I went with little or no expectations to this event, and was blown away by the atmosphere. The crowd really made most of what it was. It was a chance to heckle, chant, shout, scream and boo. Purists might not like it, but it was a much needed shot in the arm for snooker. It seems that people mostly feel that have to decide either one thing or the other in life, but as is so often the case, you can have BOTH. i will continue to love the World Championships AND the Power Snooker events, and both for slighlty different reasons. Basically its a chance to turn up, get drunk if you fancy it, and REALLY interact with the snooker players, and see how they cope under more pressure than normal. Also....to see them really go for it, and try and pot their way out of everything. It was intimate, cool, funny, and a great day out. Seriously, if you didnt go, GO next year. I'll see you there. Just remember to shout powerzone.
