“A lot of the players have commented on this, including Stuart Bingham and World Champion Mark Williams who both posted on social media saying what a stunning place Cheltenham racecourse is.”
“The most important factor is how well snooker is supported by the local fans and we have been very pleased to see good crowds and a fantastic atmosphere throughout the week.”
