I can't wait no longer, I'm off to cut the grass and then me tea, roast beef tonight, yum, yum. You out later Skewy? 50:50. Was planning on a week off darts (can't play Thursday). Depends what the missus has in store...... :) Anyway, stop asking questions, I don't want to waste my 1000th post on you.

I'm with you ifm, SOS is clearly backtracking!

can see why they changed!! In actual fact it just shows how rubbish their ranking points system was, not the principle itself. In my view they should go back to a points system but probably just base it on money (£1 = 1 point) is almost all cases but then half the number of points for comps more tha...

Yes, it is a shit hole!!

You are sometimes very naive Nikki. Every Company runs on a profit based system and if they do not then they become bankrupt and disappear. The idea of running any company is to generate profits in order to pay wages, dividends and invest in the future and I'd be very surprised if whichever company...

hmm. I'm not sure Nick, it is all about their TV deal for me. Take out the counties (I'm sure BICC would carry on without the 'BDO') and the BDO just organise, what, 6 or 7 comps a year.

I have seen a Paddy meltdown at Superleague. Is this another one ???!!

Paddy asked for it to be removed?
He lost then !!!

To compare to BDO you would need the equivilent of Ninge's analysis that 97 players won enough money to cover entrance fees. You could then compare the number of events in UK/Abroad and that would get you an ok comparison. the problem is getting all the entrance fee data vs winnings from the BDO. An...

what is it advertised as being cracked up to be then Oche? How many do you think 'should' be able to get a 'living' from the PDC tour? Or is this just another lazy one liner ?

When you factor in the amount of booze some of them hoover down that won't be far wrong! Two words: TAX MAN!!! what...
