Snooker Clubs?

Wow. Where did they all go?

Back in the 80s there were at least 2 nice places in a decent sized town.

Now the few that I've been able to find in SW London are combined with some other shite like pool or some other such nonsense.

After having watched a bit on telly the last few days I've been thinking it would be really nice to join one not too far away and enjoy a relaxing few frames once or twice a week.

It's all that bloody Nintendo's fault I reckon!

Theres one in Camberwell, at least there was about 4 years ago.
It's a bit grim though.

Used to go to a pool club myself years ago, was a lot of fun. I think when we stopped going the guy probably went bankrupt as it was practically empty.

Now we all play 3D pool or snooker over the internet??

Used to spend far too much time in here http://www.chiswicksnooker.co.uk/ a few years back; haven't been in there for a while - let my membership lapse, but by all accounts it's still a great little club and the pool section is kept completely separate from the main Snooker hall - keeping the braying oiks out nicely!

Used to get weed from the snooker club in Lewisham. Scary.

There are two within walking distance of me in Edinburgh. Everyone knows American pool is better though.

Snooker is fine, but Nine ball is a real man's game.

There's a Rileys in Guildford, we sometimes use it for work socials. It has a couple of snooker tables in a private room, but it's mostly pool.

Riley's in GLoucester is my local, trades under it's previous name of Suzy Q's. It's not bad, pretty cheap, Â£12 for all night. 15 snooker tables, 4 American 9-ball tables and 6 UK pool tables.

Probably be up there tonight actually

We've got a snooker clulb with twelve tables in Consett, which I'm a member of. It's pretty decent. I haven't been there for a while, actually. About time I was.

Right at the top of my street, that. You wouldn't believe the amount of kids hanging around the door of an evening, waiting for a lift home from Mammy and Daddy. It must be like a catholic youth club in there 'round 8pm.

Is it?

One of those kids would have been me, 20 years ago. Actually no, it wouldn't, coz we just used to walk home.

I've only been once since I re-joined, which is a bit of a waste, really.
