'Don't sell the World Championship'...

Had to check the league table one more time. #SWFC Congratulations. Now Mr Chansiri has to realise he must fully back Danny Rohl this summer. There is an amazing opportunity for the Owls to build something special. Let's not repeat last summer's chaos.

What does the future hold for the #WorldSnookerChampionship in Sheffield and at the Crucible beyond 2027? Special report and comment in today's Yorkshire Post Sport from myself and Richard Hercock on one of the city, and Yorkshire's, sporting institutions.

'It’s time for Sheffield City Council and snooker chiefs to get round the table and find a solution which works for everyone.'

I can think of worse places to spend a day off ‘work’. WST

And some people think we should leave the crucible 😂😂😂😂 #WorldSnookerChampionship #drama

The press cuttings wall at the Crucible. Always a good read. WST

Will the World Championship leave Sheffield? Can't see how SCC can afford to build a new 3k venue which would only be needed for 17 days a year. On the table, mixed Crucible fortunes for Ding and Ronnie.

Best match at the Crucible so far, Lisowski holds his nerve to win final-frame decider against Ding 10-9. Feel a bit sorry for Ding, he played well, but Jack was just a tad more adventurous and it paid off. WST Some guy called Ronnie up next.

I love watching Ding Junhui when he is at the table. In full flow, his craft is amazing. Jack Lisowski another player with immense natural talent. This match is spoiling us as a first round contest. WST

Morning at the snooker. Great start to the weekend. WST

Zhang Anda steps out at the Crucible this morning for the World Championship as a top 16 player. Had a great chat with the Sheffield-based snooker player, one of three lads from Vic Snooker Academy who are competing at the Crucible. yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/other-sp…

The world”s top snooker players ready to do battle for the Crucible crown. Media day duties. WST Feels like Christmas Eve.

Green baize is out in Sheffield. It’s the World Championship back at the Crucible. WST

Ignoring the county with the largest active playing base of women & girls in the country suggests either (a) ECB isn't fully committed to promoting women's game, and/or (b) agenda against Yorkshire CCC because of the past. Either way that largest playing base unfairly loses out

So Luca Brecel v Dave Gilbert is the opening match at the Crucible. Draw made this morning. Some really good match-ups. 48 hours to go. WST

Sheffield is snooker! Saudi, Middle East, far east can have everything. Masters whatever they want. But the worlds should never ever be removed no matter what! Ever! Im amazed so many people are open to the idea. Just shows you what money can really do! It buys principles!

Huge shock in the EIS qualifiers. Former world champion Neil Robertson loses 10-9 to Jamie Jones so won't be going to the Crucible this year. WST
