Wouldn't that cause 'carnage'?

Obviously F1 is a different sport to snooker, but I didn't really miss the crowd in CL and TC either. The WC will be fine without the crowd. Would you rather no WC just because they can't have a live crowd? Deal with the situation we all find ourselves in and make the most of it.

I know what you mean. But I feel like crowd pressure is such a key part of the World Championship it would be a shame for Ding to forever have an asterisk next to his victory.

Yeah, that’s really not fair at all. People who’ve spent the time and effort getting rickets could lose out to latecomers, possibly to people who are only buying tickets in lieu of anything better to do.

If there’s a partial crowd I actually don’t think there is a fair way to go about it. With that in mind, prioritising those who have paid the most is probably the best way because it maximises revenue and protects those who lose more.

And more importantly it would no doubt mean Front Row Brian is there.

“Ethically” I would say no crowd is better than a partial crowd. But as much as I didn’t miss the crowd much during the CL and TC, a World Championship without a crowd would be sacrilege.

I reckon I’m gonna jump ship and cancel, as I don’t like the thought of going to specific toilets etc. Won’t be able to enjoy it.

New dates hadn't been announced yet, so all I knew was it'd either happen; "Later in the year or April and May 2021." Due to the uncertainty, I got a refund.

Good to see that they're giving the choice between this year or next now.
