Punterslounge WSOP 2010 Thread - Newcastle Wins Vote

[morlspin]

Hi all Many of you have asked about the next PLWSOP event. Well im pleased to say the wheels are in motion and we are considering a number of options in which i need you guys to decide the outcome. Its basically a money over value situation and its not proving easy to sort out so we can get a balance. 2 venues are in discussions with us. Im gonna ask for thoughts and ideas over the next week or so to guage whats best for the forum and its players. Venues are: Coventry G Casino Newcastle G Casino The problem is: Newcastle should be a free venue as this was discussed a few weeks ago and with this means we have a lot of added value to add instead of paying for the casino etc Coventry will cost us money and therefore the added value is less. The added value im hoping to secure is as follows: GUKPT Seat for the ME Winner GUKPT Omaha Seat for the Omaha Winner Cash added for a further side event If we go with Coventry, we will lose the 2nd and 3rd added value but still hopefully have the gukpt seat available to use. Newcastle remains best value, but would players travel that far? It seems a long distance to come from the guys from the south of england, however its an hour on the plane from gatwick, southampton, bristol and exeter, also heathrow, cardiff and stanstead are all direct and should be no more than £60 return if booked in advance, throw into the mix that a train from the midlands, london and scotland will cost less than £35 return if booked in advance and is no more than 3hrs away Im also looking to secure hotels at a cheaper rate, i know this is possible in Newcastle, and will try in Coventry too but cannot guarantee. So......before we decide, I want a general consensus as to what the best option is and if theres anything else to consider etc, this is YOUR event, not mine, and it needs deliberating with everyone to accomodate us all! Thanks and I hope this thread is mega busy soon!

Re: Punterslounge WSOP 2010 Thread nice one Graeme, October is out for me as that clashes with the APAT weekend in Luton and i am committed to playing the Pro League in that one. as one of the people who probably has furthest to travel i would still favour Newcastle. obviously no joy with DTD then?
