There's another Barnsley?
I don't really follow snooker, but I thought that this was funny.
Former world champion Neil Robertson had to forfeit his World Open qualifier on Friday - because he drove to the wrong Barnsley. The Australian, who lives in Cambridge, accidentally set his sat-nav for the village of Barnsley in Gloucestershire. However, the qualifiers were being held at the Barnsley Metrodome in the Yorkshire town - 170 miles away. By the time he realised his error, it was too late and Robertson called to withdraw, sending Ian Burns through.
"Hopefully I'll be able to either play or complete a match this season," said Robertson on social media.
Robertson, 37, also had to withdraw from the Riga Masters in Latvia in July after a cancelled flight left him and several other players stranded at Luton airport.
