Judd Trump's wish may make snooker a whole lot worse and extend his title drought

Judd Trump has to be careful what he wishes for. The snooker star is one of the only top players calling for the World Championship to be moved from the Crucible to a larger venue.

He's kicked off that a "darts atmosphere" is starting to brew with members of the audience putting him off by shouting. But his wish could make things a whole lot worse.

Imagine if the World Championship moved to Ally Pally, which is one of the prospective venues to keep it in the UK. It's hardly going to be a library.

That place is built for carnage, not concentration. It's the Colosseum of darts for a reason and if Trump thinks he's getting heckled now, it would only be amplified in north London.

Barry Hearn could ban fancy dress, but it won't stop day-trippers looking for a boozy day out.

There are instances where a large crowd can remain quiet, but if Trump wants a bigger venue, it will come with a huge risk.

The majority of World Championship fans are well-behaved and have one headphone in their ear listening to the BBC commentary during the matches.

But the unpredictability of switching venue could extend Trump's six-year World Championship title drought even longer.

Wenger wrong

THE Champions League lets pretty much every half-decent team in since it was expanded to 36 clubs.

The very least that the Europa League winner deserves is a spot in the more lucrative competition.

Thankfully, FIFA don't take Arsene Wenger's suggestions seriously after he called for that privilege to be scrapped because too many English sides were in the main event.
