2014 World Championship - Discussion

incorrect, busy nearly every night of the week
again speaking to the committee chap, the three tables take between £2200 and £2800 a month
I think that is not bad for a social club that is "not" a snooker club

maybe while the wc is on, but very hard to believe. may i ask, where is this hopeful little place?

no, as I said earlier this is "not just while the WSC is on" but has been this year so far and was good last year as well from what I hear

[j6uk]

[DeanH]

and the club is?

my secret

what clubs do you belong to (that are about to close down)?

[DeanH]

it is Bracknell Bowling and Social Club

[Neil Taperell]

There's none left to close down Dean . Not a club near me for about 20 miles plus , apart from my mates and another just down the road , but no atmosphere at that one. If that shut , that would probably be me finished with snooker . Loads of social clubs but most only have 2 tables and I can't stand playing one frame then waiting 3 frames to play another .

[j6uk]

where was "pentals"?

i may have spelt it wrong but thats how it sounded. it was a famous night spot between the station and the m3

[DeanH]

oh "Pantiles", yep used to be a great place, used to go there with mates back in the day

closed back in the 2000s sometime

[j6uk]

that's the one, yep great place as you say. heaving all weekend.. block of fats or should i say gated homes now yeah?

[DeanH]

no idea, don't go that way anymore

[itsnoteasy]

11 pounds an hour peak time, 4 pounds off peak. I would be at the club every day at 2pound an hour

WHAT ,,! ! I would have to pack in snooker at those prices, where about are you that's charging those prices? How many are going in at peak times.

[jono*]

I play in Hong Kong. It still gets packed. The money I spend playing the game I could buy a new cue every month. I often go in the mornings when it is off peak. Ten tables in total. Tables close together. Not great.

[chrisoverson]

Can't complain about my club. Non profit place that's been going about 60 years or more, 3 tables (2 antique match tables), 50p per frame per person upto a max of £2.

I've played for 8 hours before, only paid £2. Even got my own key .
