There's lot of talk on twitter about a rumour that Richie Burnett has been banned from the World Championships... I wonder if they'll have a 3rd place play off today if it's at all true. Although it's Oche mentioning it the most - so it could be a scheme to make the PDC look bad ;-) Ryan De Vreede ...

It's not just the worlds if it proves to be true. Banned from the PDC entirely.

The offence nothing darts related.

Obviously not seen anything official.

and it sounds like real movement towards what I think makes more sense, so looks good to me if it gets voted in

From a Facebook post: "At the BDO Meeting today some interesting news came out for all Counties to discuss with their membership. The current 365 day rule which prevents any member of a Darts Body not recognised by the BDO from the event. They have now as a board decided to propose lifting this...

Love watching Keegan, future world champ. :D good call david Did that little pxxxk rodriguez play up ? Showing signs of having learnt his lesson etiquette wise my friend. :) GOOD Cos he is a great player and dont need all the play acting ;) He did talk about how he's learnt he was overdoing it - an...

Ally Pally 2011.

it's a LONG way to go, but plenty of leg room in Minehead events.

ahh is that the wife of that disgusting bloke who said the stuff at the Lincs/Lancs game, and from what I read has kicked off at other events?

Robbie has posted about it, and it's shocking what going on in that thread - both sides clashing again. sounds a right nasty day

it's a simple affiliate type thing, anyone with a website can sign up.. you just pick what you want to sell from hundreds/thousands of online stores, and you get a small % or something. they don't handle the stock themselves. but yeah it's an odd mix of stuff for a darts org to sell.

Uncle Barry has confirmed that the tournament will move to the Main Hall next year; capacity of around 6-7,000. Thinks he made a mistake not moving it this year. hmm I was there at the press event.. he said that this year would probably be the last in the current 'venue'.. he did say the main hall ...

I read about the appeal.. but as it was at crown court you can't just appeal because you didn't like the outcome. There has to be an appeal based on a flaw in the trial, or new important evidence is found. https://www.gov.uk/appeal-against-sentence-conviction/crown-court-verdict They may want to app...

Probably find out tomorrow. I'm probably going to the press launch for the William Hill sponsorship. MvG and Mr Hearn there - plus the WH representatives. So if I remember my pen/notepad and remember to write down any figures I'll share em when I'm back. probably be up somewhere else before that any...

the OP did say regular TV, including Prem league.. the top few players will be looking for £30K+ I'm sure, and I've heard £100K+ figures mentioned for the very top players. top 16 players are looking for £15K a year - as they can bring in pretty regular tv exposure. Often (always?) the sponsorship d...

It must really confuse the TV companies with multiple agents turning up trying to 'sell' them rights to the same tournaments - or at least the same group of players over and over. Committees are fine when wrangling forever over the rules of a sport, or where people just get on with things anyway, bu...

Also wondering at floor events does he get into character? (would seem like it would take hours to put all his paint on and do his hair), and lastly wondering how long he'll keep on w/ the whole presentation? With his high quality he won't be going anywhere soon, so just wondering if we'll see him ...

smashing up everyone in our club league too.

I was there - and I'd say board 2 room was fantastic, way better than nearly any venue I've been in for darts in ages.. it did feel like being at the circus tavern... and had a crowd of fans in that the BDO would be proud of... lots of respect on throws, and lots of noise between... the low roof, be...

setting off at 5am to head there.. looking forward to it. will be great i'm sure.. just different to the more 'intimate' Bolton where it's mainly players/family/hard-core fans on thurs night. going to be far more a party crowd this time. that said, you'll find me in the club afterwards

Always was the UK Open for me. Loved the multi-board format and being able to wander round the room to watch many different players than we regularly see on the TV. I'll be off to Butlins and hope they haven't ruined that. I believe stage room board 1 (obviously), Reds nightclub board 2... and then...
