Could be worse: he could pick Rob Cross two weeks in a row

Touché.

Put it this way: even if it turns out the original story was correct, the subsequent behaviour of GameOnDarts once Deller got on his hind legs suggests they didn't actually have a clue whether what they were publishing was correct or not. So how likely are they to be taken seriously with anything t...

then completely ignore this place himself, .

It's about time for him to turn up to inform us that this Nathan Aspinall may be someone worth paying attention to.

Why, would he be likely to do something to phil that the DRA would be interested in?

Keyword GET TRANSFERS on Compuserve, obviously.

All in all, darts has two issues here: Lots of players managing to stay effective as full-time professionals to relatively old ages, and not enough depth for a full-fledged senior tour among those who don't manage that. Golf's senior tours start at age 50, and that works pretty well there - basicall...

45-year-old Colin Lloyd being touted as a senior player, there.

Am I the only one who's wondering who Darts Australia's big new sponsor "Asset 180 Holdings" actually is?

Will Fabulous February end with 2 x £100 (?) fines for late submitting?

The fine's that low? That's mega cheappppp.

"Torromolinos", okay.

This tournament weekend takes place at the same time as Players Championships and European Tour qualifiers. Anyway, the tournament website originally said that tour card holders are still banned. They'd scrubbed that blurb from the tournament rules page while updating it for 2019, but forgot about t...

Heads would explode if the PDC ever decided to make the Grand Prix non-ranking because it doesn't fit in with the 501 SIDO nature of the rest of the ranking tournament calendar.

To summarize: The Grand Prix location is nothing special (unlike the Matchplay), the audience is not exactly known for creating a great atmosphere (unlike the Matchplay), the tournament format doesn't appear to be all that well-liked by the players (unlike the...World Cup!) - yeah, how could people ...

None of which are at all relevant for how much prestige players attach to competing in it and winning it. You're really grasping at straws here.

Well, here's a potential reason: Do any players not named Brendan Dolan actually like the Grand Prix tournament format all that much? I don't really recall its praises being sung by the only people who matter for "prestige" determinations.

How exactly the PL is a non ranking event and essentially a big long exhibition tour many many players would prefer to win an actual ranking event as it would offer them greater benefits going forward in their career. Your entire argument against the PL's status is that players only want to win it ...

The PL is a major. One of the triple crown if you like. In the same way as the Masters is in Snooker. Not that I watch it particularly , but that's how it's perceived in the game amongst the players. Definitely one they want to win alongside the Worlds and matchplay Nope they just want to win it as...

12k for each of the nine games?
