Angus_Young Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 World Championship starts this Saturday. Heading down for two sessions of the semi final in a couple of weeks. Hard to see past O'Sullivan, but then I thought Bingham had no chance against him and see how that turned out. He (Bingham) will have a decent defence imo, still playing well and makes very few mistakes.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miles ahead of everyone. When you take him out of the equation, no one is really that far ahead of anyone else. I've done Murphy at 12's but on his day, Trump will be there or there abouts. Hawkins, Robertson, Bingham and Ding are all capable of winning it too imo. Not sure what's been going on either Selby lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murphy had to be at his very best to put him out last year. He didn't kick on as I hoped he would though and hasn't had a great season so I fancy Murphy to go through. The new format to the ranking events has really brought the standard up. Guys are now getting experience of playing in the later rounds tournaments in front of decent crowds so I suppose any of them are capable. I think O'Sullivan will take a bit of stopping. His performance in Wales was immense, particularly against Selby, who he hammered 5-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangerinetartan Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Looking at the draw Ronnie's got Hawkins in the 2nd round and Murphy in the quarters if all goes to form tough couple of games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fu is a very solid player so was always going to be difficult. Been really impressed with Williams and Baird is mat hing Selby so far. I wonder if this is the year we see an outsider lift the title. O'Sullivan - Hawkins starts today so that will be another good player out whatever happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angus_Young Posted April 28, 2016 Author Share Posted April 28, 2016 Aye agreed. Ding went into this tournament very much with a point to prove and to be fair to him he's been excellent. You get the feeling McManus is just happy to have made it this far. Can't blame him too much for that I suppose. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairbairn Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Gutsy display from McManus here. Â He's been 5-0 and 9-3 down and he's just reeled of 5 frames on the bounce to get it back to 9-8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite. It's 9-7. Still very good though. Standard from the two of them has been fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus_Young Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share Posted April 30, 2016 Ding through. Scoreline really doesn't reflect how well McManus played. There was a point last night where I thought he could have gone into today's session level, but as it was a couple slipped away from him and he just had too much to do. Can feel very pleased with how he performed, some outstanding break building over the two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angus_Young Posted May 3, 2016 Author Share Posted May 3, 2016 It's between £80 and £90 per session for the final mate, for the cheap seats I may add. The middle rows are £125 per session with the front three rows £300 PER session. It's quite clear a lot of those seats are already earmarked for people however. I got into the system at 9.01am and you were lucky if there was 50 seats available. I'm not sure if they have some sort of membership where people get priority and/or a bit cheaper. The twat that wears the Coventry strips was there every day in prime seats. There is no way he could have booked all of them at once. We got the Sunday night and the two sessions on the Monday. Think we will sell the Sunday night though and just go to the Monday.  Even at that we are £175 each. Earlier rounds are obviously a good bit cheaper. As I said it's a bit of a piss take but the demand is clearly there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow I suppose £80 for 8/9 frames isn't too bad in the grand scheme of things when you compare it to other sporting event finals...especially when it can take a good 4+ hours. Anyway I'm away for a lie down after being able to justify the prices to myself  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
