Shit, I didn't even know this was on! Doubt it's gonna make much difference though with the FPO in the house 24/7. I aint gonna see a match.

Power snooker's ok Frog if you just watch it for what it is. An exhibition and cash spinner that pays for some of the tour
When you actually feel anger over a place like this it's time to get a life

I much preferred the one frame shootout thing they did. Hopefully it it back on next month, that was fun, lots of close matches, running around and winning with 2 seconds left etc.
Big changes on the way ! We've heard it before but it's different this time !!!! , I believe Bdo gonna grow x

In fact that's what I'm thinking of, Nigel Bond won it didn't he?

Is this not power snooker?

No. Power Snooker involves adding bollocks like double points etc.

The Snooker Shoot Out was 64 players in Blackpool, random draw, one frame played in 10 minutes. Was great fun. Yes, Bond won.
