What will it actually mean for the World Championships though? I'm not going that day and was banking on being able to watch it on tv. Those Right Royal chameleons have thrown a spanner in the works.

Fair chance the snooker will be cancelled, certainly during the time when the service etc is being shown.
Im by no means a big royalist but i would watch the royal wedding of our future king anyday over a session of snooker. With this now being a public holiday etc and such a huge national event, a once in a generation event, its hard to imagine the snooker being on at the same time.

If they do play it at the same time as the wedding then it will surely be the worst attended session in Sheffield ever, even wild will probably have his union jacks and scarf out cheering on the happy couple. :?

Be funny if Hendry makes the semis then theres no fans there and he loses heavily and moans that the lack of atmosphere reminded him of the PTC.

One would imagine so, but we're talking about the competence of world snooker though so they'll probably shock us all by moving the World final to that day. :emu:

For those with terrestrial television only, with no access to the red button or to Eurosport it means they run the risk of not being able to see it. For those of us that can watch it over the red button, or Eurosport, it just means we'll have to change the channel. Okay, so we might not be cutting to Parrot and Davis talking about the 1985 final between each frame, but if that's the only sacrifice, who cares?

Mr Wild. <cool> I will be joining you on that one. Though to be fair, if the only think the Royal Wedding clashes with is Spongebob Squarepants, I'd still watch the other channel. I certainly wouldn't miss Crucible Semi-Finals for it. <laugh> It'll be me and you posting on here that day, wondering where everybody is.

Yes but I think it will be out of your control whether you watch the snooker or not. Royal weddings are the sort of thing that can stop the World Championships for a day.

I bloody hope not. What about those of us that have tickets for the semis or the final and have already booked hotels? My interest in watching two posh twits get married was pretty minimal anyway, and I certainly wouldn't rather watch it over snooker.
