Snooker World Championship
Discussion
Come on Bazza.
It is unlikely snooker will ever have a dominant player again for 2 reasons. The first is that the standard has risen and any of the top players can beat other top players when they are on form and the second is the changes to the schedule. The new system is likely to cause 'top' players to lose more because they have to play more.

On the topic of snooker 'dying' - do you think there needs to be more televised events on free TV?
I am a fan but a 'part timer' in that I only watch the Masters, UK and Worlds. Although that is 4 weeks of content a year.
I think it wouldn't be as interesting if snooker was available all the time. As a viewer you need to invest a lot of time and watching 10 hour matches constantly wouldn't really be feasible. The tournaments feel special and TBH I don't really think much about all the stuff that happens in the interim - not least because it mainly happens abroad.
They could shorten the game but then it wouldn't be snooker would it and fewer frames means you don;t really find out who the best is.

Seems that the remark about the schoolfees was true. Apparently paying lawyers to keep an golddigging ex at bay is rather expensive:

Virgo should buy a decent pair of glasses, so he could have seen that the white was not going in the centre pocket. Instead he decided to shout 'where's the cue ball going' at deafening sound levels. Gets a bit annoying, yes. If Hendry were not sitting beside him, I'd be watching Eurosport right now.
