Wow, this is a hugely popular festival normally. Last nights £100 rebuy had 60 something runners, capacity 180+ which it normally fills every other year
We have reached saturation point, and the GUKPT has killed the standard Grosvenor festivals stone dead it seems

I understand that the GUKPT is where the attention and marketing budget is, but I wonder where Grosvenor see the future for their traditional festivals?
With the individual clubs being under a lot of pressure from head Office to keep costs down I am seeing very little marketing of the Masters and the Cracker.
I think its a great shame but inevitable when players have so many events to choose from, some with added value and more hype.

I don't think the other Grosvenor festivals will survive. The company do not seem to want them to. Still you can't blame them when they have the success that they currently have

I'm a bit worried that numbers will be low due to the main event not being at the weekend.

Blackpool's side events got stupidly good numbers so Walsall might come up a little short. |
