I have totally enjoyed my trips to Sheffield, always memorable - never dull.

There is much more to it than sitting in your seat like a statue.

The whole experience is not mythical. You are robbing yourself of so much if all you do is turn up watch snooker then go home. There are people to meet and chat and have a laugh with.

There are things like chilling out in the bookies / bar, there are chance meetings with pros, there are decent hotels to relax in.

I think a lot of folk that I speak to view it as a holiday with some quality snooker to see too.

A nice getaway, a break from the norm.
Live snooker at the Crucible - no better place to watch it
Atmosphere is or around the bar and bookies
Meeting up with fellow snooker nuts and members of the forum
Having a lot of drink and heading out in Sheffield which is a very nice City!

When I go to watch live I see all the frames can I like to chat with other people sitting around me between frames even if that is you know who, but mostly I just like to watch snooker. The main reason I haven't been to Sheffield yet is because I could only afford to go for a couple of days and would be missing a quite a few matches travelling there and back.

Smart wrote:final post on this from me......

without fans there is no sport, if fans buy a ticket they can choose to watch 1% or 100% of the action - its their call.

Witx for example supports snooker more than anyone on this site, with s/fan a close second. They both visit venues all over the country and are true supporters.

Buying livesnooker.net does not beat or come close to spending the time and money by going to the venue.

Yeah, that's the one. Quite nice. And quite cheap. But the price is variable depending when you go in. If you got in post-5:30pm, it's a couple of quid extra. I've hurried out of The Crucible a couple of times when a session has finished at 5:25pm.

What about the others ? Anyway I hope that Williams and Dott will be in good form, as I don't expect to much from Walden and Hawkins.

Any chance of getting an autograph from Ronnie? I heard that most of the players sign autographs and take photos with fans, but I don't know about Ronnie, because I imagine everybody wants a photo with him.
