Former snooker world champion Luca Brecel has offered a public invite for anyone who would like to join him on a private flight bound for Sheffield on Saturday at 3pm.
But what makes it a rather perplexing proposal is the fact Brecel’s second round clash against China’s Ding Junhui is set to begin at 7pm that same day.
A quick search shows the average flight time from Brussels to Doncaster Sheffield Airport lasts just over an hour.
However, there is always a chance his flight could be delayed.
And who knows what could transpire if the Belgian is absent for the start of his match against Junhui.

One reason Brecel will want to be there in time for the start is because the last time he made it out of the first round, he won the world championship.
Brecel, who described himself as the Ronaldinho of snooker, booked his spot in the second round with a 10-7 win over Ryan Day.
It was an impressive turnaround given the Belgian was down 5-1 at one stage, although he always backed himself to win.

Brecel will hope there’s no delays on Saturday otherwise he could be in some strife
