Ronnie O’Sullivan has called for more changes to be made to the Crucible venue, having earlier in the tournament pleaded for the World Championship to be moved to Asia.

The Rocket noted that improvements had been made this year, but wants more to be done to appease snooker’s biggest names.

“I think it’s a little bit dated. It could be updated maybe,” said O’Sullivan. “It could have some better facilities in here for the players to relax and maybe have some nice food at the venue so you don’t have to keep bringing it in.

“I like the way they’ve got the courtesy cars here this year so you don’t have to scrum your way through the venue every time you come here. You don’t mind coming to the venue now. It’s the first time in years so that’s a real plus.

“I get scones brought to my room before my match and that’s something else you don’t need to worry about.

“They’ve started to make these little improvements. But if you really put down a wishlist…I think the venue could be more friendly towards players. Relaxation rooms maybe, more practice tables, maybe two more practice tables. Showers maybe, a nice dressing room with showers maybe.”
