World Snooker Championship

Exactly.
The likes of Barry Hearn would tear down Westminster Abbey and replace it with a stripclub if there's money to be earned.

Is nothing sacred though?

Also, it remains to be seen how popular this sport will be when Ronnie retires. Don't see a lot of charismatic youngsters coming trough the ranks.

“I don’t just turn up willy-nilly to events, there’s a tax to be paid. If people are prepared to pay it, I’ll get my cue out of my case. If they’re not, I’m content to never ever play again, and move on and do other stuff.”

Fair play to Jones. He's a world no. 40 odd so it's some achievement to put in a performance like that

Comes across as a pretty likeable fella as well

his frames sometimes lasted 2 hours - It will kill snooker .....

Glad Drago is alright, turns out he just over balanced in his seat trying to rest his cue. Initially I thought he'd fainted. Saw the funny side.

Apparently, he was a bit miffed because he started late and just wanted to get it over with. That's the best way to do it.

Kamikaze snooker. Imagine he'd had two feet instead of two arms and played football instead.

He’d have never made a 5 minute 147 with his feet mate
