I'm sure Pauly will be using this example as one of his tests of the new regime's commitment to transparency over on his Facebook group.

Turn the tide of what? The realisation that the future of darts isn't 2 orgs having competing world professional championships. Why not . The Hearns have managed to to work with this in boxing. The whole purpose of having multiple sanctioning bodies in boxing is to generate more income for all invo...

This thread is a great example of how positive changes in the BDO are viewed by the majority on here..........says it all really. By "positive change" do you mean that someone over at BDO Towers has finally worked out which end of Twitter is which? And that this "positive change"...

Ifm trying to turn back the tide on real fanatics. Has he got shares in the bdo? Turn the tide of what?

Fair enough. I neither know nor care what they show on the weekday daytime slots, so didn't know that Channel 5 was the official home of dreary Antipodean soap operas these days.
Suppose I should have gone through the motions of bothering to find out before I asked my question.

Genuine question: Why has no-one mentioned Channel 5 as a possible broadcaster for this? I know they don't do much in the way of sport (Premiership Rugby Highlights are all I can think of off the top of my head), so the complete lack of experience in live sports broadcasting would be an obvious prob...

If it hadn't been for Trippier last night I think I was in danger of posting the lowest weekly total by anyone ever.

They are new to darts sponsorship.
Maybe they don't realise the correct way to deal with these things is to announce your announcement before you actually make an announcement announcing your announcement. Or something.

PRESS RELEASE: BDO announce a lift on players restrictions The BDO is set to remove all restrictions on PDC Tour Card holders as previously and currently placed upon them. In a complete and radical U-turn, the new BDO Chairman/CEO Derek Jacklin and the current BDO Board of Directors have passed a r...

What it does mean is yet another excuse not to do Q School has vanished. The cost of the entry fees argument vanished earlier this year, and now this. Over to you, Scott. @PoolePirates @BournemouthEcho Scott has always got his self-imposed "two hour tractor ride from Dorset" rule to fall ...

Deary me Nik, I had you down as being more musically aware than that.

I thought that by putting in the bit about Warren Brown I was making it obvious I was taking the piss, but there you go.

This sort of thing is the future of sport. Look at how Europe's football elite are forever trying to tinker with Champions League qualification criteria in an attempt to turn it into a closed shop, completely devoid of merit. If it's good enough for the Champion's League, it's good enough for darts....

Having him as my captain is the only reason I've now got 3 points on the board

Something about Muslim grooming gangs, thought it was funny tbh. Any post becomes offensive when it offends someone, regardless of the majority not being personally offended. And rightly so. The problem you have here is the colossal increase in people claiming to be offended. Whether they are or no...

A spokesman said: “Leighton has a great attitude towards the game. This young man surely has a bright future and is one to look out for when he takes advantage of the Lincolnshire sponsorship scheme.”

It's unlike Des to be so coy when the news is positive.

Up against Bag Carrier in week 1.
There's nothing like starting the season with a local derby.

Who'd have a tenner on a certain UK lady entering this Open and the BDO mysteriously giving the Italians enough money to make it a Cat A+
