It's hard isn't it, it's the cost of it all and who's going to put up the capital for it.
00:05
I mean the money's in sort of China isn't it and places like that and I think that's where
00:10
they'll be wanting to, the players will be wanting to head, you know that's where they,
00:15
or Saudi Arabia and places like that. What would happen to the sport if the finals make that?
00:22
I think to be honest it's a bit, it's a bit on, a bit on the decline in this country anyway I think,
00:29
since it's ADA in the 70s and early 80s, I don't think it is what it is. I don't think there's
00:34
the characters in the game either. In that sense then do you think it's doomed? Doomed? Probably,
00:41
I think it is long term in Sheffield, I can't see it going beyond what, 2027 is it?
00:50
It's a theatre isn't it, Crucible, it's only a fortnight a year, I mean it's,
00:57
lots of sort of money, in fact I believe the town hall give the, so much but they won't disclose it,
01:03
they actually give the snooker, you know the public purse type thing but they won't,
01:08
won't tell you how much they give them. They subsidise? Yeah, I used to go there when it
01:13
first started in the 70s. What do you remember? A bit too big now but yeah after 50 years,
01:22
not as popular as it used to be though. I used to be like a member of the snooker club,
01:26
there used to be a lot more teams than there is now. Can you name the winner from last week?
01:32
The winner? Hmm, supposed to, was it Kyle Walker, Kyle somebody or other?
01:46
Would that damage Sheffield's reputation or its income? What that if he went?
01:52
I don't know, I just say,
01:58
I got to chase the money out me, years ago, old Sullivan said he wouldn't go overboard,
02:05
but now for some reason.
