Has anyone other than Lincolnshire openly committed to the BDO? Not from what I've seen, Yorkshire are not having a vote, from the last zoom meeting minutes, looks like Des is liked by the delegates at Notts, Staffordshire, Surrey, London, Cumbria .......I don't think West Mids are having a vote ei...

Lincolnshire Family Darts Festival still going ahead it seems. Baffling.

People wont be flying there via Jet2 anymore even if it’s still on.

Was with one of the players playing league darts tonight. As of about an hour ago he had received nothing. Even had his email inbox open and refreshed earlier checking.

Decent set up compared to previous efforts. I assume they are still to stick all the sponsor logos on it?

BDO didnt even bother to respond. Des just takes it to the next level every time. Aren't the rest of "his board" allowed to reply to emails? He makes a massive deal about being CEO when it suits. Its raining muck on the BDO at the moment. Should be front and centre answering all the grief.

Couldn’t even sign a ‘retraction’ himself. Says it all.

Sensibly targeted Facebook ads would cost relatively little and would pay for themselves if they brought a few ticket sales in. I actually offered my services to the BDO at the beginning of the year when my business was starting up as a means to add to my portfolio at the time. Got an initial ‘thank...

They assume its just going to happen after posting a few tweets on and posting on BDO FB groups that already know all the info anyways. Baffling...

Not awful designs but nothing special either. Sure I have seen that dated flaming arrow imagery on some of their competition flyers too.

Amazing achievement from ASN.

If I was Wes I’d be putting a sizeable wager on ASN just to be on the safe side and cover some of his Lakeside winnings...whatever they might end up.

Will try and find some if I can but its disappeared off my timeline. From memory though they even spelled Little Richards name wrong. First and last names. Ricgard Ashadown (sic) or something. Thought someone was just on a wind up.

Any idea of what the prize fund is or is that under lock and key aswell? Do the players even know? Nope as Tony M confirmed this morning. Prize fund same as last year I have been told tonight as Ana seen the Programme. Whoever has proof read the programme needs shooting. Can’t even spell the ladies...

The 9 darter is still to allude me sadly. A few 10 darters over the years. Closest I ever got was in practice when I thought I had actually hit it. 180, 180, 60, 45 and 36 right in the middle. On closer inspection though the treble 15 was the other side of the wire in the treble 10. Urgh...

Still going as it is but a slow and painful death all the while the BDO keeps insisting it has a commercially viable ‘top end’.

Its a complete mess. If it isn’t full on civil war after the AGM I’ll be amazed.

Ross Theboss Montgomery Is this the guy that manages players in the PDC :banghead: By that reckoning then any ‘outsider’ with experience in the darts market will be greeted with the same criticism if they offer themselves up. Can’t have any connection with our ‘competitors’ now can we. As an aside ...

Liking the phrase ‘competitor’ being banded around again when referring to the PDC. That ship has long long since sailed, which has been part of the problem in the BDO over the last 5-10 years.

He didn’t tag Stuart Bingham this time. Disappointed.

I’m hoping that the Country officials what play in this ranking system talk to the governing body of Darts the WDF and ask them to step up and take over ! fitton speaking his mind on real fanatics. i cant wait for the WDF meeting in September... Does anything ever happen at them? In reality what co...
