (15-20 minutes from the casino). I'm sure there's probably a "gentlemans" club in Nottingham (I know of one, but it's in a very dodgy area). There is one in Derby city centre, which isn't that far away.

And what exactly is a "gentlemans club"?........

I've lived close to Nottingham & Derby for 25 years, but I ant ever seen such a thing. Is it like a Book Club?

why is there so many event on the 1 weekend?

southmapton 500 freezeout (and my brother lives down there and i have promised i'll visit for first time in 8 years)
P4C ok its in the gutshot which isnt the best place for me but its P4C
nottingham 2 day well priced freezeout and after i have donated my chips the chance of some ladies dancing


if i had a 3 sided coin it would help me decide

Yeah, it's tricky, eh?

Poker 425 are hoping, subject to approval from Rank Group, Grosvenor, & Blue Square.com, to cover Southampton on the Sunday, if so, I shall be there.

But I will come in to Notts on the Monday whatever happens, to watch the Final, Thewy, Greg, Rob, Nik, Lucky Jim, Malc, Barry, Slo-Mo & co all say they are nailed on for that baby. May even do Live Updates, if there is enough (well, ANY!....) interest. And it's quite possible that Poker 425 will cover the Notts Final too, but that's still in negotiation.

Ironside, I willl be happy to escort you to the local lapdancing club, I believe it's called Oscar's.

Just to make sure no harm comes to you, and to buy you the drink that I owe you !

And if Ralph is gonna take you to a Lap Dancing Club in Notts it will be a PROPER job. Not like, hehe, Blackpool.

Sadly, it's starting to look unlikely that Poker 425 will be covering the 250 at Notts, but it's not for want of trying. Gala are being impossibly difficult about it, & it seems they don't really want the TV exposure, which seems bizarre, but there it is. It would have been a dream to get Gala Notts TV Coverage, especially after I have "larged them up" so much & so often, but we can do no more than we have. Very sad.

what is wrong with people? same thing with the main event winner in vienna, tv exposure is the holy grail for players and venues alike
