[Other Sport] Protester climbs onto crucible snooker table

[Sid and the Sharknados]

So i don't begrudge them their protest and in front of the rich grey haired crowd maybe it's a "good audience" for it.

Tickets cost about £40. There are significantly richer grey haired audiences that could be protested in front of.
Although since it's one of the few sports still on the BBC it probably has a wildly larger TV audience than most people would guess.

Would this be so f**king funny if they'd had KNIVES in their hands, grappled with the players trying to stop them and been STABBED? They could very easily have chosen to slash the cloths.

Some pathetic comments from snooker haters.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we do see violence in the future from some environmental groups.

Some of them fantasise about revolutions coming.

They've arrested someone who claims they were framed.

I'll stop there and give you a break.

Cue more puns.

Where is the news coverage that mentions the aims of the group and the reasoning behind it? Can you point out the news coverage that does mention the cause?

Or look at social media such as Twitter, which shows thousand of people making personal abuse at the protester and organisation with very few showing support.

Or a thread about it on a football forum that is amassing a vast number of posts in a short space of time.

Oh...

She died before WW1, and women got the vote in 1928. I imagine they'd have got the vote without her death. Women won the right in the US in 1919, but they didn't die in front of horses. Maybe her death delayed women getting the vote.

Considering the contempt parliament had for Suffragettes and that many men thought they were no better than criminals or insurrectionists I think you may well be wrong. Yes they would eventually get the vote but it certainly wouldn’t have happened until afer WWII.

Give it a rest.

It's about time someone highlighted the level of cruelty snooker players are subjected to.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Cue more puns.

I have given up playing snooker; the rest is history.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Did they have big balls?

 

[Thunder Bolt]

They could liven up golf next.

I’m surprised they didn’t claim the strong winds that blew down those trees.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Will the protesters be sent a bill-iards for the damage?

Surely the audience suffers more

Would have been interesting to see how the likes of Higgins after a few shorts or Stevens after a night on the bag might have dealt with such spanners.

Potter out.

I suspect TV audiences are vastly greater than for WSL games.

Yes you may be right, although I did mean the tv audience more than the ticket holders. I imagine, maybe wrong, that the audience might be a bit like a bowls audience, old, rich, Tory?

So is there any feasible way this protest could lead to the world ending the use of oil? Are the middle east closing the fields as we speak?

I hope he's locked up.

Since golf does actually have a large environmental impact, that would be a good idea.

No stereotyping here, no siree.

Bowls has an audience?
