stella fan Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 How come the crucible got the snooker in the first place, who was behind it, its a bit embarassing on the telly when the players are on video trying to be cool an behind them is the grafitti on the walls,it makes sheff look a right dump. But never the less i love the world championships being held at sheffield, always watched it, an always will. Good on yer anyway, whoever you are.

Lickszz Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 I notice that extensive coverage was on Eurosport this year. The coverage was better on Eurosport than the BBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abdul Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 Originally posted by rickmiles85 just thinking about a couple of well known brands like BMW, IBM, Microsoft, Mercedes. You only need to look around at other tournaments and events. like the Martell Grand National, Fosters Britist Grand Prix. Mercedes sponser some tennis event? It is possible to sponsor a sport without the need for tobacco advertising. Good point rick, but I'd say those companies sponsor middle-class events (tennis, horse racing etc). They wouldn't want to dilute their brand by associating themselves with sports that are deemed working class such as football, snooker or darts.

Cyclone Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 I can see where you're coming from with BMW and Mercs being middle class. But IBM and Microsoft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
