Snooker World Championship

I don't think Hearn had any intention of moving the championships from Sheffield, he's not stupid and he knows how important having an iconic venue is to the game. it was a clever ploy to force the Council into upgrading the theater.

It makes sense all round, Sheffield Council isn't actually putting in the bulk of the money and its was overdue a revamp, and the capacity goes up, so more visitors, more revenue, more spending in the city.
It will be interesting to see where it goes in the hiatus year - maybe a bumper one for fans at the Sheffield Arena?

Judgement Day is on Youtube , apparently.

My day sorted, post ride.

Seems to be frequently buffering, usually a webpage refresh then brings up an advert and then streaming resumes ok for a while.

No problem here, though I am several hours in arrears. Playing at 1.25 speed maybe I will be in synch for the evening session.
If you still have problems, maybe lower the stream resolution.
At the start I noticed a few small skip backs hinting at initial technical problems.

I've been out of touch with snooker for the last few years. I'm glad this thread has reminded me that it starts on Saturday. It's about the only sport that I'm happy to watch for hours on end, if I've got nothing else important to do

I find/found the qualifiers more exciting than the Sheffield tournament, it having more meaning to many trying to qualify.
Then Eurosport subscriptions ended !

I might get the HDMI 4 in 1 out combiner out round one, and watch 2 matches at once, it originally purchased for Eurosport snooker.

Easy to see why it beats the World Championships for drama.
8 massive finals took place today.

Another 8 tomorrow.
