Some great hotels and venues in Glasgow plus lots to do and a fantatsic hospitality awaits you.  Not to mention an International Airport with many airline carriers coming in daily. [ This message was edited by: devil on 2007-06-20 13:22 ]

naaahhhh mate....... Blackpool is the place. The Hilton or the norbreck castle is the venue.......hilton is better but may get a better deal at the Norbreck! Million things to do and a great night life! Blackpool airport is expanding all the time and also just in case there is Manchester and Liverpool for airport access! Listen, why do you think they hold the English pool World championships here each year and keep coming back? Nuff said! -----------------

RICOH Arena in Coventry
Purpose built exhibition hall, designed with hosting major snooker events in mind.
Only 1/4 mile from M6, 15 motorway mins from M1, mainline railway station, coventry airport, only 30 mins from birmingham airport.
Other facilities at ricoh arena include hotel accomodation, and one of the biggest casinos permitted in UK.
Proved its televised pool capabilities by hosting the pub pool challenge finals last year.
Centre of UK, home of the mighty Sky Blue Army

All major events should be close to International airports for overseas player's travelling IMO and would definitely help player entries.

What some of you guys are forgetting here is the costs to hold events at "exhibition halls" etc etc.......The 2 places i have mentioned in BLACKPOOL will do a very inviting deal.....of that i have no doubt! Specially when i have a word.......hahahahahahaha! -----------------

How many entrants do you think the UK would get if a Euro Tour was held here?
How many do the host nation normally get?
