Ssb - walker 'defeated' at agm

[glaken]

Don't know about anybody else but I feel like a weight may have been lifted off the back of snooker and the future although uncertain can only be better.

Will wait and see what his successor(s) can do or change in snooker before jumping around in happiness.

I agree. This isnt neccasarily the start of good times - but i hope it is!

If the voting was 32 for to 24 against and 4 0f the votes were board members for, were were the other 22 players who didn,t vote. After all the disent this season about the lack of earning under the present board I am susprised that there wasn't a 100% turn out.

World Snooker has confirmed Walker, Jim McMahon and Mike Dunn have all been voted off the board of the WPBSA.

good news - remember adr147 called it first yesterday!

It's change and that's what snooker needed. We will wait and see if it's good for snooker but I'm feeling far more optimistic about the future than I was yesterday.

It's a GREAT RESULT! It's what the majority of fans wanted and what the game desperatly needs..

[HunRon]

Great, great, great!

FINALLY...................

It was about time to get rid of the dead wood!! Woot!

[sunny3909]

Any news on who is going to replace Rodney Walker?
Is Barry Hearn in reckoning?

[superaussie]

The slight miscalculation in all of this is of course that Hearn would have to be co-opted as the board has now been reduced effectively to two members.

Can't see them making Barry their first choice. I'd say more likely to be someone from IMG ...

[sunny3909]

I would love to see Barry Hearn become the chairman,He is the guy we can count on in bringing more sponsorships and help in globalisation of the game.

[Alex0paul]

How long roughly until the board is in place?

Also will this affect the 'possible' new ranking event that was 'apparently' being held in February/March?

But they are SO alone there....
An EGM will probably be called but how soon?
