Good.

Whether you agree or not, one huge plus point is that is all the political nonsense at an end and Hearn and his team can get on with putting next season together.

[HunRon]

YES!!!!

Congrats to BARRY HEARN!:snooker:

I'm very happy.

[Souwester]

At last we have a decisive answer as to how snooker will move forward.

Today is the start of a new era for snooker.

[visionaire]

Thank heavens for that! An end to political back-stabbing hopefully! Let's get back to playing and enjoying the game!

something tells me this is not the end but Hearn got the support so he knows the players wants to change how snooker is run and from my point of view thats the best news of all.

Best to remember that the Davidson proposal has not been defeated. It could still be put to the members at a new EGM. As there is clearly substantial support amongst the voting members, and plenty of scope to improve the detail of the offer to make it more attractive, I would not be surprised to see this on the agenda before too long.

[Gerry Armstrong]

I don't think so - you can't lease something to someone for 15 years that you don't own!!

the substantial support could be to not letting nobody have controling intrest but atleast this shows the majority wants to hand it over question is would davison have the same sort of support barry had after todays no show i think not.
