I fully support the idea to have Reanne competing on the MT if she can.

The more she exposes herself and her extraordinary talent the better.
It doesn't take a lot for impressionable young girls to see another option other than "pony".
"Please, Mum and Dad, can I have a cue [ like Reanne's ]?".

Role model needed!

I think your right Noel. Its only the narrow minded who would see it any other way. Don't be surprised to see the lady take a few scalps either. Here's hoping eh....?

Alison Fisher took out some top 16 players in her time on tour.

but she gave up far to soon only played pro snooker for 4 years had shaun murphy gave up after 4 years he would have finished as World no 70+ .

Hearn did it with darts and he was right to do it here. I do hope Reanne can keep her place on the tour which would be a massive achievement.


"post of the day" <ok>

Yet again yous fail to grasp the logic of my argument.

Women golfers have their own tour because females cannot fairly compete against men as golf is a PHYSICAL sport <doh>

Monique wrote:@witz ... nobody in WLBSA has asked for WPBSA to look after the ladies to start with. That's a debate fans started. So your attack is without object. Nobody neither is demanding for positive discrimination but, yes, we are demanding that negative discrimination stops. We are demanding that girls are not excluded from some (too many) clubs, that when teenagers girls come to learn the game they are not regarded a priori as inferior, that they are not mocked or sexually hassled, that boys don't refuse to play against them and that when they do they treat them like opponents not dolls ...
All that discourages girls to play or to continue to play when they are teenagers. Also parents knowing there is little future for girls in the game (or at least perceiving it this way) don't support them most of the time (Mark here is a great exception).
So with small number of girls playing and very little support it's no wonder the standard isn't great.


It wasnt an attack of sorts, it was just my personal viewpoint and my back up to Stalins responses.

Im fully in agreement with you that snooker clubs should be welcoming to females, infact if more women played snooker, im sure more guys would go to play snooker too...... ;)
