Do they really think people will chuck money away to fund a meaningless tournament? There'll be more anti-PDC posts than pounds donated.

Not "England legend Paula Jacklin" surely!

TV are always going to show the big names, it's what they pay the money for. They weren't rushing to buy the rights for the unknowns at the Six Nations, were they?

ITV said he took his darts out too quick and the ref hadn't had time to count up or something. He was marked as 60 and he claimed 100.

We were told this event was "made for TV" though, if you take out the women then there would be absolutely nothing wrong with the length of the sessions. Maybe that is the answer. Are they willing to do that though? As I said above, run the women's event as a one night tournament, and see...

So, when are BDOE going to sort out WDT 2016 so they can get a TV deal in place in time to cut out the long sessions...onwards and upwards! Why not run the women's event as a one day tournament at the start? Long sessions isnt just an issue with this event, the Masters has them as well. The whole s...

Went too early! Well done to the winner and organiser...good fun again!

Look at the timing of many of the PDC events on Sky, and they seem to coincide with weeks in the football season when Sky don't have much action. If BDO/BDO Events want major events to get major coverage, they need to work together with everyone to do that. As mentioned above though, others won't mo...

Does getting a players walk on song wrong really effect a player that much, as some claim? You'd think the current World Champion, a proponent of hypnosis and such, wouldn't be, but he says so. If it does, you must have some serious mental frailties, from a sporting sense. Enjoyed that Warren/Smith ...

I know it's playing to the crowd, but the guy from the production company talking about "real darts fans" sticks in the throat. Talk about how unpredictable the tournament has been rather than get really silly digs in. I've paid to go "Oi Oi Oi" to Chase The Sun, but mainly I've ...

The question is, how do you attract casual fans? What changed in the PDC to attract a "new" audience away from just people who'd been fans of darts for years? For all the talk of "proper darts fans" and the like, I've been to the Premier League, Matchplay and Grand Slam, and it's...

Eurosport are often off-site, but don't refer to it!

Massive problem for the BDo is to get even the diehards to actually buy tickets for BDO events (apart from lakeside) And hotel prices in Manchester...which is easy to blame on Manchester United being at home, but I've looked at staying over there for a trip to the arena, and it looks like it's alwa...

English legend Paula Jacklin

Really? I know the word legend has no value these days, but this may be the worst use of it I've ever seen!

Bombshell title sponsor acquisition: It's Winmau. With bookies seemingly willing to sponsor anything, has Uncle Barry got everyone signed up in one way or another, or just no interest from that sector in sponsoring a BDO Event. I'm guessing the (fairly) late announcement of TV didn't help in findin...
