  • UK Championship back to Preston next year?

    There is an article in the Lancashire Evening Post saying the Grand Prix might be held at the Guild Hall in Preston next year - http://www.lep.co.uk/news/Grand-Prix...urn.5865847.jp. It would be nice to see snooker back at the Guild Hall.

    This is great news that discussions are on the table !! Hopefully some agreement can be reached.

    Everyone wants it back in preston, the players, the fans, the town itself

    Seems like world snooker are finally waking up !!!!!!

      I've managed to change the title above my original post, but it still appears where you click the thread. Is there any way of changing it to Grand Prix?

        Say it's true! I'm not sure why they took snooker away from the Guild Hall in the first place...

          Guild Hall Preston = UK Championship
          Telford International Centre = Grand Prix.

          thats how it should be The Guild Hall is the home of the UK Championship.

                good but it should be

                guild hall preston=uk champs
                york barbican centre=grand prix

                and tbh the matsers should be held somewhere with more atmosphere, although wembley arena is pretty cool
                wooooooooo snookerrr

                  Are you honestly saying that Wembley Arena does not provide a good enough atmosphere?

                              york barbican centre acording to oneball2 from 606/Breakoff and the new Site snookerfanatic.com is a building site and nothing has been done to it since the last time snooker was played there.

                              anyone want to protest http://www.saveourbarbicanyork.org.uk/
