Hope Turkey gets cancelled too. Very dangerous times.

Yep, just spotted it on the Catalan darts website. Cancelled it in June apparently, due to venue problems. Good to see that the WDF and BDO calendars are on the ball as usual!

Oh well, the article is dated 7th June on the website, but maybe they've just amended another article about it.

I presume that the final decision was made due to the attacks

Have all events in London been cancelled since the various attacks there?

Seems a very convenient excuse to cancel it, the truth probably is the event wasn't going to wash it's face in terms of costs.

Also, Salou is 125km away from Barcelona...

I believe because it clashes with the ladies london classic, Turkey, Pdc Spain event(300+ spanish players go to this annually).
They just put it on the wrong date in my opinion. And have to cancel.

I refer you back to the bit in red above ;)

The other explanation about this event clashing with all the others seems the more plausible explanation.

Ive just noticed the BDO website actually tells you the reasons it was cancelled. "Nearby terrorism" isnt one of them :roll:
