How do you know? did you goto Glasgow? there was lots of advertising, on TV, Radio and local press for the GP, nation wide advertising was sparse as it always has been.

Ja. how much advertising was there in Glasgow for the snooker?

Oh and wild when you make your point in a thread we get it yeah, we all read it coz that is how a thread works you read one post then the other, there is no need to carry on like a broken record through out the whole thread, let others have their comments without you replying to everybodys new post with your thoughts yet again. I am not the only one who is getting annoyed with your constant negative attitude to every thread on the forum.

im not negative im being honest....

would you give youre money to a desparate sport i know i wouldnt the powers that be has to get theire heads from theirs stupid arses and sort out this sport. idiotic ideas like 6 red rubish and this onefourseven crap wont work and are total waste of time.

parden me for caring what idiots are doing to the sport i love.

I think Wild is entitled to their opinion - trouble is, it seems that they don't think anyone else is entitled to theirs. As far as your personal attacks on the individuals behind these ideas go, I think you should be careful what you are saying - have you ever met any of them to speak with such an informed voice?

And as far as your opinion goes - ok, entitled to it you maybe, correct you may (or may not be). Let's give it a chance! Fact of life - things change and evolve. Change is not always good, but if nothing else - ONEFORSEVEN has got people talking already and it hasnt event been staged yet!

I clicked interested on the poll, because HOW can you either LOVE or HATE something that you havent even seen!?

How can you say it wont work without trying?

There are a few things that no authority in the world will be able to sort out:
- the fact that there is so much choice of possible programs/shows/games, though televion, multimedia devices and Internet, that inevitably the share of "traditional" programs in shrinking.
- the fact that our society doesn't encourage people and in particular young people to devote their time to "demanding" activities: demanding in terms of time, skills, attention and dedication. Snooker is just such activity, particularly the 15-reds form of the game.
- the fact that a match of snooker can't be "constrained" in a well defined timeslot, which does not make it the more appropriate for broadcasting.

The aim of people promoting those alternate form of the game is not to alter or downgrade the sport. It is to try to attract part of the audience/public - to watch it and to play it - by developping more "accessible" forms, forms that fit with the demands of broadcasters also (Pot black, Premier League under shot-clock were pioneers). They are actually trying to save the game you love, not to kill it!

Can't you see that?

The poll asks about the concept. We haven't seen it yet, but we can imagine how it's going to be. I think it's perfectly possible to love or hate the idea itself.

I don't think theres any need to get so animated about it and it baffles me why you are being so offensive (calling people idiots) to those attempting to breathe a bit of life into the sport.

If you care so much about the sport as you claim to do, what are you doing to be part of the solution to help the revival besides posting opinion on this site. I would say probably nothing. Your point would probably be noted if you kept your emotions a little more in check.

I should imagine you are happy to get this reaction........

because their previous gimics have been poor so their track record is hardly great

what precious gimicks (with a k!)???

yes sorry a spelling error but its obvious what my wording suggested

If an organisation continually introduces gimmicks that are pointless you can see why people are negative about another new one

but it isn't the "organisation" introducing it. This is Neil Tomkins brainchild. And you can't possibly deny that people at GSC love the game and do a great job to promote it, do you?

fair enough but they are not running snooker so if they introduce this WSA wont listen to their ideas anyway even if it goes well

The WSA prefer to itroduce pro challengers events with pathetic prize funds
