Doesn't Garry normally do this? Anyone would think he only does it when the numbers suit his agenda.

Not me though. I'm not that cynical.

Just in from work, and settling down, beer in hand having switched to Channel 469 on Sky, to watch the remaining matches of the WDT. Have I missed much so far.

Its got smaller since I last looked. Have they all gone on the log flume?

[trotter]

Just started watching so not seen any until this Phillips match...
I think the coverage seems OK actually..at face value it's fine and it's good that I can watch it..
The bigger picture is how did the BDO get into this staterm ..on a tiny TV channel in front of 10 fans with no sponsor....the board have a lot to answer for...questions need to be asked..but they never are...
Anyway..aside from that and under the circumstances the actual coverage is Ok I'd say...but it does emphasise how TV darts needs a crowd...doesn't matter about coverage..quality of darts on offer..it needs a crowd to look good on TV.

[The Shank]

The crowd will turn up once the roads have cleared.

[Ginge]

The crowd will turn up once the roads have cleared.

Yeah huge problems with the traffic according to at least three people on YouTube, mate. Should have added it to my bingo card, mate.

[Murphio]

The crowd will turn up once the roads have cleared.

They have taken in the roads, unfortunately.
