PTC Grand Finals for Galway ?

zack01 · 2011-12-23 08:41:05

I'm hearing a few rumours this morning that the PTC Grand Finals are heading to Ireland again next March, this time the location chosen is Galway. The venue is the 650 capacity Bailey Hall. Again it will be held over the St Patricks weekend, when I hear more i'll post it here.

What would Bailey Hall be like as a snooker venue? Hope it gets good media attention.

The Bailey Allen Hall is the old sports hall in NUI Galway as far as I know, not sure what the venue will be like, it used to be a big basket ball court but I presume they have refurbished it. I am excited to hear this news as I live in the west!!

Terrible dates. I'm torn between a weekend in Dublin or a Weekend in Galway to gander at the snooker.

Recieved a package to the club yesterday from the promoter with flyers and ticket info etc.
Just emailed him and as of this morning there are still plenty of tickets available for all sessions, the final itself is almost sold out though.

Does anyone know what day Ronnie is playing?

Can anyone recommend a hotel? Or know which hotel the players are staying in?

The draw has been already made and then the playing schedule will be released.

Ronnie is staying in the G Hotel.

Ken Dohery is playing an exhibition in Galway on the Friday night.
