RONNIE O'SULLIVAN has branded the famous Alexandra Palace venue as "disgusting".
The Rocket beat Barry Hawkins 6-3 yesterday as he booked a spot in his first Masters semi-final since 2019 and 15th overall.
But the world No.1 is less than impressed at the upkeep of the historic Grade-II listed Victorian building which was opened in 1875.
The iconic Ally Pally venue also hosts the PDC World Darts Championship, pool's Mosconi Cup and ping pong events.
But O'Sullivan, who has a disciplinary rap hanging over his head due to other issues, said: "I just don't like this place, I find it disgusting.
"Everywhere's just dirty, it's cold, I'm freezing. I have to sit here in my coat.''
