Got tickets for the final session of the final in '08 (I saw that as karma for the Spurs ticket office/membership system royally screwing me out of a Wembley ticket that year). Was such a one-sided win for O'Sullivan, me and my mate spent the afternoon in a hotel in sheffield willing Ali Carter to win enough frames to actually take it to a final session...
We didn't get much snooker in the end, two frames I think. A total formality. But we got the presentation, a streaker, and some tinkled-up Irish bloke shouting 'come on the rocket' on repeat (was actually quite funny) - not exactly the experience we'd hoped for, but an experience nonetheless!

I use to play about twice a week until I got married, but misus wouldn't stand 2 night training and the snooker, usually played at local social club or over Burtons. I moved home about 8 years ago and went to a snooker and games club and was gobsmacked by the type of people using the place, I felt totally out of my comfort zone surrounded by blokes covered in tattoos who looked like they had never worn a tie or shoes in their lives.

I was never any good but loved the game from its tv exposure during the 80s and 90s. I went to the old club I used to play in in my teens and had a similar experience, including someone’s dog having a brick on the floor. I think snooker halls always had a bit of the underworld about them, but if you were there to play you were there to play properly.
Still one of the few sports I think where someone would call their own foul.

I think they use to be in all major high streets, I went to Camden and Kentish Town branches.

Yeah there were always a couple of dodgy looking characters, but it was quiet and most people looked like they wanted to play snooker not score drugs.

They used to have these art deco facias I remember

Yeah usually on a corner site, those were the days proper shops on the high street, no nail bars, phone shops, betting shops, tattoo parlours or poncey coffee shops, only take away were fish and chip or pie and eel shops.

Great finish, Ronnie had lost the plot and threw away the chance to go 15-15, then missed one shot in 3 frames and won a safety bout in the decider. He thinks he’s playing golf though...
The other semi had a crazy decider the finished 94-74!!

2 brilliant SF's
Wilson is a good younger player I do think Ronnie if his head is on will hammer him though
