Changes to Crucible Rules

[gavpowell]

a middle-aged, ungrateful, football shirt wearing spectator with a gross sense of entitlement.

That "ungrateful" guy has spent thousands at he Crucible - the season tickets were scrapped a year or two ago but holders were given priority booking so long as they paid the whole lot up front.

FRB got a shirt which seems to emulate the football colours - well done :wink:

Wise choice. better than getting thrown out, and looks nicer

wonder how long it took him to find this one, did he (the missus?) find others for the rest of the tournament? - we wait with bated breath :biggrin:

Admitting my bias: I agree re no football tops - but it should have been announced before tickets were put on sale and I doubt the T's & C's change would stand up....

However: what about the woman with "Jester" across her breasts in scarlet low cut tee-shirt? Sexism, imho.

oh yes it will if they have "...we reserves the right to change any of these terms and conditions at any time without any..." as a clause :wink:

Well Brian's shirt looks better

Brian, has decided to go dressed as a Beach Boy (Brian Wilson?)

[jonny66]

Crowd doesn't look any more or less smartly dressed to me at all this year.

Seems it was all aimed at Brian, so I suppose he annoyed someone (Barry or the sponsors) before the change was made.

It's not an issue of looking smarter. BetFred spend hundreds of thousands supporting this event, why should other betting firms get free exposure through spectators wearing football tops?

According to Bazza it was Promoter, not Sponsor....

How does wearing a football shirt give betting firms exposure?

Apparently some are sponsored by bookies.

So hand out Masking Tape.... as above I'm in favour of sexually equal dress code and not idiotic stuff when someone gets a 100 etc... Snooker isn't Darts...
