QUOTE Ronnie O'Sullivan says having a crowd at the World Snooker Championship is an "unnecessary risk".
World Snooker says the Sheffield event will host a "reduced crowd" after discussions with government. Spectators will be asked to "follow a code of conduct" at the event, which begins in Sheffield on 31 July. But speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live about the idea of having a smaller crowd, O'Sullivan said: "You aren't really achieving anything." The five-time world champion added: "Having people there but not enough people doesn't look good. Either pack it out and say we don't actually care or just go 'we aren't having anyone'." The tournament has been chosen as one of a handful of events to stress-test the UK government's guidance on fans returning to elite sporting events after the coronavirus shutdown. World Snooker Tour chairman Barry Hearn said players who have commented that the tournament will not be the same without fans "will be thrilled". Fans have already been asked if they would like the chance to keep their ticket and those who responded stating they would will now be given a place among the crowd at the Crucible Theatre. |

I shall watch quite a lot of it. At least they will be proper matches with a decent number of frames.

QUOTE Snooker players are being treated like "lab rats" by allowing spectators into the Crucible Theatre for the World Championship, says Ronnie O'Sullivan.
The tournament, which begins on Friday, will be the first indoor sporting event with crowds, allowing around 300 supporters to attend each session. Qualifier Anthony Hamilton, who suffers from severe asthma, says it is "ridiculous" and "too early" for fans. Five-time world champion O'Sullivan said players "all run a bit of a risk". A number of sports have already returned behind closed doors but snooker will be the second government-backed pilot event after the Surrey v Middlesex friendly in cricket to be staged in front of fans. Those that have booked tickets to attend the Sheffield venue will be placed in 'bubbles' of up to four people - limited to a maximum of two households - and will be socially distanced from others in the arena. Temperature checks will not be in place and face masks must be worn around the venue but can be removed once seated inside. World number 48 Hamilton pulled out of the Tour Championship - the first event that was played on the sport's return - because of health concerns and called the decision to allow people to take off their masks in the auditorium "a mad thing". He added: "Let's say one person gets ill and dies from the Crucible, that is one person who has died for no reason, just for entertainment. "I won't be comfortable in there personally, I don't know why anybody would be comfortable, we all know it is airborne." |

And there it is, Judd Trump becomes the second player to make 100 centuries in a season. That is a great achievement. No emotion from him when he did it though.

It was a tough match for him, Tom Ford gave him a scare there. No Hazel Irvine presenting this year due to a family illness and wish her and the family all the best. No John Virgo commentating due to him being in Spain.
