Do you think there will be more ranking events added in the foreseeable future or do you think World Snooker is happy with the current amount?
I'd like to see another in Ireland (Republic). Surely there's a need for another ranking event to replace the Shanghai Masters which by turning invitational has left loads of players lower down the food chain out of pocket?
Come on Barry, make it happen

Barry Hearn stated at the World Championship that there would be more ranking events with the Middle east a possibility. I think there is room in the calendar next year if they scrap events like Gibraltar etc. I would also like to see the Irish Masters return to Goffs but i assume the sticking point is getting RTE on board and a sponsor.

There'd be plenty of space in the calendar if they scrapped the Championship League.

Quality before quantity. Some of the marmite served up at the minute is a disgrace for a 'professional' sport.

Plenty of room in the calendar without scrapping the CL.There was no snooks from May until July remember. No need for two months off like that
