About

About Pro Snooker Blog

Born in August 2008, Pro Snooker Blog is my attempt to try to provide fans of snooker across the world with the latest information as to what is happening within the game, either from myself or from others in the know. For many years I have felt that snooker is a sport that has not received the media attention that it has deserved and hopefully in some small way I can plug the gap that exists there!

That said, there are a few exceptions to that rule, for example David Hendon’s Snooker Scene Blog, but to the more mainstream snooker fans in the world even sites such as these are not necessarily known.

As a result therefore I hope that this site can operate as a sort of ‘one stop shop’ where people can access everything they need which relates to snooker, even if it doesn’t necessarily come from me directly!

Finally I must stress that this site has no connection with the WPBSA or anyone working for the organisation.

Contact Information/Suggestions

If anyone wishes to contact me about anything relating to the site then please do by either leaving a comment on this page or by emailing me at prosnookerblog@gmail.com if that would be better.

If you spot any errors or inaccuracies anywhere on the website (doing player profiles in the early hours of the morning lends itself to typos!) then please do let me know and I will correct them immediately.

Credit for external sources and material

Currently many of photos that I have used on this website are my own but if anyone would be kind enough to let me use images for the players that I do not have photos of, full credit would of course be given if requested. The same applies to any other articles that I mention in the blog. Special thanks to Janie Watkins for the extensive library of photos that she has kindly let me use.

Also note that this website is developed and therefore best used in Firefox.

    Do u have a fetish for the word “however”? ;-) A little bit more seriously: i love this site. You did a hell of a job with the player info – just great. Even better than world snooker. The only thing i miss, is the price money on each player. Maybe u could include that later. Keep up the good work.

    Thanks, yeah I do end up using that a lot, always did at Uni in essays as well!

    The prize money is tough as it would be hard to keep up to date for all the players and to be honest I’m not sure I could find out how much they have all earned over the years. I’ll bear it in mind though, thanks for the suggestion.

    This is a great website and really informative. Keep up the good work, I have started a blog which links snooker and betting which is proving to be quite popular. I wondered whether we might exchange links? My blog is snookerbacker.wordpress.com – feel free to take a look at the archive.

    Thanks!

    Hi Matt,

    Are you aware of the ongoing problems in viewing your pages for Sky Broadband users in the UK? If not just check out the support forums at WordPress, it is becoming something of a hot topic.

    All the best

    Cheers for the heads up.

    Hi Paul, cheers.

    You see underneath the box where you type in your comment there is a little checkbox that says “notify me of new posts via email”. If you tick that it should work.

    Hey Matt,

    Great work here.

    A bit of advice I’m after really, the banners that you have up on the right hand side of your pages, how did you get them on here?

    I’m assuming you are a wordpress user?

    If you get a chance could you possibly email me at snookerbacker@hotmail.com ? Just need a couple of bits of advice.

    Much appreciated and keep up the great work.

    Hi
    My name’s Andy and I’m in Devon, I am nuts about snooker, have been
    since I was in my early teens, I am 43 now. I watch all the
    tournaments, on Eurosport and BBC, and folow the rest on the web. I’m
    going to the Legends event in Plymouth in July. Then the Premier
    League in September.

    Love your blog and check it on my iphone daily. Keep up the good work!
    Is it possible to become a member for email updates etc?

    Thanks
