The rise and fall of Plymouth's snooker halls

http://www.plymouthherald.co.uk/the...9491059-detail/story.html#WQqecm8PGuHbIjmx.01

So that's the news from down south . :(

Up north here in Clydebank , I walked down Kilbowie Road , Clydebank . The La Scala Cinema Hall that became The Crucible Snooker Hall and I stopped to speak to a dude who was taking photograph's of the building for prosperity sakes . We both thought it was a listed Building but the demolishers are in and soon it will be gone .

So many memories from inside that building , from queuing up to see Movies as a kid (The queue to get into see the Movie Grease was massive!}

The Willie Thorne Exhibition night was great !

The best night of all was when I went for a few frames of Snooker with my mate Andy Martin . We had a few frames of Snooker and a few beers , when it was all over he looked at me and I looked at him and it's ,"How much money have you got mate because I'm skint "

I said "£2 odds mate lol !"

Andy said ,"Give me it , I'll gamble it on the fruit machine , it's either that or we are washing the dishes tonight !"

Go for it Andy I said as I didn't fancy washing the dishes that night and quite fancied a pint of Lager.....

I dunno how fruit machines work but Andy somehow turned the £2 into a profit that payed for the table time + a few beers afterwards . Yes , that was a great night indeed ! :smile::cool::thumbup:

Demolition of iconic La Scala cinema begins to make way for housing development

http://www.clydebankpost.co.uk/news...a_begins_to_make_way_for_housing_development/

One night , bored outta my skull I looked at my Snooker Hall Memberships and thought I better grab my cue and head to The Crucible for a few frames and renew my membership . I got to the door , the place was shut down , couldn't believe it so I headed to The Lucky Break I said to John Rae how comes your in here and what happened up the road at The Crucible ? The Crucible shut down mate and I'm in here now at The Lucky Break , that's life mate .

Time passes , think I need a line up at Da Bookies to get back to The Lucky Break . Hopefully sometime soon ! :rolleyes::smile::D:thumbup:

Well, that would have made "cleaning the White" during a match interesting.

This operation has affected Jimmy's sleeping pattern....
...he now takes directional naps.
