Evening all, I知 looking at running some comps around the country under the Total9ball Banner. I知 looking to see what options there are club wise in England. I知 aware that Barnsley Rileys, Mickeys and St Albans are quality clubs but other than these where can players recommend? bearing in mind your help with feedback may bring some T9B events to your local club. The Information I will require about the clubs are the quality of the tables and number of 9ball tables the club has. If possible please include the managers name and club telephone number as well. Leicester? Birmingham? Liverpool Wavetree? Nottingham? Watford? Bournemouth? Worthing? Shepherds Bush? Kings Cross? Others? Thanks [ This message was edited by: wildman147 on 2012-09-06 22:29 ]

Thanks I have deja vu that I've answered this for you before but anyway here goes... RACK N ROLL Rack N Roll has 8 tables. Most tables are to a reasonable club standard although 2 of them are not great due to cushions being inconsistent, and one table just being really pingy. K Steel match table which plays good, just been reclothed with Simonis 760. The manager is Dave Edwards - 0116 233 4884. We do have a lot of comps ran in this club as it is but doesnt harm to ask. Which brings me to... RILEYS Q-BAR (LEICESTER) Rileys Q-Bar. They have recently reclothed and recushioned 7 tables and have 9 in total. Pockets are huge though (5.25" corners and 5.5" sides). Where the main action is it is very tight around tables, but managable. I have no idea who runs the club now, gone through more changes than Chelsea Number is 0116 253 9624 BIRMINGHAM RILEYS Birmingham Rileys is absolutely massive. They have at least 20 tables and while Ive only been in there a couple of times the tables Ive been on have played decent. A very spacious club, I'd love to see a regular comp here as it is a good club. It is also wheelchair friendly - it is one of the BWPPA venues. Its also a 24 hour club so securing an early start time shouldnt be a problem, although Id recommend any comp being on a Sunday as it is a busy club due to location in Chinatown. I dont know the managers name but the number is 0121 666 6811

The manager at Birmingham is called Damien. I used to practice there a lot before I got my own table. It's a good club, can get very busy in the winter.
