From playing in my youth against Hendry & co to watching every minute of it on telly in the 80s 90s 00s.
It just doesn't have the same appeal to me.
Sadly no characters left in the sport apart from Ronnie & Judd.
Also given that it has taken to the 1/4s before a post was started says to me its a spectator sport that has been on the decline for years..
In the uk...


Viewing figures were massive in the 80s, although there was only 4 channels so everything was huge that was on TV. Figures dipped to the lowest about 5 years ago but are rising again. But all that is just the uk, viewing figures worldwide now dwarf what they were in the 80s. 300 million in China watched last years tournament, 60 million for the final.

I think eventually the world's will move over there
