All of a sudden I'm getting ads when I read the pages here – is that the same for others? Sadly, it makes the site unusable. I don't want to be sold earwax removing tools or dodgy insurance, or be patronised by deceitful NHS commercials, when reading about Gary Anderson's latest success!
True enough. They've way overdone it though. I don't mind one ad per page, but there are dozens not to mention pop-ups. I hope they're reading these comments: Guys - you're ruining your site, which is a shame after all the hard work you've put in. If it's as bad as this for another day or so, I'm outta here.

- Beau also skipped Players Championships 7 & 8 next week, and PC 3 & 4 four weeks ago. If she next chooses to miss the Women's Series and PC 13 & 14 in mid-April then we can make a fair guess as to her reason.Scoobedybop13-03-2025

- Likewise, I have always been a fan of Mervyn and with this worry on his mind, it explains why his form and ranking plummeted. It is really sad to hear this, often chatted to Mervyn and Tracey during the Lakeside days, both are lovely people. It does seem naive not acknowledging the fact it was earnings, surely there must be others in the same situation. I really hope the Kings can get through this....would a go fund me be permittedrichieburnettrocks11-03-2025
