Turkish Open/WDF World Cup to be televised?

[Addicks Fan]

Found this flyer for the Turkish Open from the WDF website:

http://www.dartswdf.com/tournament_flye ... shOpen.pdf

It states 'Eurosport schedule to be announced' - I wonder if that means they are going to show both events, or just the World Cup?

well they did show the Romain open after euro cup and with all top players form round the world cup would be there so would be good open to have on tv

Where are all the folks who made the jokes about BDO/WDF folks having their once a year TV coverage? talk about a turn around for the BDO side of the game.

Maybe there will be a prize fund for the world cup? maybe not!

i think there should be prize money for this something like this for singles events

4000 2000 1000 500 250 womans 2000 1000 500 250 125

Scott Mitchell said on Twitter that the final stages will be shown

"It's not about the money etc etc..."

[oche balboa]

I am sure if Money was an issue Bradders the players would refuse to play

[Ginge]

They wouldnt say no to playing for a bit of cash though, given the choice.

Thankfully there is a ranking event a few days beforehand they can earn a bit of coin at.

[oche balboa]

Of Course, but it was the same in Bristows day

[Ginge]

And?

[oche balboa]

its not going to change

[Ginge]

Indeed, because the WDF are inept.

[oche balboa]

I agree, but its nice that players are happy enough to play for no prize money

[Ginge]

You usually find an all-expenses paid trip to a far-flung area of the world helps sweeten the deal for some nations

I wouldnt have turned down a free trip to St Johns, or Perth, or an all inclusive hotel in Turkey, or wherever else the event has been held.

On BBC website it says foreign office changing status for travel to Turkey to 'Caution'. Not sure what that precisely means but they have just had the highest casualties in a terrorist attack, and an increase in caution is needed. Still think it is save to go but i know someone mentioned this aspect on BDOF a while back and Ross deleted the thread saying it was a darts site not a politics site.

What a complete and utter arse that man is!

Stop your belly aching, Turkey is far safer than many countries.......... including the USA. Would there be all this alarm if the competition was held in the states? I don't think so.

edit to above post: they have 'urged caution' for Brits travelling.

Paddy: i'm not belly aching just pointing out something on today's news. Election rallies are being cancelled and tension is very high in the country. It's the foreign office not me urging caution.

Well hope it's safe as I'm going out this Sunday at 9am.
