I wanted to pop down to Zofingen to see it this year but have simply been way too busy. My blog is suffering too! It's a great event that's organised by Bashkim Azizaj, or Baki as we all know him over here. I've played in it a couple of times myself. My last "competitive" match was a few years ago in the Swiss Open against Tom Ford, ...naturally, he thrashed me! The results of the knockout phase from this years competition can be seen <A HREF="http://www.snooker.ch/Docs/SwissOpen.pdf" REL="nofollow">here</A>.<BR/><BR/>Andyandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14040711881348024153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-43253242819438895212007-11-23T02:46:00.000+00:002007-11-23T02:46:00.000+00:00I think that the great WT lays claim to being the ...I think that the great WT lays claim to being the current Seniors World Champion having beaten runner up Cliff Thorburn, in what was incidentally the first snooker tournament broadcast live on the internet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-85623755266689033782007-11-22T14:32:00.000+00:002007-11-22T14:32:00.000+00:00Can't see Hendry wanting to get involved with this...Can't see Hendry wanting to get involved with this.

People have been talking about that but European household names have been missing – still are but, as you have pointed out, not for long. However, organisers can’t and shouldn’t capitalize (and count) on people’s nostalgia as their only or main asset – the standard of these players must be good. <BR/><BR/>It’s true that even the MT events are struggling for sponsorship, but I am sure there are plenty of fans ready to turn out for the stars of yesteryear and this could make it interesting for sponsors as well. <BR/><BR/>I’m sure I read something, somewhere about Cliff and Steve being very keen to be involved with such a project.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
