Fat Fordham got one so anything is possible.
Clearly not based on ability or merit.

Randall is not with it

Winmau have a big say in the wildcards

Maybe they are but their criteria clearly isn't merit or ability if they are inviting Fordham.

It's always been the way

Used to be loads of Dutchman people haven't heard of and never seen again. Its not like that now

Weather forecasts and News dont eat into the coverage anymore.

Prize Money is crap but its a great event

It's all about the calorie count, plenty of contenders across both the amateur and professional ranks
