    Alan McManus outfit is a sight to be seen

    Proud scotsman, probably go all out for the kilt if he gets to the final

    Eurosport will allow streaming, but you have to pay for that service.

    Ding came through anyway 10-7 against Mark Davis from 4-0 down, he will be happy with that recovery despite missing out on a 147 by playing position on the blue on the 13th red!

    Great safety shot by steadman won him that frame. Forced Ronnie to play a shot he didn't want to.

    There is a guy sat in the first seat to the right of the players seats in the osullivan steadman game (white top) who is always in that seat (or the one opposite for the other table)

    I went to the final a few years back and he was there the just about every match except the final. He usually wears a light blue football shirt.

    Also the big guy (grey top) about level with the blue spot on the left, ive seen him loads of times at matches, he always seems to be nodding off.

    he wears the coventry jearsey normally yeah.
    That guy proposed a few years ago, he got the full walk on like a player.

    There are a few of them in the same seats every year alright.

    Poor quality in the williams vs stevens match. It keeps going in off. Even virgo has nearly stopped saying 'where's the cue ball going'

    I'm glad I watch it on Eurosport, as I just can't listen to Taylor and Virgo.
    Virgo speaks without opening his mouth, and Taylor never shuts up about the "atmosphere in the crucible" and the "knowledge of the crowd" and "the baloo and the brine"

    Ronnie through to the second round with a 10-3 victory. He will more than likely play Matthew Stevens unless Mark Williams can do something special this afternoon to come from 7-2 behind.

    I'm jealous. Enjoy the matches!

    Tried to get tickets to one of the O' Sullivan games but they were all sold out. How far in advance would you need to buy them?

    He's a 'shoe-in' for the final if you ask me. . . . . . . . see what I did there?

    Haha, cheers.

    I bought mine May 6th last year the morning they went on sale. You'd need to be quick off the mark to get good seats.

    Looks like

    Selby vs McGill
    Higgins vs Ding
    Allen vs Hawkins

    Very happy with that, unless they decide to change who's on what table in which case it'll be Trump and then Murphy in their first round matches which isn't bad either.
