Re: Welsh open 2014

I would be amazed if it got more than a 100 or 2 viewers in Germany. First it was on a pay channel, I can`t think of anyone I know in Germany that pays for Eurosport 2, second and probably more important it clashed with the cup final between Bayern and Dortmund which was on a free channel

Re: BDO Full Council Meeting

So it's the BDO who will prevent him from fulfilling his contractual obligations I could be wrong ( it wouldn`t be the first time ) but doesn`t ( or didn`t ) the pdpa contract prevent members playing in any televised steel dart event that has the word `World` in it? Other than ones organised by the...

Re: Jeffrey de Graaf wins Finnish Open

Good prize money but don`t forget the cost of everything in Finland. The Scandinavian countries rate as one of the highest if not the highest in the world when it comes to a pint of beer. Food and hotels are also expensive compared to many countries. The quarter final pay out in Finland for someone ...

Re: Munsterland Open

Is that something the pdc are thinking about tony? I think Deta and Ana and a few others could easy pick up a few quid on the challenge tour and the odd win on the main tour. But why would they switch? They're already playing in tournaments whose prize funds are often heavily subsidized. ;) Subsidi...

Yes it was and as it happens Ando took out 140 going t20 tops tops in that great game to win I think. It was the Welsh Open, 1 set each and Thornton 1 leg up in the 3rd set, ando hit 140 shot to make it 1 -- 1, went on to win it 3 - 2 in the 3rd set. I have no idea where I would be without you John...

Re: The "Name the 250 events the BDO run" thread (ex. Lakesi

Sure, that didn't work out, but it's hard to blame the BDO for Setanta (or ESPN) not having a viable business model. No but you can blame the BDO for the abominations that were shown by them. If the product had been of a marketable desirable standard then someone else would of taken up the TV right...

Re: The "Name the 250 events the BDO run" thread (ex. Lakesi

Interesting that people choose to take a few words out of a press release and twist it any which way but loose. This notification was from BDO Events and not the BDO, and it does not say 250 events annually. What it actually says is that it is a new `multi year ` deal, to cover 250 tournaments organ...

Re: Hal Open Darts 22/23rd March Venray, Limburg

Marco Pol is the Chairman of our local darts league. Or was. Haven't played in it for a few years. He also took a few high profile scalps in the singles World Darts Event in 2006 (I think). Eurosport covered it but he went out in the semi on the tv stage bit. Gerwen won it against King. Picture fro...

Re: Stephen Bunting

There are only 2 players in the world definitely better than Bunting at this moment in time. 3 at a push. Top 16 is already a foregone conclusion. This is his statement. As ridiculous a claim as i have ever read from him and he has made some ludicrous statements I venture to say there are more than...
