Why is going to Gloucester great?

World Snooker has this week announced that all of next season's UK PTCs will be held at the South West Snooker Academy in Gloucester.

This has been greeted with universal cheer.

The decision to see all four of the events here is a no-brainer.

Here's why Gloucester is such a great venue:

• The venue allows spectators making the event feel more like a proper tournament
• The main table is a first class set-up
• It's run by great snooker people
• The facilities easily beat those at Sheffield
• There are more tables
• World Snooker earn money from the venue to stage then event.

Bravo to World Snooker. It's a great move.
