Hi All, Just to clarify the situation, during the WDF Annual meeting in Spain, several remits were sent in from England Scotland and Wales, concerning the structures and financial levies which were imposed on all the countries. We all had major issues right from the start, that these structures, and...

There is a long way to go on this saga, the county delegates voted for continuation, but that doesn't necessarily mean the our initiative doesn’t have merits, I have had some calls yesterday, so at this time it stays open as an option, a great deal of work went into the project, not only the financi...

England are fully on board with the initiatives the WDF want to bring in, not a matter of the begging bowl to Little Richard, it does come at a financial cost to England which we will have to source, whereas the BDO option didn't involve any financial risk, however after The World Masters and World ...

Who knows Danny what the future holds for any organisation outside the P.D.C, there are trouble times ahead of us, and lots of uncertainties to be resolved. The landscape of darts as we are accustomed to and where the future leads may greatly change. As Mr Hearn has already mentioned, and quite righ...

Just a matter of clarification, I posted on SOD because I saw the post referring to me on SOD, as I am not on the BDO mailing list. My meeting in late September which included Sportotal, where I can 100% confirm my conversation which confirmed there was no current contract with BDO and O2. If I am w...

Whilst it was inevitable that accusations would start to be thrown at everyone and anyone, and to be fair I don’t want to be party to it all, because it is pointless, the BDO is in a situation which has been orchestrated by the actions of the Board of Directors, past and present. Having attended hun...

Maybe not, I won't be loosing any sleep over it whatever, after all the hourly rate for this work hasn't changed nothing is still nothing only good will.

It will be whoever wants to join under the terms on offer, there is no point arguing about £5 here or there if the £5 here or there if it doesn't give stability going forward, that would be foolish, and a waste of everyone's time and effort. The plan is good, it is easily affordable, it gives us a p...

Send me a pm, I am not promising I will explain everything at this time, it will come out eventually, but obviously it could be a long time down the road, before anyone is in a position of setting up a County system, whether that be BDO, BDO2, us, or any individual with a bit of brass to spare, migh...

Fair comment, I can only answer by saying that the three countries trade profitably each year, they don't take on events which they know they cannot fund, they have no ambitions to stage World TV events, we all agreed to leave that with the WDF, but as you say you and everyone else has every right t...

I can assure you Bob Potter did pay Prize money, where they appear within the accounts or bundled with whatever, nevertheless he did, like you mentioned people are asking about Torromelinos and how they apply for refunds as they paid the BDO and not the hotel or a travel agent, and I am sure there a...

Bob Potter did cover the prize money every year, he didn't cover the TV production costs and never has, in years gone by this was picked up by BBC, Then Channel 4 for two years, although not sure I think Euro-Sport actually covered them this year, however the prize money for the O2 wasn't covered, w...

Thanks guys for the remarks good or bad, we will see, however not a take-over, we are not BDO 2, it is an attempt to start again with a clean sheet, maybe bring all interested parties together, a sense of reality which Counties and their players are going to have to embrace if they want to survive. ...

Can't fault your opinion, the current BDO board has not delivered that is obvious, and maybe it is time to start afresh. I am old enough to remember the demise of the NDAGB not dissimilar to where we are currently. However I believe we have a worthy product, there is a niche for us, but it does look...

This is devastating news, and I must admit I missed this when I downloaded the accounts, so unless the BDO has replaced the money they transferred there is no money to pay the BICC prize money, if they haven't repaid the monies then it indicates there is no money to pay it, with no finance coming in...

It seems a post on the Real BDO fanatics has found its way onto TSOD forum, and obviously it is a load of shite, fair play everyone is entitled to their opinion. In the real world, the world of actually negotiating prize monies of over £100,000, of attending meetings and creating extensive tender do...

I think we are all second-guessing what will happen to the BDO, is it going to continue, can they actually run and finance the three TV events or the extra ones they are now saying they have in the pipeline, and seriously, after the World Masters and World Pro is anyone going to believe them. Howeve...

Had it not been for Frank Branscombe this executive and previous ones would not have been given the green light to please themselves, giving false information as to members entitlements, which sadly some of them just took as red, because they knew no better.

You know sometimes it is no wonder that I and others don't bother posting on here. I really don't mind the crap, I really don't mind the fact that I and the rest of Lancashire trusted someone, who in turn let us down, and I don't mind reiterating the fact that I would have trusted Irene with my life...

I don't really want to be embroiled in the blame game, as I am not in a position to know about the internal running of the BDO company. I blame people like Frank Branscombe who has actively over a long period prevented the shareholders of the company (BDO) accessing information, making personal opin...
