Hi Pro9'ers,
I am thinking of picking up the old cue again after several years of no play. Just wondering where people play nowadays. I have just visited Riley's website and all the clubs that were open a few years ago are all closed down now!
I am looking for a club that has 9 ball tables (American) in and around Manchester. Also looking for people who are decent players who want to practice several times a week. I used to be a decent player back in the day, and I am thinking of getting up to level and compete in the GB9 next year.

Yeah cool, I have seen that event. I am not even considering GB9 right now. I haven't played for several years.
Any people form around Manchester that know of a club with American pool tables?

What's the pool scene like here in England. Do you guys have evening tournaments running? Weekend tournaments when GB9 is not running? Are things similar like in the States? If not, why is that? What's the amateur scene like. Over in the States they have tourny's running almost every night in most states? [ This message was edited by: 9ballkiller on 2015-10-21 18:18 ]

For the size of Manchester and considering they have 0 tournaments or pool clubs, really makes me wonder. We need tournaments to develop and get better at the game. They are also great fun. [ This message was edited by: 9ballkiller on 2015-10-22 20:37 ]

Found this so far, its in Oldham but the table prices are great value. http://hillbilliessnooker.co.uk/wordpress/ £5 all day. Edit: Just rang up, they only have 1 American but still only £5 a day. Some snooker clubs in Manchester that have a few pool tables too. Like Steven Charles. [ This message was edited by: 9ballkiller on 2015-10-22 21:53 ]

Based in Manchester my friend. How do you go about playing pool then? I've not played since I moved up here about 4 years ago. Only really play now when I go back down south to visit friends and family
