Pub game or olympic sport...?

It would change things up - who would do well in a totally 'dry' environment when the pressure was on?

Now I know darts is a pub game etc... But with people talking about trying to get darts in the olympics, it's funny there's a thread about the darts org should make alcoholic drinks cheaper at their tournaments for the players. People outside of darts might think it's crazy that people 'at work' (as...

apart from a bit of name calling (and 'tosser' is probably the least most of us here have been called :-) ) - hats off to Lincs. Reading their full announcement and follow-ups, pretty amazing how they are offering to support their players. Must be doing something right that the BDO board could learn...

haha biggest surprise in darts today.. me posting :-) so I buy a ticket thinking I'll support a BDO comp - and starting to wonder if it will happen. hell I don't mind being the only fan there as long as I get to watching some darts and a few free beers. although if only Carling I may have to take my...

Yep I got one yesterday, through ticketmaster, and did self print to save 2 or 3 quid postage.

Devon Petersen back over from South Africa to give the tour a go again after taking a break after an injury. Lovely lad, and always goes down a storm when he gets to TV events.

Hello, does anyone know how to get a sponsorship? Trying to find out on google but no luck! Thanks lf you're asking about sponsorship for darts generally - a LOT of hard work, and a lot of luck. put together a document about why someone should sponsor you - what do they get out of it as a company? ...

I thought it was a PDC event - an invitational 'tournament'/exhibition. [edit] although it's hard to see who the actual organisers are - not that clear on ticketmaster for the tickets. [edit] Checked it out and it's an independent event - organised by the stadium, just using PDC players. Been going ...

he told me he was - and I thought I saw his name on the list

If you look towards one of his other sports (snooker), hasn't he introduced 'floor tourneys' similar to darts to get the players playing more and to get ranking points for the TV comps... so going the opposite way to what some are suggesting in this thread (elite just play tv comps) - the players in...

Re-balancing your blood alcohol levels is the answer. The Japanese player the other day possibly over balanced (in more ways than one!) :CCDD: There's a gene missing in some Asian people that doesn't allow them to break down alcohol as fast as most Europeans, some only need one or two pints to feel...

The PDC have also made it harder to score by using the Unicorn HD boards, with extra challenge to hold a dart

I agree when I saw that he seemed very unhappy - for a man who'd just won a game he seemed hardly interested. Just seemed to be having a dig at the current situation. I've not watched all the BDO events this year, but the smaller ones often do appear to be mainly players/friends/family the in crowd,...

>> Alcohol Ban

I think that would be be the biggest shake up in darts going. I'd predict some big changes in who you see do well on TV if that was the case.

12 months I'm hearing.

EPO??? isn't that what cyclists etc use for long endurance. That would be a very odd choice.

not sure who's touting the lifetime ban... have seen it mentioned, but more as a question.
