World Snooker Championship: Barry Hearn warns tournament could leave Crucible after 2027 | Snooker News

Barry Herne called on the Sheffield City Council to expand the vessel from 980 or confront the World Snooker Championship after 2027; The World Snooker 2025 will last until Monday, May 5

Barry Herne warned of the World Snooker Championship, which will leave the crucible after 2027 unless the place is renewed or replaced.

Since hosting the tournament for the first time in 1977, it has provided the background to the golden age of Snooker, but Herne says it is no longer suitable for the purpose.

With the expiry of the hosting contract within two years, the Matchroom, which has largely controlled the Snoker since 2010, has been strongly involved in negotiations and Herne says, perfectly, the global SNOKER tour wants to stay.

The capacity of the crucible is only 980

But the 76 -year -old girl, whose son Eddie was the Chairman of the Board of Directors, called on the Sheffield City Council to expand the place of 980 capacity or confront the event.

“It is black and white: we love the crucible, and we love Sheffield, but the two flags and Chevild. BBC 5 Live.

“We want to stay, but the financial statements must be taken into account. The facilities in which the crucible is no longer suitable for the purpose, this is the main issue.”

Hearn’s Matchoom Sport also runs arrows, which attract crowds from several thousand to large squares, and therefore can provide huge money.

The PDC World DARTS champion will collect a million pounds next year. Snooker World 2025 Check will receive £ 500,000, and Herne believes that Snooker should go in the same way.

“The crucible was a large part of my life and a large part of the Snowker’s life,” Herne said. “But you must move with the Times and a person, whether it is a government or Sheffield, you must reach a way to show that we will treat respect and give us the type of facilities we ask for.

“It is simple like that. It is not complicated.”

Ding is one of the six Chinese players who reached the last 16 of this year’s championship

Six Chinese players reached the last 16 of this year, and China has been linked alongside Saudi Arabia, to host the tournament.

“Maybe we should take this all over the world. It may be one year in Beijing, one year in Saudi Arabia and one year in Sheffield. We have to move with the times,” Herne said.

“I am interested in increasing the prize money as we did with arrows. Snocker should be more commercially applicable.

“The contract period ends in 2027 and we need a decision soon. I am too much to be brilliantly. I need 3000 people per session, otherwise I have a lot of people and lose their support. We want to stay in Sheffield, so show me the way.

“If not, I can justify the rotation that takes the World Snooker Championship on the road and makes it what it is, which is the world championship is not just a championship for CEFELED.”

Last week, Snooker World, Sheffield City Countil and Sheffield Tour, they say that because of the “sensitive and commercial nature of these ongoing discussions”, no advertisement will be issued during this year’s event.
