any way to get into the 6max now or is that it fully full?


Fully full I"m afraid.  You"ll need to rely on someone to unreg or seat exchange to get in, and we won"t increase the capacity on that event as we are fully stretched with dealers etc on the Sunday.


Fully fully stretched?


23 x 9 Handed Main Event Tables

18 x 6 Handed Side Event Tables

So, pretty much fully fully fully stretched

Can someone confirm the location. Currently looking at nearby hotels and stuff but looks on google map to be in an industrial estate.

You are correct about the industrial estate bit.  No hotels within sensible walking distance, plenty of parking though.

If I register for the Omaha but make day 2 of the Main Event can I unregister?

If not will D2D be running any MTTs on the monday?


Yes, you will be able to unreg at the cash desk, or transfer your seat if it is sold out and you know someone who wants to play.

Apart from the Riverside Travelodge which is especially handy if you can get it for £19 a night

I think that is full isn"t it?

Also the Premier Inn and the Travel Inn next door to it

Probably about a 25 minute walk, but quite nice in the summer. Google maps has directions.

*disclaimer - normally JonMW"s assessment of what is walking distance should be taken with a pinch of salt :-)

Still trying to think of something amusing to write in this bit.

lol, true, I"ve walked from town before - the Riverside Travelodge is the only one which I"d say is definitely walking distance by any definition - I didn"t check whether it"s full though.

The Travelodge Woolaton might have room...it"s not walking distance but I think there are a few people staying there.

Otherwise, centre of Nottingham has oodles of options that are just a few quid by cab.

Ah I was thinking of the wrong travel lodge, yes Jon"s one is definitely walking distance (about 3 minutes away).

I will still be staying at the Premier Inn and probably walking to DTD most days. Intending to arrive at around 14:00 on Friday 26th August, checking in and then walking straight to DTD.

Less than three weeks to go you knows.

Bit longer than three minutes!  You cant walk direct across as the industrial estate is fenced off.  So cut through the retail park, along the road turn right at the big roundabout along the A52 and then over the walkway, Probably 15 mins walk at least.

lol, yes, when I stayed there - about 15 minutes is about right.

When I said walking distance by any definition I did forget those like Paulie who discount anything more than 3 steps away  ;)

Tried that, thought i had it booked but then disappeared from my basket and now declining payment  >:( . Same result with Riverside so Travelodge getting bumped now in favour of somewhere else. On the positive side, bought my seat for M.E. ....... how many sleeps?  ;D
