Ronnie O’Sullivan has suggested a number of small tweaks which he feels would improve players’ experience at The Crucible amid concerns about the World Snooker Championship venue.
O’Sullivan, 48, has won the world title a joint-record seven times. He failed to make it eight in 2024, though, falling to Stuart Bingham in the quarter-finals in Sheffield.
The experienced pro has never been afraid to vocalise his issues, be they with opponents or venues. He took aim at the “dirty” Alexandra Palace venue in January, and has been engaged in an on-off war of words with rival Ali Carter in recent times.
Back in April, O’Sullivan suggested moving the championships away from The Crucible, where the tournament has been held since the 1970s. He appears to have softened that stance after witnessing some improvements this year, but still believes more can be done.
