Good riddance I say.<br />For the first time ever in snooker we have a heirarchy with no conflict of interests.Hence the change in the ranking system and the ntroduction of the PTCS. They would have never came about with the manager of 10 of the worlds top 16 involved in running the gameAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-57517596079419403382011-04-16T03:11:59.021+01:002011-04-16T03:11:59.021+01:00I don't know enough about it all to say much b...I don't know enough about it all to say much but just wondering what Stephen Hendry's links are to it all? He has been more than a client of 110sport has he not and he is embedded in the company and has been their flagbearing asset for all these years. Would he not do something on a personal level to help the company out? It may be a ridiculous suggestion since as I say I don't know enough about it but just thought it was something worth getting folk's opinions about. <br /><br />I was also slightly surprised when Spencer's snooker club in Stirling closed a few years ago too, I thought it may have been something Stephen might have wanted to keep open himself as it was the place he displayed all his trophies and clearly did all those hours of practice to become a seven-times champ.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-89615174137392516262011-04-15T23:31:23.362+01:002011-04-15T23:31:23.362+01:00If some one could tell me what the aultiam deal wa...If some one could tell me what the aultiam deal was and what happened to it please.TazManiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10400118522868248699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-31943941653127827502011-04-15T19:55:43.253+01:002011-04-15T19:55:43.253+01:00is this the company who holds the qualifiers broad...is this the company who holds the qualifiers broadcast rights and does nothing with them which is why we can't see them? if so then very well that they are going down, at least the qualies might be streamed next term.urindragonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-24164219087186915542011-04-15T19:34:36.176+01:002011-04-15T19:34:36.176+01:00Dave, what do you think was the logic behind oppos...Dave, what do you think was the logic behind opposing Barry Hearn? It appeared that he was going to take snooker in the direction 110 had been trying for years; in Hearn it seemed they finally had a management they could work with. I can understand Lee Doyle showing loyalty to the board he was currently serving on, but once Hearn was elected chairman there was only one horse left in the race by then; if Hearn was squeezing him out I could understand 110 trying to call an EGM, but if Hearn offered to cut them in on the action I don't understand the reasoning for walking away.
