Theres talk of them moving away from Sheffield after the 50 years is up. It can only be a good thing for the game but hopefully it’s to a place where there will be foot fall and not just going for the money like the tournament that was in SA that was empty.
Moving to the ally pally could be a good option but you’d have to move the masters away from there.
Not sure if there any other venues, Hong Kong would be good but you’ve then got the difficulty of the time zones for the main (?) audience of the UK as China viewership will no doubt be more.
ronnie got paid a lot of money to lobby for saudi arabia and will open a snooker academy there, so he's been badmouthing the crucible
i am a huge fan of the snooker player o'sullivan and hope he gets his 8th, but this whole case doesnt sit well with me.
I'd rather play snooker in a country with dated accommodations than a country that is known for violating human rights
