Nice work. I can't see what's different though apart from the sign at the top. Maybe it'll be like last year where it was the same as the year before but with minor modifications that you got used to within 5 minutes of walking into the building.

R-ron some nice piccies there - even a glimpse of the Novotel.
I have to say that I like the area close to the Crucible - its always seems quite clean and with those ball thingies and fountains its very pleasant.

literally seconds away, you could be having a drink at say 9.50 am and be sat in your Crucible seat by 10am (and you could have a toilet stop on the way).

You wouldn't mistake it for The Crucible if you didn't know where you are though, would you? The word CRUCIBLE written across it isn't exactly understated.
