The W.P.B.S.A. has given its members the opportunity to earn millions of pounds over the past 40 years and many members have made a good living from the game. Only a handful of these members have put anything back into the game and that's where the problems have been and ,like Snooker Scene and its editor, have not supported the game that has given them a good living.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-20997186446119042992011-05-29T23:41:29.998+01:002011-05-29T23:41:29.998+01:00opinions has not changed all clive everton has EVE...opinions has not changed all clive everton has EVER wanted was what was best for snooker and how it was run.<br /><br />haven't you learned anything. its now being run professionally with focus but he or snooker scene wont hesitate to put the boot in barry hearn if he cocked up.wildnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-28168166860694032572011-05-29T22:09:07.081+01:002011-05-29T22:09:07.081+01:00All any advertiser has ever bought in the magazine...All any advertiser has ever bought in the magazine is space to advertise their products.<br /><br />It amuses me that people are so trenchant when they are anonymous.

Snooker Scene relied on Doyle's influence with his adverts and advertisers for years.
