@Tipps72 10 месяцев назад

Stephen is 100% correct, so many snooker clubs have now disappeared, I used to play a couple of times a week going back 20 years ago, since then all my local snooker clubs have closed down & I have no idea now if there are any clubs left in the area! Even pubs with pool tables have all disappeared so there’s hardly any pool tables around now so virtually no kids will be able to play any cue sports! And I don’t see this getting any better in the UK.

@fuckwitt007 10 месяцев назад

Hearn couldnt give a monkeys about clubs closing as he doesnt make any money from them i can understand how ronnie and barry dont get on .Hearn thinks he owns the game .He's got far too much power as an individual imop .

This is taken from the statement he made regarding the wildcards for Tony Drago and Luca in 2012: 'The two places allocated to Europe in the tour qualifying criteria will be given to the top two players from continental Europe not already qualified. They are Tony Drago and Luca Brecel. They will both be given a tour card for the next two seasons.'
