Racing journalist Dave Yates on his love of snooker

I've loved talking about snooker with Dave Yates at racecourses in the past and I knew he'd be terrific value on Radio Snooker.Dave talks engagingly about his love for snooker, including memories of snooker halls of the past, growing up loving Alex Higgins, why he's not really a fan of Ronnie O'Sulllvan and why the two table set-up at the Crucible doesn't work for him.There's also talk about the frustrations of covering sports that aren't football, gambling sponsorship and the one big thing Dave would change in snooker. Oh, and I'll also tell you who's won the first ranking event of the season. Keep your snooker views coming in - tweet @RadioSnooker or email [email protected] - and I'll return with more of your correspondence soon.
