We also need some young British talent or we will get left behind. Not many 20 somethings from the UK on the tour.
Their nationality doesn't really bother me.
We've had generations of players mainly from Britain and Ireland. As a Brit, a player's country of origin doesn't really come into it for me when choosing who to support. Ding is one of my favourite players, I wanted Zhao to win yesterday. Quite like Robertson etc.
Maybe if we reached a point where the main tour was 99% non-Brit, I'd started supporting the one's that were. But at the moment, I actually am quite happy for the tour to become more international.
SO do I. I was just saying we need to catch up otherwise there will be very home grown players to cheer on. We don't want Snooker to go the way of Tennis!
