Most of the Sky Poker crew will go up on Friday, though I'm not sure I wanna be up too late on Friday night, as Saturday will be an 18 hour stint. But if you really twisted my arm, I might come out to play some cash on the Friday night, after playing the Online Deepies.

Other Casinos - there's one in Stockport, but that's about it really. Stick to the G, the Boys will all be there, should be pretty neat.

 Yes im going to come up the night before. Dont fancy getting up at 6.30am to get everything ready and (hopefully) still be up at 12. Looked on the site apparently it is a £10 buyin with 1 add on/rebuy .. Amazingly it seems to start at 9pm???? Either going to be a very late finish or very fast blinds (either that or they dont get many runners)

I'm local so just going Saturday morning. They have even very kindly moved Huddersfield Town's first round FA Cup match to the Friday evening so it won't clash...looking forward to it!

It'll be a very late finish.

Well done Hoggers! About time too.

Fingers crossed for SkiCowboys & DrMarbles, both of whom are on a bit of a bad run right now. Still, perseverance in the face of adversity, & all that, keep at it lads.

He did? Wow, I'm thrilled to hear that.

He's a top bloke, a genuine Poker World Amateur Champion (HORSE), & what's more, he dresses worse than you. Arguably.

Pleased Dr Marbles has made it. I believe his brother is playing too, the brother that CAN play.

Triva tidbit, I beat Dr Marbles at Scrabble at the weekend.  Furthermore, i only required the help of three people to do so.

Although I'm relatively new to Sky Poker and being on the forums (a lot of you guys clearly know each other being regulars on here and previous SPTs I imagine). I don't know SkiCowboys but I just wanted to second the support for him as he was one of the seat winners on my very first satellite to a semi (we both got knocked out of that semi early-ish i believe) and I've noticed he has kept at it to no avail.  C'mon Ski!!!!!

mabsue

yes just want to add my congrats to the rest and best wishes to Ski and my good lady tonight shes running hot live (won again last night Tk ) so lets hope it continues on line PS SO DID I LOL WE SHARED  IT with a friend of ours 3 way split at 2.30am

Ive been out of the country and busy working recently and just noticed that there is a SKY Poker Tour in Manchester. I would very much like to play in this as its very local for me.

If I do not qualify for it, is there any way (as a Sky Poker player) that I can buy into the event?

Also will there be Sit n Gos there on that night for the knocked out and other players?

FlashFlush

No you can't buyin. but there are satelites to it everyday so still plenty of time to get in. GL

 Yes sit n go's start as soon as enough/a presenter is out

DrMarbles

Yes, indeed, the rumours are true - I will be in Manchester.

And it only took me a mere 13 goes as well.
