Should the World Snooker Championship move from The Crucible?

Iran's Hossein Vafaei has criticised the Crucible Theatre, saying the venue "smells really bad", the practice room is like a "garage" and the World Championship should move elsewhere.

The Sheffield venue has staged snooker's biggest competition every year since 1977, but, speaking to the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ’s Jamie Broughton, Vafaei says the event should be moved to either China or Saudi Arabia.
