Snooker Scene

Everton was editor until he retired in September 2022; the following month, it was announced that the magazine would be returning under new owners, Curtis Sport.

Following his sacking, Everton established his own magazine, World Snooker,[4]: 16–17 : 44–45  which printed and sold 3,000 copies of its first issue published in January 1971.

[14] Everton has said of Snooker Scene: "I had started this as a simple journal of record of what was happening on the table, but it became a crusading vehicle … Taking Wisden and Private Eye as our models we sometimes made our point through hard reporting, sometimes through satire.

[16] Metcalfe brought a number of writers into the team, including Phil Haigh, David Hendon, Michael McMullan and Annette Lord.

The other current writers are Phil Yates, Annette Lord, Jonathan Davies, Stuart Pike and James Lodge.
