Any moment involving Ted Hankey - some superb darts at times and plenty of entertainment!!! Unsure with my favourite Super Ted moment as its from one of these 1. The load of muppets if this is darts then I'm not coming back interview. 2. The you don't get one of these (sic world championship stars)...

Lets just say 180 players turned up to an open qualifier paying £50(?) for one of 4 spots, for a £400,000 event which is on Sky TV with a good reputation. And many of these players were already at the venue from the previous weekends events. The BDO are charging £22.50 to enter a tournament for one...

Will break my silence for this many congratulations ...... Setting a bad example here we have been together 5.5 years as well . Surely the moment Deta gets the world champs trophy in her hand is when to ask her with any luck it might also be on TV :) I hope Mr Mardle wasn't too upset that the quest...

Why not be a bit subversive and contact the BDO new media rights partner and pose as a buyer interested in obtaining rebraodcastign rights for this years Lakeside and the Blackpool Vapourware Classic and see what they reply ?

I would think the booking houses would have some say in when the CLOD happens. Does darts have enough pull on its own to bring volume in bets or is there some cross effects on volume due to things like football comps (UCL, europa etc...)? I know next to nothing about gambling market in UK. Not that...

The richest 6 hour Beach Darts Tournament not seen on TV ever ?

1/2 price donkey ride with every ticket ?

Or the 'Prize Pot' of any 'new' sponsored tournament ?

maybe because of his stupid ideas? Read on facebook that he warned ppl about sharpening their darts becasue the would very fast lose alot of wight( made an comparision that a tissue weigh 1gr). fact. one whole point weigh about 1gr so you would have to do some seriuos sharpening to lose that :) I w...

Not connected to the Masters

But is it possible for Van Gerwen to overtake Phil at No1 with a World Championships win in 2014 ?

I know It's a step in the correct direction BUT it isn't what I meant The BDO board and the people who are 'controlling' the direction of these recent appointments are still people tied to the part and to certain players. It's a problem that extends down through the whole BDO heirachy (and virtuall...

As to the question would they? I don't think so as traditions die hard and if there is anything I have learned from my English heritage, the English are a stubborn lot :) It's not a case of stubborness with the BDO which will prevent them ever really resolving things its because as the 2 organisati...

Well Widmayer is expecting £3000 for turning up

The look on his face when he is handed a 'new' set of darts will be priceless

You know, if the PDC is really giving up on the CLoD concept after this year, maybe the BDO should consider taking it on. Internet-streamed tournaments are their part and parcel now anyway, and giving their top players an opportunity to produce the same eye-catching averages in a low-pressure tourn...

I was looking to see when Q-School entry opened and found the page. The only reason I found the words was because various words were highlighted cause my computer is riddled with adware. If it was me I would use such a way of 'discovery' as being an ideal way to misinform the opposition so they mak...

Sorry but its a misconception that if you a BDO board player and then came and played on the PDC boards IF they have / had bigger trebles then you would do better. A person whom is skilled at hitting a small target will still only hit the bigger target with the same success. Due to their margin or e...

has barry hearn read this important thread and changed his mind yet.? Its only a matter of time surely as a thread like this is so so important If you have ever followed a reason why Barry Hearn is successful in his chosen field particularly in the TV Sports fields it's because he is very acute at ...

Same with Bunting (Liverpool) being better than say Ritchie George (Wigan). totally irrelevant that Bunting is the better player. Although I can see the basis of this as its obviously based on current rankings. I think its also fair to say that in the tournament that they both had the same equal ch...

I would send the Buddah an invite.

But only on condition he accepted & played in the qualifiers for Ally Pally after as a PDPA full member.

He would also have to commit to qualifying school in 2014.

I think that would be a very fair offer.

I thought he was due to play in one recently but had a car accident enroute and had to withdraw ?

He did , according to reports, have minor injuries so maybe he is waiting to be a 100% fit ?

Bunting is definately head and shoulders above all the others in the BDO at present, hope he can do well enough in January and make the jump across. Whilst I agree with this statement its slightly misleading context. The Buddah maybe head and shoulders about the BDO players at the moment but as his...
