Snookers governing body is not doing enough to encourage ethnic minorities to take up the sport, the games only black professional player has claimed.World No.52 Rory McLeod hit out at the lack of diversity at an amateur level and accused World Snooker of being more interested in the glamour of major events than growing the sports reach.What World Snooker are bothered about is the prize money and sponsors. That is it, McLeod told the BBC. You need black people in the snooker clubs for starters]Parents are pushing their children towards an education rather than telling them to be a professional snooker player.There is a lot of moving around in snooker, too. You have to travel and stay over at places. If you dont have money for that then you cant do it.There could be a lot more [black players] but the opportunities are not there. Most snooker players have money and support behind them, to have that in the snooker business for black people is not something that exists.McLeod, 45, spent a decade on a secondary tour on which another black player, John Clouden, also appeared in 1994 and 1995, but snooker is yet to see any other black professionals.World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association chairman Jason Ferguson defended his organisations record of promoting the sport and insisted snooker was working hard to improve participation levels outside snookers heartland.We have equal opportunities in the sport and there are no boundaries for participation, he said. If you are good enough, you can make it on the tour.We need to reach out to those areas in the world that we are not yet there. Africa is one of those we are working on right now.

Sydney chief executive Andrew Ireland has hailed the news the Swans will play this seasons AFL home finals matches at the SCG, unless they host a derby against cross-town rivals Greater Western Sydney.The Swans were contracted to play home finals matches this year at ANZ Stadium, but the AFL have reached an agreement with the venues management for finals against non-Sydney teams to be played at the SCG.AFL chief Gillon McLachlan said ANZ Stadium management and his organisation agreed it was in the best interests of Swans fans that the club played its finals at the SCG, unless they hosted GWS.ANZ Stadium can accommodate about 35,000 more patrons than the SCG.This is a win-win for both parties, with ANZ Stadium members having access to any Swans final played at the SCG and the Sydney fans being able to see their team play at the venue where they have so far played all matches through the 2016 season, McLachlan said.If the finals fixture produces a head-to-head match between the Swans and the Giants, this would possibly be the biggest game in NSW in the history of our sport and we would play that game at ANZ Stadium.The Swans havent played a finals game at the SCG for 11 years since their dramatic semi-final win over Geelong.Since thenn they have played eight finals matches at ANZ Stadium, winning the first seven before losing to North Melbourne in 2015, though more than half the games drew crowds smaller than the SCGs capacity.ddddddddddddWere really pleased with todays decision to move finals matches to the SCG because we know the preference of our members and supporters is to play finals at our home ground, Ireland said.Sydney have played at least three games a year at ANZ Stadium since 2002.They were scheduled to play three home games there outside finals in 2016, but an agreement was reached earlier in the year to shift those fixtures to the SCG, with ANZ Stadium members getting access to three matches at that venue in each of 2016, 17 and 18.It goes to the heart of our 14-year relationship that ANZ Stadiums valued members will have the opportunity to attend any Sydney Swans Finals matches scheduled at the SCG, ANZ Stadium chief executive officer Daryl Kerry said.He added if there was an all-Sydney final at his stadium, it would be fitting farewell to the code at the venue, which will soon be redeveloped into a rectangular shape.
