I'm considering getting some beer in for this, but don't know if I will. The plus side of being 'home' at the moment is that I get Sky Sports. The downside is if I have more then one mouthful of beer I get questions asked of me, or at least several disapproving looks coming my way.

With £1000 for every frame won and £1000 for every century, you can understand why they'd use this as an opportunity to supplement their income rather then a serious competition.

Gj, its totally different in tennis as the top players are multi millionaires many times over whereas in snooker theres so little money around in comparison that of course the PL money is worth chasing.
Perfect example of snooker players being motivated by money is Ronnies recent 147 episode.

Wasn't Ronnie the one leading the calls for Barry Hearn to sign? I mean, I know Simon Cowell was his first choice, but still. :john:

It's a weekly tradition. I drink beer, I watch PL Snooker. And I complain about Goldstein being an unfunny idiot.
