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
I'm sure a good few years ago Hendry & others were ambassadors for snooker & travelled to China ���� to promote snooker. Given that the Chinese now have players competing at the world's that will elevate the sport 100 fold.

It was a similar scenario when James Wattana was playing, most of Thailand came to a standstill when he was playing.
