you can bang the drum as long as you want for Ladies darts...the sad fact is that there is no public appetite for it ...harsh but true...there can never be a viable stand alone tour where good money is offered....sponsors don't want it..TV doesn't want it and the general darting public aren't inter...

Re: Corruption in Darts and Snooker

I don't like the idea of a convicted player being part of the integrity program, he's already proved himself to be untrustworthy. Paddy He wasn't convicted, quite the opposite he was aquitted.

Re: Corruption in Darts and Snooker

I wonder if the first job for the Integrity Unit will be watching the action in the CLOD today, particularly performances of certain individuals from about 4pm onwards. I agree. Everything about the CLOD is set up for, dare I say, ‘fixed’ results. Not saying its happening mind, just that if ever a ...

Steve Brown v Steve Farmer is a good draw for both players. Both will fancy winning that one.
Yeah, Brown vs Farmer stands out for me. What a great chance for both players to make progress on the TV stage and in OOM, a match that really means something.

Re: Communal Darters Diary

Should be a good one tonight. The culmination of Grubby’s ‘running singles’ on a Tuesday night over the Summer. The top 16 qualifiers will battle it out (top seed vs 16th etc) for the big prize. Paddy somehow sneaked into the top 16. There is a chance I might have to play him in the first round, eit...

Re: All these darts players wanting sponsorship

I could really understand the argument of people who say they couldn't afford to play the professional game if this was back in the early 1990's and the PDC (WDC) hadn't yet been given birth to. It seems fairly simple to me now given the money available on the pro tour that if you cannot win enough...

Re: SEEKING SPONSORSHIP FOR A DARTS PLAYER

What has internationally capped players got to do with anything? You could be internationally capped for Mozambique, doesn't mean you deserve a sponsor. Well whatever, but it does not change the fact that your comment re getting sponsorship if winning opens is just not true. Nice if it was, and I’m...
