    Being played at Butlins, Minehead. Fans are on the camp, booked in for the whole weekend but are not being allowed into the Playing areas unless they are official guests of the players left in the competition. Players who have been knocked out are not allowed back in either. 900 fans on camp stuck in caravans with no heating or water. H&S gone mad!

    Hahahaha how is it Health and Safety gone mad ? the main arena is basically a big tent and theirs a few ton of snow on the roof of it, arena two is too small to get everyone in, so no one is allowed in. It’s a sensible decision.

    Was watching last night was very strange, they still made the players do the walk on routine and had music etc

    I go to a music festival at minehead every November and it was quite good as I’ve never seen it sober!! :)

    How is it safe for the players and their families but not the public? Doesn’t make any sense yo me.

    Room two is a smaller room, it’s brick and mortar, so it’s totally safe in that respect, but it’s not big enough to house all ticket holders, so the PDC had no choice but to make it friends and family only.

    Should never have moved the month or venue of the event. Not been the same since.
