Ive noticed Colin Lloyd does it alot, but hey, wotever works for them

It should be the top 32 from the Pro Tour OOM, that way it doesnt make the Players Championships seem pointless, one good run in this and it stops more consistent players on the floor miss out on TV events, specifically the Worlds. Winstanley almost missed out on the Matchplay because of this, which...

Jamie Lewis is known as "The Great Welsh Hope", which is quite appalling. Also "The Gentle" is pretty shocking.

Other unimaginative names like "Bernie", "Barney", "Walshie", "Rosi"

Love the fact that they "tried to get the crowd going" by blasting Ted Hankey's music out lol

Do the last 32 of the Men's get 10 points? Or do the points start at last 16?

effin echo again!

To be fair, i dont remember any uproar about Whitlock hobbling into the Ally Pally, bets were off on his game, and then Smith didnt even win a leg and eventually got to the Semi's. I could be wrong though, but dont remember reading anything. I know Whitlock was defending a final on his rankings, but...

Mark Hylton draws Adrian Lewis in round 1 for the second day running, hows ya luck!!

If a top BDO player does not win a card at Q-School, its not the end of the world, look at Darren Webster, he hasnt missed an event yet apart from the upcoming Euro events, but he has had the chance to qualify for them. He is on course to qualify for the Matchplay and the Worlds which would no doubt...

If BDO players want more opportunities to play in the Grand Slam either a) reach at least the semi's of the Lakeside or b) join the PDC. Simples. Its called the Grand Slam for a reason. Its not the PDC's fault that the BDO only have 2 TV majors a year. There is already potentially 8 places on offer ...

Am i the only person who is sick of Ovens scrapping thru every year? he is possibly the blandest player ive ever seen

Do we actually know if Bunting had a problem changing his flights? Some people seem to be jumping to conclusions here. If it was me, I would of expected to have different flights. And anyone who says Ana's and Bunting's is the same case, absolute BS, one had the organisation on theres, one had a dar...

Or Rick Waller

Lol, not a fan of seeing Youth in the Groynd Slam of Darts Ginge?

Me neither to be fair, but how its worked the last 2 years is that the winner from this year (Hubbard), and the 2 finalists for next year would get Grand Slam spots

Seen on Twitter that Tony West had entered but wasnt included in the original list, suprised Chizzyfan hadnt spotted that lol

But MVG is no longer involved from now on

Im suprised noone has commented on this, everyone was in uproar when the final was held 6 months after the original tournament, and now it has been corrected, noone says a word? Obviously this works out better for those involved, but it looks like there will not be any Grand Slam spots for Youths ap...
