Snooker in Canada.

It keeps getting smaller here, you see less and less tables. Where you live, what is the percentage between snooker and pool now?

I'm on the other side of the river (Detroit). Most halls here have one snooker table some a ten others a twelve. Most don't see but maybe two or three groups that come in and play snooker most are just golf tables.

Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner. Liberty is a well armed lamb contesting the vote.

Hi Dandydan, I live in Windsor across from Detroit and unfortunately snooker has all but died here.
The last room with snooker tables worth going to play on closed a few months back. It was a great old time room, they promoted snooker well, they had Cliff Thorburn in for exhibitions once or twice a year and for I believe it was $50 you could play Cliff a game which they video taped and you got a copy.

Unfortuneately now there is no place in Windsor with a 12' snooker table not even a 10' very few 9' and a whole lot of barboxes.

Bar pool is very big in Windsor right now as we have several players in the VNEA hall of fame and the current VNEA masters team champions from Las Vegas are from Windsor.

Windsor " lots of skill, just no snooker"
