According to the fanboys we need a larger sample size, it cannot be proven from one item, don't shoot me that was dragged up every time by your mob ;)

Of course that's the first time you have post changed or mentioned massive trebles. :MAD:

I agree about the Guardian. To quote it:

BDO World Darts Championship

Held every January at the Lakeside country club in Surrey, the BDO world championship is not such a terrible tournament in itself. It’s a straight knockout, devoid of fiddly format changes, with enough seeded players to add structure without stifling a strong outsider’s path to glory. The problem with it is more fundamental than that; simply put, it is not a real world championship.

By definition, a world champion is the best in the world at their chosen pursuit. With all due respect, Scott ‘Scotty 2 Hotty’ Waites is not the best darts player in the world. He won the 2016 final, regaining the title from Scott Mitchell (Waites can at least claim to be the best darts player in the world called Scott) but with an average of 87.54. That standard would have resulted in Mitchell being obliterated in the early rounds of the PDC world championship, darts’ true blue riband event.
I was talking about it's political persuasion, obviously their sports section hasn't caught up yet.

Before this event I did think it would come over a little 'stale " with it being the 3rd event there this year.

But with it being packed out it kind of felt like the other 2 events were 'some were' else.

guess the title being played for and the good crowds set it apart from the others.

BT Sport will not be free to BT TV subscribers (i.e. me) from August. So that will be even fewer people watching Lakeside on BT Sport next year.
