ROLL CALL

Postby Smart

It might be early I hear you say, you must be mad I hear you say.

Anyway, the season tickets allocations have been sent out (complete with price rise, as is now standard). I am going Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday - FIRST WEEK.

So folks your job, in time honoured tradition, is to copy and paste so that we have a full suite of all those attending the Crucible from the Island.

ps I was watching some Shanghai snooker footage I taped and on the adverts for the Brazilian Masters was a gent in a SnookerIsland t-shirt with glasses and not much hair....................... rofl :chuckle: :chuckle:

Smart: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday - FIRST WEEK

would sooner go then, see all the players, soak up the atmosphere, have a good time then go home when the tournaments down to the nitty gritty to actually watch some snooker properly.

November

No, you've got a point about the first week being cheaper. And I like the 10am starts because I get up early to get my buffet breakfast in anyway, so aint hanging around doing buck all until 2pm.

On the downside, it takes four months before they announce who is playing in what matches, so the advantage of chosing who you want to see is gone.

I was just naming it as a consideration, as you don't get to choose who you see in the final either. And you're right, it doesn't really matter who you see. I just prefer the choice if I'm going to first round matches. I tend to do Ronnie-avoiding. rofl

Just had a flashback to last time, and you know those towels the players get (white) - I could of picked up Ronnie's towel from the afternoon session vs Dominic Dale as he had left it on the side and I was right by it. That would of been a great souvenir to of kept (and never washed). :gag: :hatoff:

if you go for 4 or 5 days in the first round you pretty much see all 32 players anyway so far better

plus you get to see the conclusion to a match 3 times each day so its non stop excitment

(sometimes it even exciting enough for me to go in to watch)

I'm usually only up for a couple of days, that's the thing. Usually just first Saturday and Sunday. And I did enjoy being at the final last year, as well as watching the concluding semis in the hotel bar with other snooker fans...

Anyway, don't matter. I got a month to decide. I'll probably change my mind a hundred times before deciding. rofl

We might be going this year :happy:

If we do go, it'll most likely be for semi's and/or possibly the final.
