Yes, but that doesn't mean you have to do it Snookerfan :P

Good man :)
Well, I'm still rather sceptical that a small venue which holds fewer than a thousand people is a great venue for the World Championship; but I also thought, to use a physics example, that photons of light could never behave like particles and waves at the same time and yet someone demonstrated that they do.
So I will go to the Crucible with an open mind and see for myself any "magic" it may hold.

Well, you must be right, if you're using physics.

It was better before they moved the Cue Zone into the Winter Gardens. It had more atmosphere of it when you had that big tent outside.

The crucible is great when you are in your seat . The atmosphere is brilliant
However the facilities are not good with the tiny snack stands etc ,

god i can feel how special the place is by watching on TV i dont really need to be there to sample the atmosphere moving to a bigger venue would rip the heart out of the championship.
