Well yes, the latter would solve the issue straight away. Or here's another novel idea. Find another sponsor to cover some of the prize fund. But that’s what Sportotal told the BDO. The amateur brand in darts is toxic who would give them cash. Even the extra money that the IOM Open got is from the ...

Well yes, the latter would solve the issue straight away. Have said that in the past. Should have been structured as each player gets something like £1k to cover their expenses, but the prize pot and split is then defined as x% of ticket revenue. Could do something like 80% but Lakeside keep the fo...

Why would Taylor turn up. He can earn a lot more from doing one night of exbo than if he won both days over the weekend. Plus he knows he’s always guaranteed an invite to the TV events as his name sells tickets. On the Seniors tour his invites are discretionary by the promoters there’s no need to ge...

Won’t it be them and the TV production company as the two big creditors, as weren’t they the ones who forced BDOE into liquidation. If the other creditors are the players it may explain why even after a year they haven’t provided the paperwork to be accepted as creditors as surely the new terms they...

Overturning a certain blog’s prediction Wade on TV board tonight whilst Clayton and Smith relegated to the other one.
We also get the all Dutch game on TV, guess PDC need to keep their new partners in Netherlands happy in Viaplay.

Plus she’s not unemployed as a darts player as can easily switch to being an English player given her British passport. Given she has voluntarily made herself redundant by refusing to switch nationality I thought that made you ineligible for at least unemployment benefit. Otherwise just get another ...

Thought that was only in the EU. Both Cyprus (Greek bit) and Malta openly sold citizenship to anyone with enough ready cash not just Russians.

Am sure somewhere in Africa or Asia would happily sell them citizenship.

Won’t he need to drive Minehead to Southampton ?
Takes a few hours but given the Modus night sessions are 10:30pm or later aA noted an early knockout at U.K. Open and he can make it.

Have they been kicked out of the Football World Cup playoffs by UEFA and FIFA yet.

Russia are in the playoff semi finals but with an away game.
Ukraine play Scotland in the other half of the draw with match at Hampden but over half the Ukraine squad stuck there as play for local teams.

Brian Raman Qualifiers for the Euro Tour event 1 Forgive my ignorance, but why is Raman allowed to play in this as a full member rather than an associate member? Wednesday morning is a strange time to run a qualifier! "New PDC Tour Card Holders for 2022 are able to enter the 2022 ET1 Associate...

Who was the guy with kids then with the beard and kids who won the World Youth then when in his mid 20s. Ridiculous was still allowed to be in it.

Much older for DT. Goes way too old. Hence the case recently was it Humphreys ? who won with a full beard and has kids. Should stop at 18 or absolute maximum 21. After that main tour or challenge tour only. 6.2 Entry to Development Tour Events and the World Youth Championship and its associated qual...

She will also still get WSOD invites this year. So the ones already announced in New York, Australia and NZ plus the finals event, I also see Matchroom still operating one rule in snooker and other in darts. The recently crowned women’s snooker world champion gets a 2 year WST card next year whilst ...

Isn’t it all down to money. Riley’s give some cash to the PDC and provide the venues and hosting for free. Guess they cover their costs from the entrants beer money when they are there. Is there any reasonably nationwide sports bar or pub chain who could run similar. Round here it’s only the indepen...

Don’t you get Eurosport in Ireland so that would have been the last BDO WC at the O2.
Before then Lakeside has in the past been on BBC and BT Sport which are available to those in Ireland.

The only problem is that they should have done this event 10 years ago and then it could have been established by the time the 80s players got too old. As they have now. They had the League of Legends in 2008, and all of them except Bob Anderson were pretty ordinary by then. I think the addition of...

BBC stream crashed

To be fair, all of Rout, Oche and Gaz have at some point said Cullen is a bottler and/or will never win anything, so the last few posts have been the online equivalent of three bald men fighting over a comb. It's entertaining, mind. he played another choker in the final so someone had to win. Does ...
