There are discussions about the possible relocation of the World Snooker Championship, with Saudi Arabia and China being mentioned as potential destinations. The current hosting deal at the Crucible is set to expire in 2027. One of the concerns raised by a contestant, Mark Allen, is the exposure that certain players receive or don’t receive, and he questions whether winning the tournament would significantly elevate his status in the sport. The documentary features interviews with current players, legends of the baize, pundits, TV presenters, World Snooker Tour management, and other behind-the-scenes characters, making it a valuable addition to this year’s World Championship.
There is a debate about whether the World Championship should remain at the Crucible, with Mark Allen emphasizing the need for a new venue that can accommodate 2,500 to 3,000 people and expressing his hope for Sheffield to support the event’s continuation. Not all leading players are in agreement on the issue of relocating the World Snooker Championship. Judd Trump and Mark Allen have acknowledged the challenges facing the sport’s authorities but have not joined Ronnie O’Sullivan and Hossein Vafaei in advocating for a move.
