Every sport claims to be the "second most watched" behind football on Sky. Well, both codes of rugby and cricket, perhaps not speedway and netball.

It's too easy for the BDO board just to roll over and take the easy option rather than actively seek new sponsors and venues. (Unless that's BDO Events remit.)

He's 4th in the Red Dragon World Rankings.

Seriously though, will this be on TV again? The first day of last years event may have been the worst standard of TV presentation of the sport there's ever been. Sorry but that's held , without a doubt, by Setanta TV and their coverage of some of the early Grand Prix events. It still stands head an...

Matt Stevens in rugby union and Gareth Hock in rugby league both got 2 year bans for cocaine.

Is that place still run with an iron fist then? You can't talk about the PDC unless you are slagging it off, calling it a circus or saying the fans are there just to get on telly and aren't proper darts fans, because they're there to watch darts and not dress up to try get on telly....And you can't...

There seem to be ranking points for first-game losers now, at least at the Lakeside. It's a joke. The whole new system is a joke. It has killed US and Canada. Nobody from UK/Europe will travel there now. Most European events (with crap cash) have been killed off also. I'm am now sure how to post do...

The challenge for the BDO/BDO Events is to parlay that up into more events on TV...

Cheers Chris for a fun competition! (And well done to the winners and the prize providers!)

I think these viewing figures and the attempted comparison with Lakeside viewing figures are prety much meaningless unless you take account of the worldwide coverage. These competitions aren't just broadcast in the UK but these endless comparisons seems to suggest it is, we know the PDC is broadcas...

Vassos and Riley to close out the World Championship Final. Whoever made that decision needs to be sacked in the morning.

Rawling in spades.

The difference between a Proudfoot and Alexander is that one is a proper sports commentator, and the other isn't. I've never heard him commentate anywhere bar the Lakeside.

Brilliant match tonight, in a way it's a shame that the larger TV audience had a blow out to watch rather than that. A game improved without commentary too. Like many, I'm not a big Adams fan, but respect his performance tonight and think he wins by plenty in the final. A great shame for Duzza, prob...

I was going to be kinder and ask if she just wasn't great at being interviewed.

Are the commentators desperate for a Sherrock win? More marketable for the BDO perhaps.

And John Gwynne is sat at home. He'd been doing stuff for William Hill this week, and they said he's on their radio on Sunday. Should be at Lakeside though.

Awesome from Ashton there. As much as we all love to see a close game, sometimes as battering is as entertaining in the sense of being ridiculously impressive.
