I nearly bought tickets to the Ronnie match, my Spanish card wouldn't work, gave up. Good job!

Yes I had a ticket for the Masters, even though I prefer multi-table events. So far no news on refunds, but I expect that will come soon.
From what Barry has said, it looks like there will be no spectators at events for the remainder of the season, except possibly in the Crucible theatre. That means another 4 months of the Marshall arena.

I'm not holding out much hope for The Crucible in 2022, let alone the next one.

I just saw this.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/snooker/55527534I don't know why they didn't announce this before. They decided weeks ago there was going to be no fans there. And the tournaments immediately after are all going to be in MK anyway. Seemed a lot of effort to move everything to the Ally Pally for a one off.

Olympics about to move to Milton Keynes.
I don't know the situation in Qatar, MK must prepare hosting the Fifa WC.

I found some secret toilets last year, that it seems not many people know exist the Ally Pally. So now I can nip in and out in the mid-session with no queue.

This is far more concerning than the event being held in Milton Keynes is.

Yep, second biggest tournament on the calendar being sponsor-less is a big cause for concern.
World Snooker have enough money to cover prize funds this season but you’d think someone with Hearn’s business acumen would be able to find a sponsor for the Masters of all tournaments.

Dafabet. Obviously betting companies have taken a big hit over the last year and it’s highlighted snooker’s over-reliance on them. Something that World Snooker have apparently been aware of for a while but seemingly unable to rectify.

Why have they taken a big hit?
Surely we have little else to do but watch snooker, and gamble?
