Was it someone who had a surname like Leatherbarrow? Seems to ring a bell.

It is a mystery why he won't explain what it is. Or is this a case of that mysterious nature will draw people to join up? Who am I kidding...
Re: "BDO Fanzone"
As far as I recall The BDO Forum was looked after by a chap called Dave Wykes (alongside another guy who's name I can't recall at the moment).
Dave was a very good dart player, both playing and managing at Warwickshire County level as well as playing a big part in the Coventry and Midland Opens over a number of years. Dave is very sadly no longer with us.

Re: "BDO Fanzone"
The problem with BDO Forums was that it was effectively bowing to everything IDPA wanted, you could get some great discussion but if you happened to say anything someone didn't like you would get a threatening PM from IDPA or he would get the thread deleted. We are talking inocuous comments here.
It was never the same after they messed with the layout, made it unreadable.

I remember the time when Rout did the interview with John Walton a few years back where Walton said he had an exemption for Lakeside.nikkiboy wrote:The problem with BDO Forums was that it was effectively bowing to everything IDPA wanted, you could get some great discussion but if you happened to say anything someone didn't like you would get a threatening PM from IDPA or he would get the thread deleted.

Because Rout is useless pygmy dolescum he never clarified this comment with Walton at the time of the interview so you went over to BDO Forums to try and get some clarity and you got a threatening PM from Fatz within minutes

Had quite a few merry exchanges as he would not post on the forum itself but PM the poster directly.

Now now, you can't say a bad word against him now he's dead. Logic I'm sure they won't apply to everyone.
Re: "BDO Fanzone"
The players union is something drastically needed on that side of the game imo. A proper well run one though.

They need a discipline officer too, someone not afraid to get his hands dirty and issue some proper slappings to the haters.

yes. Hopefully run by people with no vested interest in the outcomes. Should be a mediator and spokesperson for the players as a whole.Rout wrote:The players union is something drastically needed on that side of the game imo. A proper well run one though.

If it was done right there would reach a point where they'd have no choice but to listen. Like any union can influence such power.nikkiboy wrote:Would never be allowed to have any influence or clout, the board would never give away any power.Rout wrote:The players union is something drastically needed on that side of the game imo.

Wouldn't olly still be in power if he had the choice?

Just been reminded the guy behind this "fanzone" thing was liking Warren Browns demented Tweets until the bitter end, so make of that what you will.
