Personally though the biggest thing is to make the venues more atmospheric, lets get music involved not just for walk ons but during frame breaks when the sport is on commercial television. I was watching the PDC darts and love it when the crowd are chanting and shouting to Planet Funk before the ad breaks. Personally would like to see some attractive women used like the darts. Im surprised that Im suggesting this, but it has helped Darts shake it's staid image. Viewers turn on the TV and see people enjoying themselves at the darts and think this is not a bad sport, but with snooker I dont think casual fans get this.<br /><br />Finally you remark on Twitter about Ted Hankey being the Ronnie O'Sullivan of darts and it certainly raised an eyebrow for me as in terms of talent and success, Ronnie is in a different stratosphere. However, Hankey is similar in that they are both easy on the eye playing wise and both beat themselves up out in the arena a lot.jamie brannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01668254365608375328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-42405107106091798132010-01-04T13:55:14.586+00:002010-01-04T13:55:14.586+00:00Mr hey you back on good form for the new year.

I seem to have the lazy school boy habit of answering questions of choice.<br />To get back to your 7:02 post sir what specific question were you referring to, or answered. My post was on generalities without names.<br /><br />I could mention the names of Champs and ex-champs plus snooker writers that have belittle the games good name; but names put blog owners in a dicey position.<br /><br />Think mister! Who sells “Snooker Diplomas”? Who publishes the name of the said “seller”? Please note mister that it is unlawful to sell copyright material without first seeking permission from the copyright owner. What schools in this country openly sells coaching diplomas?<br /><br />These students may think that they are copyright owners as the Joe Davis copyright was probable never mentioned. An honest person would not buy stolen merchandise? <br /><br />There are many professional players making an extra bobee from coaching, as it is seldom taxed or fully taxed. There is more than one snooker coach in every town in England alone.

A secret is wasted ...Snooker © The Fine Art Method <br />A secret is wasted if not shared.<br />Dear Ray of Pontypridd! (With your permission Dave)<br />How are you Ray! Your post on “Snooker Scene” was very forceful but sadly very, very In-accurate. To use strong meaningful words like “Honesty” and “Integrity” to make a valid point is commendable but so, so wrong to use such words when untrue.<br /><br />The game at present Ray is about building bridges and long may the Hendon blog continue the good work. Maybe Dave’s blog will show a few inaccuracies but not “Plain Lies”<br /><br />Mr Phil Yates was asked to access the merits and demerits of the book and video of “Snooker The Fine Art” method. Phil made no reply but instead a no comment reply from a person called “ce”on a Snooker Scene headed paper. <br /><br />Snooker Scene has repeatedly refused to hire any advertising space to the “Fine Art” method. The magazine has openly advertised “space and boxes for sale”, but apparently reserves the right to exercise a discrimination policy. For the record; I am not English.<br /><br />A New Year, A new beginnings Ray. There is no malice or hard feelings on the “Fine Art’s” part in this sad exposé. Many people just read the DH blog for snooker know how and would be receiving false information if your well meaning post wasn’t corrected.

My thoughts are with Him, His Wife, Jean and all his other family and please pass on my regards to them. The other is the main man who was our govenor in a T.V. presenting sense. Dennis Taylor, in a tribute to him just afterhis death, called him, "The face of snooker." I am of course talking about David Vine. Today would be his 74th birthday. Again my thoughts are with Him, His Wife, Mandy and all his other family. Please pass on my regards to them also.

Hello Dave<br />Thanks mister for the chance to explain a mere sentence in my last post in snooker’s favourite blog. For the record sir the “Fine Art” method was sound asleep during snooker’s wonderful “Tobacco Period”.<br /><br />Snooker developed a “We will never be poor again” attitude as they snubbed the measly offers of ordinary business men that wanted to be part of snooker. The WPBSA voted in a closed shop policy to keep out the shrewd business predators that may waste by investing the lovely prize money.<br /><br />Snooker Scene and “The voice of Snooker” had much to say in policing correctly the wayward snooker members, but failed to remind members that Break-a-Way coaching groups and schools were unlawful under copyright law.<br /><br />The shrewd businessmen on hand were Mr Ian Doyle and Mr Barry Hearn both openly rejected as predators waiting to devour the poor wee snooker players hard earned cash. Barry and Ian even Rex Williams would have possible got a life long “Arrangement” from tobacco, plus, possible the Joe Davis copyright for a song and the goodwill.
