Ronnie O'Sullivan has described the venue for this year's English Open as "a hellhole" and urged World Snooker to spend more money on tournament hosts.

The five-time world champion won his first-round match at the K2 Leisure Centre in Crawley against Kurt Maflin but was unhappy with conditions.

"I don't know what this gaff is but I've just done an interview and all I can smell is urine," he added.

Is the wind blowing from Croydon’s direction?

Surely that's a bit unfair on Crawley, given that any excrement that escapes from Croydon, always makes its way downhill to Crawley :shrug::lolol:

Ronnie O'Sullivan: Defending champion is critical of English Open venue...

I could take him to parts of Brighton and the surrounding areas that really are the pits. Christ, I wouldn't take my worst enemy there. Chav ridden, social security driv en, ill-educated and embarrassing dross-holes. And I could equally take Mr O'Sullivan to certain parts of Essex ( I think thats the shit-hole he comes from ) that fill me with disgust for the way some people live in this country.
Perhaps the smell of urine came from spectators pissing themselves with laughter at his ridiculous comments.

Crawley maybe a shithole but the overriding fact is O’Sullivan is a prick.

Think he was talking about the toilets in the venue tbf, not the whole country. :shrug:

Worst lavs in the world for smell of old piss? Dover to Calais cross channel ferry (as recent as 10 years ago).

The K2 is a strange venue for a major snooker tournament. It is a massive complex, which encompasses many sports, which is a real plus point. It is however also somewhat sterile and has the feel of an aircraft hangar.

Ronnie was also likely miffed that he couldn't get his canal boat anywhere near the venue.

We object to the term urine-soaked hell hole when you could have said pee-pee soaked heck hole.
