AkaTrigger you may be waiting a long time, did you refuse his friend request on here? :) Paul

I think it's a fantastic idea and would love to be there. Unfortunately in the current climate I just think $2,500 plus travel is a bit steep. As many people have mentioned earlier it maybe that positioning this at an event that is already taking place maybe a better alternative and you maybe...

Djay Good to hear you will be going to the Cup, we will be in London just for the 4 days of the Mosconi because we will be staying with my parents down on the South Coast before that. Not sure we will have time for any Pool ourselves unfortunately, because we will also be doing some sightseeing...

Bob Thanks more good information for people travelling to London. If anyone wants any further information, drop me a PM or respond to this post and I'll get what I can from my family and friends over there for you. Thanks..............Paul

Kimmo Sorry I do not know the answer to that one, maybe you could drop an email to Matchroom via their website. I do know that a guy who has a shop doing Pool supplies in the UK will be attending, his website is www.pro9.co.uk/html/theproshop/main.php He also posts here as pro9dg you could...

A Couple of people have asked about the best way to pay for things and how to take money etc so I thought I would post what I prefer here on the board. 1. Credit Cards - Always check your card for Foreign Purchase Fees, they can add 3% or so to any purchase. I know for instance Capitol One has...

I would think all travel is paid for too as all players stay in the same hotel, go out on same flight etc etc. The hotel is pretty expensive too although I am sure Matchroom worked out a deal with them.

Good question. Would I sell a 'Monster Player'? The answer has to be only if I really needed the money or I had an even bigger 'Monster".

I have no idea what I am doing in this thread, just I'm on lunch and it's something to do. I would agree with the statement that something is worth what someone will pay for it, thats obvious. Will that person be screwed for paying $22,500, they would say no, most everyone else would say yes...

I always prefer one in my case, I do not like things hanging from the outside. Also the ones with metal rings or eyelets will eventually rust to some degree because I do wash them every couple of weeks. In all my years playing Snooker and now Pool I have yet to actually pay for one though, as I...

We can actually get a bit of stuff in our local Publix supermarket now, they stock Salad Cream, Branston Pickle, Mushy Peas, Custard, Colemans Mustard, Pataks Curry Sauces, McVities, Cadburys, Galaxy and a few other things. Nice not having to go to a specialist store and pay out the wazooo for...

OK I am now going to start another thread on this, about how the bottom half of the draw looks really tough as Poland beat the USA :shrug: WTF

I would agree that the top half of the draw may, on paper, look a little tougher than the bottom half but you have to also remember this is Doubles play, not singles. I really don't believe Matchroom would have any reason to fix the draw or seedings to give the Phillipines A Team, what in your...

OMG - I don't believe anyones going to start with the conspiracy theories on a Pool Tournament :grin: to rob the Phillipines of victory. If they'd played well enough they would have won, they didn't they are out, end of story surely. I really don't think Matchroom have a preference for who wins...

Good interview thanks for posting it. We met Stevie for the first time at this years Gem City and he is an absolute Gentelman, he even remembered our names and said hello the next day. I really hope he plays well at the US Open and would love to see him go on and maybe even win it. I have a...

Yes the US sent a team, it's Johnny and Rodney. As for the seedings they look OK to me, how you would have seeded them? What specifically do you think is wrong with them and why and how do you think the seedings were done to give the Phillipines less chance? Having Phillipines 1 & 2 in...

Snooker has been like this for a lot of years and unfortunately they never seem to get to the bottom of it or be able to stop it. I don't know how much of the tape was doctored or changed (whatever) if at all, it's just another big cock up all round. I remember a few other betting scandals in...

Johnny a man after my own heart, I love it. I absolutely cannot understand anyone paying full price for anything, I piss the wife off because I even ask for a discount in Walmart! I got $50 off a small flat screen TV just by asking, what can they say, only Yes or No, right?

I hate you :) Actually we already have our flight booked for December as we are going to the Mosconi Cup in London and will also be staying with my parents in Newhaven, East Sussex before that. I am looking forward to my Dad's breakfast, Sausage or Bacon, Black Pudding, Egg and Toast. I have...

IMHO there is no question it should be the Schon.
