  • 2024 Xi'an Grand Prix

    Any one see more than one table on Matchroom.Live?

    8 tables in play and their "superb" coverage is one table
    Up the TSF! :snooker:

    That is a good point. I wonder why it's not on Eurosport / Discovery for instance? I saw a bit of Ronnie and Wang today, a few other interesting results
    so far not wishing to spoil it for people.

    On Matchroom in the past there was typically at least 2 tables to choose from, one with commentary one without. It does seem a bit odd really. The whole tournament
    seems a bit like it's just been slid into the schedule. It makes me think about when they don't announce a venue or even a main sponsor for a tournament only a few
    months out - are they actually still scratching around at that late date to sort a venue out? No idea, just wondering.

      It reminds me of a tasteless joke when the Movie "Grand Prix" came out.

          Probably only the BBC and ITV events; it seems to me that Discovery, who now own Eurosport, are not snooker fans

              Isn't the table playing slow? Just saw the first few frames of the Vafaei match.

                They're advertising the Saudi Masters on Discovery+ starting on the 30th, so hopefully there will be more tournaments covered, not impressed though.
                I don't think Ws are at all interested in UK snooker fans, just $$$$$$$$$$.

                  Considering I no longer have access to Eurosport and wont pay the expensive amounts wanted by Discovery, Bet365 I will stay

                    Yeah, I'll have to see how it goes. I'm not paying £15 a month for the odd tournament here and there. We should never have got into bed with the Hearns. (sorry for any nightmares that imagery may cause ) How can the game grow here if nobody can even watch it?

                        Yes, themselves.

                          £7.99 a month I pay for discovery +, just the eurosport option that doesn't include TNT as I don't watch football anymore and make do with Motogp highlights on ITV4. Eurosport gives me world superbikes and british superbikes live so I can live without watching the ducati cup live, which is what motogp has become
                          As yet I haven't finished watching the wuhan open qualifiers, just a couple of matches left to watch, I don't know the results so it's as good as live, Maguire went out yesterday as far as I'm concerned
                          Speak up, you've got to speak up against the madness, you've got speak your mind if you dare
                          but don't try to get yourself elected, for if you do you'll have to cut your hair

                              Anyone know what happened to Wee Dott? Must have been really unwell to withdraw after travelling all that way and winning his first match.
