Snooker denys cash crisis
Krustov
Does the official snooker website still insist that users register in
order to read about snooker ? .
Does the official snooker sporting body still not give a fuck about how
snooker is presented to viewers .
White line man is a good example of that as its clear hes more
interested in his own self inflated ego that what the viewers at home do
or dont want - or think .
The use of the replay machine - for even a fucking simple missed red .
Hawkeye being used because most of the commentators are brain dead
retards who have got fat and lazy - and use hawkeye rather than trying
to explain the shot in speech .
Some arsehole artist doing a painting of the event - dear gaud - who
gives a fuck and who the fuck is the slightest bit fucking interested .
The recent 'treat the viewers' like lobotomised cattle by doing popup
banners that says stuff (2nd attempt) or (the winner of this match will
play whoever) .
To sum up .....
Snooker coverage on tv should be a pleasure to watch - not a pain .

BTW: the english mentality never seems to change
40 odd years ago Honda introduced a mototcycle called the CB750 to the
uk market .
The engine was a inline 4 pot that had a electric start and it started
first turn regardless of weather conditions - it also went like the
proverbial bastard .
Some people argued that it was like a quantum leap in motorcycle design
as it set the new standard .
40 odds years ago the triumphs and nortons still needed a tray
underneath the engine to catch the oil drips .
But despite everything , The british bike management went on record as
saying summit like 'the CB750 wont appeal to the british rider' .
Yes folks - the bury your head in the attitude meant that triumph and
norton both went bust x amount of years later .
So , Can the sport of snooker really afford to piss off and alienate
viewers by continuing to provide tv coverage that sucks! .

Probably. The cunts.

Replays are good, you really miss them when you're watching it in
person. Have you ever been to a live snooker tournament? Thought not.

Hawkeye isn't that bad. I mean, how often do they use it? No more than
once every 3 or 4 frames.

The guy is exceedingly talented. But I'm so sure that you could do
better in MS Paint.

I'll agree with you on that.

It *is* a pleasure to watch.

Most snooker fans probably havent - methinks your just as brain dead and
retarded as those cunts .

Erm... no. What I do know is that you don't realise how entertaining
replays are until you don't have them.

What??

If I agreed with everything you said then there'd be no point in
posting. Newsgroups are for DISCUSSION. Heaven forbid that someone might
have views that differ from your own.
Seeing as you despise BBC snooker coverage so much, you won't be
watching any of it this coming season, will you?

Why do you have to contribute profanities to a logic discussion. If
you own this discussion forum then I would guess that its life will be
short. Swearing is the language of the mentally challenged and of
those whose vocabulary is in adequate. If you wish to be a moderator
or whatever function you purport to ascribe to, then perhaps you
should aspire to a reasonability of tone and temperament. If not, then
I guess that you expose yourself and your argument as simplistic and
cretinous in the extreme. If your response to this contains F*** and
C*** then I guess the point is proved.

Look ya fucking cunt - theres only a small handful of bastards who read
this newsgroup - so if a couple of pricks are offended by use of the
forbidden words - then the pricks should use a fucking bastard cunting
kill filter .

I don't mind the cursing, but the pointless bullying is just pathetic.
It's OK, DAL, he's Scottish. They're a strange bunch, and I should know,
I went out with one. They drink too much.

DAL hasnt said one single word about snooker on this newsgroup .
He only appears to be interested in nice or bad fucking language .
Isnt it good how somebody who never actually posts any ON TOPIC stuff to
the newsgroup 'trys' to dictate what other users can and cant say .
BTW: i've no objection to your racist scottish rant - for usenet gives
everybody the same freedom of speech rights - and at least you have
talked about snooker in the past on this newsgroup .

You have said that several times before - so obviously you cant work
your kill filter very good .

At least he's trying to try and get people to be nice to each other.

You seem to use this newsgroup as a continuation of your anti-BBC rants
on uk.media.tv.misc.
FWIW I like Scottish people. I have nothing against them.

Good Morning
So lets talk about snooker...........
The professional game is shrinking to an elite core. Since the late
80's and early 90's when WPBSA opened the game and milked a
considerable amount of money from the amateurs who wanted a go at
being professional, the main tour has reduced virtually every year to
what is now only a secure 64. These are bouyed up by another 32 from
around the world with qualifiers at Pontins and the Sheffield Academy.
This reducing and difficult to enter elite have in marjketing terms a
reducing customer base, which is why, I believe, that the sponsors are
moving their focus. The influx of new and raw talent has diminished to
such a degree that the same old faces keep appearing and even the few
characters are behaving or misbehaving in predictable fashion. Without
the sponsorship and razzamataz that was once World Snooker, I believe
that television will begin to count its audience figures and
consequently reduce its transmission hours.
The only ray of light for World Snooker is the growing Asian
contingent and WS may survive on eastern fervour. In England, I think
the future lies with the amateur game. The tournament structure in
England has increased significantly in the last 2-3 years and there
are far more opportunities for players to compete overseas on the
amateur ticket. It would be nice and I think ultimately likely that a
major sponsor will catch onto the progress of the amateur game and
make it possible for the better players to earn a living from the
sport without joining WPBSA.
Any comments?
DAL
once again a positive step to gain income from sponsorship.
The only way the game of snooker will survive is by inputs of cash
from outside of the game. The marketing people of industry are
interested only in their target audience and the key to gaining their
attention is to have a large membership.
The easy way to gain members is to have people sign in via a website
and you can legitimately call them members. This helps to get the
sponsorship, so I would hope that people would not mind taking the few
seconds that it takes to register.
It may be the difference between success and failure of the game in
all areas, so personally I don't mind registering.

You have a very good point (and I'm not just saying that to disagree
with Krustov). At least if World Snooker has membership figures for its
website then that gives them some hard statistics to give to potential
sponsors. Of course, only the hardcore fans will sign up to the website,
there will be many times more people who are casual snooker fans.

I might register sometime, as long as they won't send me newsletters.

Does he fuck .
Server logs are a much better guide as to how much or how little the
website is used .
1,000,000 email registrations mean jack shit if most people only
register to read a couple of storys and never come back to surf the
website .
Saying 1,000,000 email registrations means 1,000,000 people use the
website on a regular basis would be nothing less that fraud .
