Snooker clubs in general and Rileys in particular
Just got back from a two weeker in the Uk with my family and I had the opportunity to get in a few frames.
Just thought I'd comment on the sprucing up that Rileys has been given, at least at the Victoria venue. Admittedly there isn't so much snooker space, only 5 tables, but business is business, with the rest given over to pub pool, American pool and darts + numerous TV screeens, but the table I played on was running beautifully and the numerous glasses I was drinking out of were actually clean!
I was impressed, long way when most of the Rileys boasted the worst tables, coffee cups you wouldn't give yer mother in law to drink from and annually cleaned beer pipes..
Mind you I know the smoke isn't the cheapest place to do anything in but the base rate is 12 quid unless you do a deal (I got 4 hours for 25 quid) plus the visitors fee.
Nice to see the improvement though and if anyone's interested yes I won 8-2, top break 54, which I was reasonably satisfied with considering my struggle to see to the end of the table width...
Snooker on the up.
