Snooker's Biggest Quiz

[JPK123]

Coldplay? (10 characters)

Bournemouth International Centre

[PaulTheSoave]

Coldplay is the correct answer.

Bournemouth is correct as well! (0.5 point for that one)

1.5 point to JPK123.

Now the rest of the venues!!

change of plan, each venue that is correct scores halve a point

[JPK123]

Bournemouth International Centre
Plymouth Pavillions
Wembley
Telewest Arena (Newcastle)
Brighton Centre

[PaulTheSoave]

the question was "have played". 2007 therefore does not count. Sorry

All venues are correct! Another one could have been the Glasgow SECC.

Therefore you are awarded 3.5 points in total! ( a bit of googling does help)

So here is the scoreboard after round 123:

John Spencer against Cliff Thorburn at the Crucible. Final 1977

John winning 25-21. RIP.

[Cyril]

I have to ask you for more, Sir...

[PaulTheSoave]

The colour of their socks?

Well done point to you, Sir!

I was going to start a thread with this pic and comment on how little the Crucible has changed in thirty years. Even the seats are the same.

[PaulTheSoave]

The seats are having a reddish pluche nowadays. At the time they were greyish as can be seen on your picture.

Updated score board

That sounds too posh for the Crucible!

Warm but not quite the reason.
