Good standard in the men's and some excitingly unpredictable games in the ladies'. Coverage a bit meh and the 'crowd' has been well documented. There is a decent product there... . The problem isn't whether or not there is a decent product, the problem is convincing people with limited amounts of d...

I agree Chris, a big oh dear for the Fanatics. a recent comment was that folk knocking this comp weren't good enough to qualify for it! What's that got to do with anything? Ah that old chestnut again. I'm very likely to have an opinion on the Derby on Saturday, but I assume I'm not allowed to voice...

Bit tricky when the crowd are behind the player in the split screen. Just open the doors to all and sundry for nothing. I didn't think it looked too bad on the split screen. It was dark enough in the background that you couldn't really tell if anyone was there or not (at least that's how it looked ...

I watched it with the sound muted so can't comment on the sound quality or commentary. The actual darts was enjoyable enough, but they really need to do all they can not to show the (lack of) crowd. The camera angle for the walk-ons needs changing. About 6 people at the front ready to greet the play...

101 guests ffs So last night our audience was more than twice the size of the audience in the Guild Hall. Let that sink in for a moment. Just the anonymous guests browsing :DDD: Indeed. We had over 100 non-participants watching us talk about BDO darts. The BDO had less than half that in the hall wa...

Let that sink in for a moment.

Scotty Dog through to the next round.
The Bournemouth Echo, Poole Pirates, AFC Bournemouth, and the National Farmers Union can expect a tweet shortly.

I'm watching with the sound muted. Has Gwynne gone off on one of his famous stream of consciousness monologues about random Lancashire county players from the mid 70s yet?

Have I imagined it or has the on-screen graphic changed from "first to7" to "first to 6" part way through this match??

I've just put this on now.
Must be soul destroying for the players to walk out to an empty hall for a "major".
That camera angle on the board is doing my head in. The 20 looks like it's where the 5 should be.

Well the obvious mistake is they've put out more than 5 tables

How much do you think the commentators get paid for their 5 days work on this? Just curious. A bottle of Coke and a bag of crisps. If they do a double session they get a pickled egg too. Depends who is doing it ;) John Gwynne for example? When John did Eurosport for us in Jersey BetFred paid him I ...

Good to see a couple of classic jokes being given a much deserved airing on this thread.

Why do they have footage of a PDC crowd, dartboard and if not mistaken a PDC player first up in the promo,there? Looks like Bunting. Might be wrong. Plus footage of a Lakeside from a few years ago. Odd. At least this promo doesn't feature a random female player hitting the 7 seven segment during a ...

Have they decided to go to the Welsh ballet instead?

I'm still getting to grips with the correct terminology.
Does this class as "pathetic", "dire", or "pathetic and dire"?

Jesus, I hope Howard goes easy on him. He might throw another strop and come back here

Not paying for advertising but they are on my local darts Facebook group posting the schedule and asking for people to buy tickets 5 days laters, zero likes zero comments. It's a good job they've got Des with his world renowned business acumen pulling the strings on this. It might have been a failu...
