Got tickets for the afternoon of the 20th for Ronnie and trying to get tickets for the 10am - I'm not a morning person and sheffield's a good hour away by car, but I imagine the reception he'll get when he comes back as reigning champion after a year out of the sport, could well make Jimmy White look unpopular by comparison.
I'll be at various other sessions as well, just been waiting for the qualifiers to be announced so I know who's playing where.

I might pop in. Like I say, I tend to prop up the hotel bar, which always has the same replays and stuff on as it's a hotel with lots of snooker fans in. But if there's nobody good to talk to, I might wonder in see what's happening there.

I went to The Brown Bear once to watch some late night boxing. It was a Friday night, and as I remember I was the sad-act in the corner trying to watch telly whilst everybody else was out partying.
