They have, the moment FrontRunner went off Freeview they gave the game up (remember the poster for the Selsey event in September said it would be on TV and it never was).
Ah yes, of course :grin:

I think the best thing the EDO could do is admit it was a mistake not sending a team.

But I do find it interesting that other nations didn't send a team and get hardly any criticism. Oh and then they put on an event at the same time as the world cup, but lets forget about that!

Don't you think he is justified? take the AGM. they could have had a quiet word before the AGM that they would not be looking at his proposal but instead, it seems, wanted to ridicule him at that meeting.

TT has his faults but how frustrating is it that folks are working against the EDo? interfering in a way they don't with other nations.

England need to take 'control' of all events in England (if that is possible) with the exception of the world championships.

And still didn't send a team! what was their excuse? were they 'punished' by the BDo or actually rewarded with a bonus event?

Well, yes, they have never held their hands up over that, just said they couldn't afford it which can only be interpreted as they cannot manage their funding.
The other nations do not exist for the sole reason to send teams to Internationals, that is the difference.

Devo are you thick ???????????
If we had the money to send a team we would have , unfortunately airlines and Hotels don't accept IOUs !
Same decision was reached by other nations .
Who got funding for the event running against World Cup, event being repeated at end of Feb in NI I wonder if Scotland / Wales get BDO funding again .

Do they not Ian ?
Are you honestly saying that England Darts was solely formed to fund the international team ????

It just shows how far the PDC will go to accommodate the BDO boys and make them feel at home ;)

Something you and your hero have said consistently, why was the EDO formed then Paul?
