Sheffield council chiefs have reiterated their desire to keep snooker’s World Championship in the city, but stopped short of guaranteeing that it would remain at its spiritual home of the Crucible.
The future of the championships beyond the end of the current staging agreement in 2027 – which marks the 50th anniversary of the Crucible hosting the event – has been a hot topic on and off the baize over the duration of the tournament this past fortnight.
“The atmosphere the Crucible Theatre offers is unrivalled. It is an experience you cannot get anywhere else. In recent weeks we have heard players such as Tom Ford, Shaun Murphy and Barry Hawkins describe the magical mood when competing at the venue. Shaun said the theatre was ‘one of the best in the world’ and to the sport it was ‘home’, and we couldn’t agree more.
