Wonder if those counties who withdrew form the EDO are regretting this. Wonder if their players are not happy about the decision made to pull out? Surely this is a vital time for the BDO side of the game. Extra events coming onto TV (not just via the BDO) and surely the most important thing at this ...

I see the big hippy cheat from Devon is in the draw. He was just showing what an inspiration Taylor is to all darts players out there. :D Strange comment ecky. Always seen Taylor as a 'middle of the road' kind of guy rather than the 'out there' hippy bloke. Do you reckon Taylor is into the '13th Fl...

There's even more to come from Flashdarts: the school holidays start soon.

Adams is a legend, one of the very few darts players who has never meandered from the path of principle, the people that mock him can't comprehend this seemingly inhuman action. In this modern world, morals, manners and discipline will soon be things of the past. Paddy What principles are they padd...

Out of interest what was Haine's walk on music? At Ally pally the other year it was "Anarchy in the UK", Sex pistols. That was a nice surprise to hear blasting from my tele.

ps. I though Pipe was on a slump? 95 ave!

can't view it but surely ecky you are not laughing and being negative about the PDC? I know you don't like folks mocking the BDo so am confident you don't have double standards.

ps are you talking less than 50?

the nature of the GSOD has changed because the darting world has changed. Wouldn't be surprised to see a winner of a PDC affiliated event, say, in Asia having a place in the future. The first one had the top South African, and American and Aussie which was good but the quality wasn't there. If they...

BH wont chase any players. He didnt chase Bunting and he was the biggest name in the BDO, Adams aside. You mean won't chase players anymore . Arguably Waites and O'Shea have profiles on par with Adams and Bunting. But that's part of the point re the GSOD. In the past they chased players so part of ...

and to reply to paddy's comment about the PDC needing new stars to replace the fading existing ones, we need to note that the PDC are no longer JUST dependant on the BDO (as they once were) to have new talent. There is something called the challenger tour. A youth tour. And also increased and devel...

Can't really blame Adams for that, It's just an unfortunate outcome if he ever got to the final of Lakeside again. He can't be expected to lose the semi on purpose just so 2 players can play in the GSoD :D Of course you can't blame Adams for putting his own principles above the interests of the BDO...

Speaking of Adams. When he reuses to accept GSOD invites (I know those invites no longer given to him) I hope folks, after all the talk o principles etc, realise that Adams is not only denying himself the opportunity to play at the GSOD but he is also reducing the number of BDO players by one (if h...

Whatever it means there are a max of 2 BDO players (though can they enter as non PDC tour card holders, qualifier?) having direct entrance to the GSOD. Don't think it has been ruined because I like the aspect of this being 'all finalists comp'. Nice reward of winning an event. So with the group stag...

Sorry lost me there. It's early. :| Well it isnt tricky: The winners of the following 12 major tournaments will each receive an invitation to the 2015 Grand Slam of Darts: 2014 Grand Slam of Darts 2014 Players Championship Finals 2014-15 Ladbrokes World Darts Championship 2015 Premier League Darts ...

With the WDO and EDO getting their events onto TV (the EDO for the 1st time) has the BDOE become somewhat obsolete within their 1st year of existence? If they get a BDO event on TV that will be good news but not great news in the light of recent and more non pdc darts hitting our screens. I reckon w...

Why watch it once when you can watch it six times, eh? If you watch it 6 times the crowd will add up to 2500 ;) There is no way on earth there were more people at that venue or it was any bigger than the Circus Tavern the camp might hold 2500 people but no way that many were in that room. You kept ...

Just commenting from what I saw on TV Paul. I am amazed that venue is bigger than lakeside (taking yours and TT word's for it) seating wise. The stage seemed so small, especially when the pairs were on btw. Serious question: not intended as a dig but (forgetting the caravan folk who already are on s...

Don't like that. But it doesn't take away the fact that these are 'hot' tickets to get.
