Load of sh*t these days. The World Championships aren't worth watching.
No characters or personalities left in the game. No excitement watching matches.
It's a very drab affair.

viewers are spoiled now days because of the standard of tables and players ability to make 100 breaks so easily.but i know what you mean an Alex Higgins or turn back time on the peoples champion Jimmy White they are great memories.

I love the Rocket :P Was the only reason I used to watch snooker!

Chap told me the other day about the odds, but when I looked it wasn't worth it anymore.
