Intro

Hello Everyone, and welcome to ryan147.com. Here I will keep all my Football and Snooker trips and other information together.

2009 WORLD SNOOKER 18th April 097

A little bit about me for those that dont know me. My name is Ryan , I am 14 years old and live in Sheffield. I made this site because I wanted to share all my snooker and football pictures with everyone on the way to my mission to meet all 96 professional snooker players and visit all 92 english league grounds.

Finally a MASSIVE thank you to Matt at Pro Snooker Blog for all his help in setting the site up and my Dad (Mark Watterson) for taking me everywhere and taking all the photos.

I hope you all enjoy looking round the site and come back time and time again

Thank you,

Ryan

What a nice father you have to take you around! It’s good to see so many young people such as yourself taking an interest in the sport. You’re lacking photos from International events. Next time, I will take you to China =) LOL.

Hi Ryan,

I love your site (which referred from TSF as I browsed on the www for more info re Pro Challenge Series). Actually I am planning to watch the tournament in Leeds all the way from Hong Kong, too bad that this is the only active tournament during my time in England. I just finished watching one local tournament in HK last week as Ricky won over Liang Wenbo. See if we can meet up and chat a bit at Northern Snooker Centre. I will arrive on the 28th.

Great to see an updated picture of my hearthrob from the 1980′s Tony Knowles, he still handsome, thanks for posting. Great site btw.
I used to go to Sheffield, every year in the 80′s early 90′s but when Tony faded away; so did I. If you see him; tell him I still think he is handsome at 54!
GREAT PIC OF HIM.
THANKS, MADE BY DAY.

Greeting from the Netherlands!
I’m a low-key lady football fan (watch more at International level, Love the World Cup) and like to watch a really good game where the football is stunning more than just supporting one particular team.
To your Dad: excellent to encourage your son and provide the transport, two cool dudes. Ryan, Very cool that you show photos of the Grounds that you visit, keep on blogging, you made me smile and you are doing great!
regards, kiwidutch.

Hi Ryan,

This is an excellent site! Keep it up.

I used to be a sports journalist and I reckon you’re heading in the same direction…or maybe a commentator?? It’s great to see a piece of work by a bright young man who can spell and gets his grammar right!

Fantastic. Have a great time on your sports travels.

Hi Ryan,

I came across your fantastic website while searching for images of the new Chesterfield ground. I’m a lecturer in Media Production at Chesterfield College. We could do with students like yourself on the media production courses we run. I noticed that you are 14, so you must be thinking about your options. Have you thought of going for a career in media/media production?

Check out the college website and media prospectus. Send me an email if you want anymore information.

Cheers,

Tom Bell.

Hi Ryan, nice website. We need more switched-on teenagers such as yourself and it’s refreshing to hear of a 14 year old doing something so constructive with his time. Keep up the good work!

Do you play snooker or pool yourself? I belong to the local pool league here on the Isle of Man. I play several times a week, even off-season.

Good luck with your budding career in sports journalism – you’re doing great so far!

Ann
