  • Snooker Fans

    Hi just a question do any of you out there find it hard to find any snooker fan's. I have been to many social events when i ask the question does any one follow snooker i only get replies football or rugby it's makes me worry that snooker popularity is fading faster than we think

    My worry is the standard of snooker fans lol you seem to get a small group of fairly sensible and normal people following snooker but there is also this large group of fans who have some very poor and worrying sides. To be in this group you must have at least 3 from the following:

    1, Poor dress sense including a number of baggy jumpers that dont fit and a tweed jacket that you always wear with a tie.

    2, A mum and dad that sit next to you at every tournament even though you are over 30

    3, a collection of boiled sweets that you take to Tournaments and rustle when the game is in play

    4, A collection of Tournament Programmes from the 70's to present, some signed but not all

    5, A desire to get your un-signed programmes signed

    6, A ticket stub from the 1981 first round match of the World Championship

    7, You must be on Benifits, including Housing and dissability living alowance

    8, A personal high break of 8

    9, a side parting, Curtains, combover or mess

    10, A list of B+B's where you are known by name

      for some reason what ive found is theres a lot of closset snooker fans that for what ever reason dont admit it......i dont know if they think its uncool to admit to watching snooker or what.....

      i think the press to some extent is responsable for this by force feeding us Football down our throats that people think thats the in thing to say you suport....of course people suport football but they stop short from admiting they have the snooker on and are keen on it.........
