Re: What a joke!!

When i turned up at the European Championships in Dusseldorf I had expected some preferential rates to be arranged. For the whole 4 days. But no. I showed ticket. Said I only need the room for the night. Had to pay 170- Euros. You would expect with so many rooms available. Over 100 free. That a dea...

Re: What a joke!!

Another case of bad luck is yours! The BDO cannot be held responsible for public liability here, I'm afraid, nor for contractual liability if there was any contract at all between you and the BDO and even then their regulations will possibly contain a "waiver", a clause setting them free ...

Re: We Love Darts - The Rivals Championship - What happened?

alleged 1000 pubs/clubs at 50 +vat @17.5% , goes missing?????? did they ever intend to run this comp ????? very good question and probably one of the reasons as to why details are sketchy. 1000 x £50 = £50,000 - if a project fails because of circumstances beyond control or due to the current climat...

Re: BDO AGM

Problem is BDO do not appoint England captains anymore EDO do. Personally I think it's time for a change of captaincy, Martin only plays 6/9 county matches and doesn't play in all EDO events . Tony Oshea would be my pick . Whoosh :banghead: I wasn't talking about the England Captaincy, I was talkin...

Re: BDO response to the letter from the progressives = GREAT

A great response from the BDO, it's very easy for people here to criticise but I've seen few constructive ideas put forward by the whinging wannabes, it's easy for us to sit at home in the comfort of our homes making rash comments, but very few of us actually know anything about the intricacies of ...

Re: BDO AGM

Some good points by al Capone , the BDO have a lot to offer for sure and in the right hands can only improve their product. The point about barry's offer to buy BDO is very valid, do you realty believe Barry wanted to buy BDO just for the good of darts ? or for the benefit of the pdc. I'm not sayin...

Re: BDO AGM

I would agree that the letter, is a bit like war and peace, I would have been more to the point in what I would do if elected, and then throw the ball into the current boards direction. There are a lot of people within darts who run their own businesses, a lot of county officials are running their ...

Re: BDO AGM

Shouldn't there be something of what you are/are not allowed to do with the information written into the document somewhere? If its being sent out to county members/secretaries I would expect some detail on who I was allowed to be able to distribute it to. I've read it and it's hard to see any sing...

Re: Lakeside Championship being shown on ESPN

Just an aside here. In Ireland now, if you have Sky and get the Sky Sports package, ESPN now comes with the Sky Sports package at no extra cost. We all got it free last Friday, if you subscribe to Sky Sports. Is this the case in the UK? http://www.sky.com/ireland/tv/standalone-channels/espn/ cheers...

Re: We Love Darts - The Rivals Championship - What happened?

Did the old company go into administration ? If they did the pubs who paid the cash should be listed as creditors. It does sounds dodgy though as the competition had question marks from the start and funnily enough it went for a burton to prove the doubters right. The lack of responses also doesn't...
