The probably best-sponsored player in the Lakeside women's field doesn't have trouble paying for her flights. Shocking.

For me tonight will be a huge factor in the decision Duzza makes in regard to where he plays darts next year. Durrant is clearly a very good player, but his lack of match practise against top quality opposition has seen him lose in the Masters final to a Challenge Tour Player and go out of the GSOD...

That sounds more like the council is taking a loss because the event is going to generate less revenue for them specifically (food sales etc.?), not that the event as a whole is losing money for the PDC.

Well, we have the results of her 3 Challenge Tour weekends to go on. 2 of those sets of results would leave her miles away from the tour card, the third set would give her barely enough Q School points if she were to reach the same rounds there. However, Q School is significantly tougher than a Chal...

How many other pub players did Mitchell have to beat to earn the right to play Phil Taylor? Or was it one of those exbos where it's raffled off?

Thank god, a multi year and event deal with a respected broadcaster. Sportotal I doff my cap to you. Quite right Indeed. Des couldn't interfere or it would have been the 28th contract breach. Hes happy to take credit for it on the press release ! Stephen Holland is happy to take the money instead, ...

"BDO for the right price".

FWIW, my reasoning for not picking a date this week was that I expect it to be a largely bad or at least very unimpressive announcement, and this week sees the Northern Ireland Open being played. Isn't Des enough of a politician that he won't want to release bad news on the eve of a home country org...

I realise you don't necessarily agree with the argument for having qualifiers and thought about that argument myself, I just think the pdpa got it wrong in this occasion. Letting the 24 spots be filled up by tournament winners when possible will improve the standard of the field IMHO. Plus it's a n...

No money to be made by that, unlike the promo barrage.

Clashes with a Dartslive tour event, I'm pretty sure that's more relevant to her than the Finder Masters.

Monday 15th November 2021?

Friday 2nd November, so that's 64 for me.

It would be a great bit of marketing for the BDO to plug . There best bet is to announce it to the darts world when everyone’s watching live. And that's your problem right there. What are the BDO going to do exactly? Put a press release on their website and Facebook page? Maybe another photo of Des...

Its a good money spinner for him, they are well supported but he cant just keep running these with no "official" role. Now hes chairman of the BDO he can tell other countries that their events are being taken over by the BDO which makes it a bit more official. Do tell, all the national or...

The BDO has revised Waites's average from 104.50 to 103.42, by the way.

(Also Smith-Neale from 92.97 to 93.94.)

Some people even create duplicate threads about the World Masters just to have more activity.

Who better than Paddy to know his target audience at Real Fanatics?
