Adams flirting with the Prelim Round, there. Needs a good weekend in Selsey.

Noppert has one box to fill and will no doubt fill it in Bridlington as he isnt entered this weekend. Well, not in the darts event anyway, his personal life is his own business.....

So you should be speculating on the premiership rights too, the golf?
What about Wimbledon?
Absolutely stupid isn't it?

Just to play a small devils advocate here but the BBC did terminate their contract to show the Open golf live a year early...

The point is that there is absolutely no reason whatsoever to think that this is not going to happen, it's just the usual wishful thinking of people that actually want the bdo to fail, which is irrational unless you talk to Nikkiboy

Well yes, the only scrap of evidence it might happen is the aforementioned Countdown thing but that can easily be shown at lunchtime.
No idea where this "1 year plus an option of 1 further year" theory has come from.

I said last august when it was announced that I wouldn't be surprised if there was an option to end the deal after 1 year, or that the deal was a 1+1 deal as I doubt C4 would just give them money for 2 years of coverage when they have no idea what could happen during the 2 years.

I still think that, if C4 was having the darts again on the main channel they would be at least putting something about it by now. The darts page on the C4 website has not been updated since the day after the final.

Can we now put the issue to bed?

There was no ambiguity, the press release was clear.

I wonder what the 'kind comments' were?!

I said I loved the shots of the man holding up a big sign saying "GAMMON" when Corrine Hammond did her walk-on, and the officials carefully inspecting the menu on the side of a nearly empty tin of Quality Street in the background whilst a live interview was taking place.

It's nice to see a treble twenty segment cannot be seen from space?

Indeed, however contracts can be cancelled early however it is now September and they have confirmed it, therefore the issue has now been put to bed and I expect to hear no more of the "1 year + 1" nonsense...

Ah but something could sill happen from now until January.

For once it sounded like a nice and friendly email and it has put to bed any prattle about it not being on tv.

Exactly. Some members are being rather defensive.

I just find it very sad that people not interested in the bdo world professional championships, in fact wanting it to not even go ahead, are emailing tv companies about it.
