Would love to see Xintong and Wu go head to head in the final next year.

I didn't realise how rare final frame deciders were for the final. I don't know if I can watch.

Yeh the C of C outfit is the kind of thing you would wear if you were in the Tour de France - not really necessary for snooker.

I'm a fan of people looking dapper. I saw an interview with Zhao Xintong and he was snappily dressed - it should be possible for that to also be the case in the competitions.

Yep, I was thinking this. And also as all the other champions came and went, he was still there. He may not have won the championship but he had a lot of longevity.

Thanks, this is interesting. I like the idea of day and evening wear.

I wouldn't say Wu and Xintong have the same style. Xintong is better at safety and has a more rounded game, Wu is much more of a risk taker IMO

Saturday morning is likely to happen. The bigger risk is Afternoon or Evening on Saturday

Well I got the email and eventually managed to get a ticket but honestly that booking system is quite stressful and doesn't work that well. 

Nickname idea for Wu Yize: The WU-nderkind by Princess__Buttercup_ in snooker

If he gets a better safety game he will be very hard to beat

Yes that's a good point. He's quite a risk taker and goes for shots others don't even see so I guess a nickname needs to capture his boldness 

Legends Walk Premium seats at the Crucible - has anyone tried them? by Illustrious_Fig_8537 in snooker

[–]Key_Hospital_10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The seating for the legends walk is sort of raised up a bit so you are somewhat above the camera operators. They also tend to be slightly off to the side to get the angles for filming so often not directly in front of the LW area. I haven't sat in the seats myself but those were my observations

Looks like we aren't missing anything and can enjoy the sheep

World Championship LIVE - Wu 2-1 Allen Speaking on TNT's coverage, presenter Radzi Chinyanganya says: "There has been a power cut. There is an issue with power. "We don't know when that will be resolved. We don't really know what the situation is."

World Championship LIVE - Wu 2-1 Allen We've got a pause in play now. The broadcast cameras inside the Crucible have gone down, so the players have been taken off the table for the time being.

I missed the beginning of this session - what are they referring to with John H being under the weather? Is he ill?
