Away from the Crucible build-up, a brief story about the 2012 Premier League as it has now seemingly been confirmed that the finals of the tournament will be staged at the Grimsby Auditorium, away from its recent home at the Potters Leisure Resort in Norfolk…
While I have not seen the news officially confirmed on the World Snooker website, having booked at the venue in the past, I regularly receive the newsletter for the Grimsby Auditorium highlighting upcoming events and in the Summer 2012 booklet is an advert for the Premier League, confirming that both the semi-finals and final will be staged between 24-25 November 2012.
Having attended the Premier League action at the venue since 2006, I can say first-hand that the evenings staged there are always very well-supported and though I have never been to Potters, I don’t think that there will be too many complaints at the change.
