Miracle Aligner 249 Posted June 2, 2020 0.4m peak for the first day of this bizarre competition. Much higher than it's equivalent normal times competition could dream of and especially high given players involved. For context 0.78m was the peak for last years Tour Championship semi-final on ITV4 between Judd Trump and Ronnie O'Sullivan, on a Thursday evening in March. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did you get to the bit where the former owner of a snooker forum I used to frequent years ago and got banned from 4 years ago turned up to have a go at me along that vein. Apparently I drove him off his own forum (this is bollocks, he was still posting years after I was banned - he just couldn't cope with the responsibility of adminning....) - tbh I thought he'd died or something, turns out he's the world's longest grudge holder.....

Miracle Aligner 249 Posted June 17, 2020 RIP Willie Thorne - Willie was a true snooker obsessive and fan as well as player, I'm not old enough to remember him playing but I've listened to thousands of hours of him talking about snooker matches and providing valuable insight over many years. I'll miss his commentary. It's a shame his life has ended at a relatively young age and been somewhat marred by off table problems - but it's always been clear he was a damn good player and damn good commentator.
