I'm departing Goffs, but not before I ask fans here for their memories of the wonderful John Virgo.

Tatiana Woollaston speaks to me at Goffs and I ask her about the prospect of refereeing the World Championship final one day.

Tatiana also refelcts on the experience of refereeing at Goffs and tells me what she thinks about the new Crucible deal.

TV presenter Dave Clark talks to me about working on the John Virgo Trophy event at Goffs, including his memories of the great JV in his entertainment life while growing up.

Radio Snooker may not be a traditional podcast, but is widely available from a number of famous outlets, including Apple and Spotify. I appreciate your company very much.

I spoke to compere Phil Seymour here at Goffs, who told me how much he's relishing such a special atmosphere at the John Virgo Trophy event.

Phil also talks about whether there should be a ranking event in Ireland and why John Virgo will be so much missed.

I've been out and about speaking to snooker fans at Goffs and asking them whether there should be a ranking event in Ireland.

I spoke to Neal Foulds at Goffs and he was great value as he always is.

Neal talks about his friend John Virgo, including his memories of watching John the player.

Neal also tells me why he thinks there should be a ranking event in Ireland, and why he thinks world champion Zhao Xintong is so special.

I'm at the John Virgo Trophy exhibition event at Goffs in Ireland this weekend and I spoke to Dennis Taylor about his good friend, the late great JV.

Dennis was the busiest man in the building, so we walked and talked a la West Wing. One nice line here is that the 1985 world champion suggests he will say 'where's the cue ball going?' at the World Championship in tribute to John.

With apologies to fans of best of seven matches, I'm hailing long form snooker here, with an audio version of my new Sporting Life column.

I also let you know about some of my other work you can read and listen to right now. The Crucible draws ever closer folks. I know how excited you all are.

Does Neil Robertson now prefer the Tour Championship with its extended field of 12 players or did he prefer it with eight competing?

The twice former winner gives me his views on Radio Snooker. Your thoughts are always welcome - tweet me @RadioSnooker or email me to [email protected]

Thank you so much for your reaction to the seismic news that the World Championship will continue to be staged at the Crucible for decades into the future.

Here's a new broadcast on Radio Snooker with Nick Metcalfe, as I take a look through your correspondence following this week's dramatic announcement.
