Snooker tournament organiser denies refusing to pay overtime charges; Kai Tak Sports Park declines comment
桌球賽主辦方否認拒支付加時費 啟德體育園稱不回應
The six-day World Grand Prix snooker tournament ended yesterday, but the controversy over spectators being asked to leave before a match had finished on the first day remains unresolved. Fong Huen-huen, president of the organising company, told the media that it had not refused to pay overtime charges, saying it had informed Kai Tak Sports Park last year that it was willing to pay the event’s overtime charges, but the park had never given a clear response. Kai Tak Sports Park said in response to media enquiries that it would not comment.
一連六日的世界格蘭披治桌球大獎賽昨日結束，惟首日「未完場便趕觀眾走」的爭議未解決。主辦方公司總裁封歡歡接受傳媒訪問，否認因涉及拒絕支付加時費用，稱去年已向啟德體育園表明，願意支付賽事的加時費用，但對方一直沒有明確回覆。啟德體育園在回覆傳媒查詢時，就表示不作回覆。
