No crowds I assume. At least it will give the players a break from MK.

Why on earth is it shown on BBC Wales and not 1 or 2

[Cue crafty]

cracking venue!! The players will probably feel like they are on holiday there!! I guess any change would be good from playing again in MK, but this is hopefully a step up in comfort and facilities etc.

I am assuming the facilities will be available to the players anyway and they wont be holed up like in Cell block H!!

I wonder if this change has got anything to do with the PDC (Darts) Masters being held at the Marshall areana MK from, 29 - 31 January, then the PDC Q-school following on from 8-17 Febuary, at the same venue.

Think it is a complete venue ,so once your in your in and it will be easy to monitor players and tech crew etc .I don’t think the Crucible will go ahead in April unless things change quite a lot before then ,it would be a nightmare with testing ,moving from venue to hotel ,even though it is only a 100 yards or so away it’s still in the middle of a busy city .
