Should be interesting at least, I'm out so recording it and will watch both sessions when I get in. My question is what will they do to fill 2 hours on each session?

Some form of analysis, chat or half-time entertainment I imagine. They seem to be putting a lot of emphasis on pretty women though. <doh> I hope we don't get any exotic dancing or anything cheesy like that. This is meant to be snooker, not Stringfellows.

Slightly cringeworthy opening introductions etc but the action about to get underway now.

Crowd looks poor, empty tables etc. Can the people sitting at the tables even see the action

I like the colour of the cloth. Brecel's first visit was promising. First frame and Michaela has already made a couple of scoring errors :redneck:

This game is a nightmare to referee. Really got to be thinking clearly.

Just noticed that the level of the table is above a load of seating in the arena. If that's the case then <doh>

Who are those 3 clowns with the best seats?

I hope Selby plays the perfect tactical game and wins this event by getting a lead and then running the clock down. That would be pretty damn funny.

I do like the cloth colour. I definitely think they should mix it up on the main tour and have different coloured cloths for different events.
