[Safc]

I'm a bit suprised Lice and MVG aren't Saturday and Sunday

[DeepFriedRat]

My one's better

[The Ginge Reaper]

I'm a bit suprised Lice and MVG aren't Saturday and Sunday

First level thinking there.

If ticket sales for those days are already excellent, why shove your big names in them?

[Suspect Device]

Sky have done it again.

Lisa plays 1st match of the night
Beau plays 2nd match of the night
Fallon plays 3rd match of the night

I wonder which match will have the mongs most largered up?

All 3 will no doubt be happy with their scheduled time slots. Lisa won't mind being on 1st, Beau will step into the unknown, and Fallon will absolutely thrive on the atmosphere.

Let's hope she copes ok with the booing.
Rapid throws that fast the crowd won't have time to build up any booing momentum.

Bring it on! Good luck ladies. Not forgetting
Boisterous Bobbi

[The Thorn]

To be fair at least the Rodent game should be alright on day 1

Looking forward to seeing young Grant play

[TheMalteseDart]

Mansell is going to beat Wright on day 1

Fallon getting booed is optimistic thinking.
Edit: sorry misread. I still think it's unlikely the crowd will be that braindead to boo Ricky.

[The Thorn]

Mansell is going to beat Wright on day 1

I will suck cock if you're right

[TheMalteseDart]

Mansell is going to beat Wright on day 1

I will suck cock if you're right

I don’t see it as completely mental, Jo is back in hospital again, Wrights head is all over the place, though Robb is a potential tough international qualifier on his day for Mansell

Robb winning both is my dream

[DeepFriedRat]

This is the first year ever that MVG doesn't have his 'own' session as the only top 32 player

[Rogg]

So the morning games:

Martin Lukeman v Nobuhiro Yamamoto (R1)
Madars Razma v Prakash Jiwa (R1)

Yes.

[Safc]

Madars Razma v Prakash Jiwa (R1)

Yes.

I will still watch them I plan to watch every match again like I have the last 2 year.

[tungsten tossers]

Fallon and Barney in the same session

How will SKY cope..... Mardle will shoot his load

[Dfc180]

Yep I'm the same. You never know who might be involved in a classic.

I'm looking forward to seeing Jiwa I've never seen him play before

[The Thorn]

The worlds is all about folks like Jiwa and Yamamoto.

[Rogg]

Round 1 is arguably the best bit? The average should be around the 88 mark and if you can't cope with that you know what to do!!!
