Aye, with the draw done and schedule out I cant imagine there will be many more before the off.

Although Ross may issue a "chilling warning" in a national newspaper again and lose in the first round....again :WWWW:

Howler klaxon!

- Yet again the BDO get a "journalist" from Twitter to work for free for them and do all of their match reports.

Howler klaxon!

- Rhian Griffiths claiming on a Gofundme begging page that Lakeside, other than on Channel 4 in the UK (missing out BT Sport which is a howler in itself), will be shown on "various other broadcasters around the world", when the event has no TV deal outside the UK/Ireland and will solely be on Youtube

To be fair to her, I read that as her first game against Ashton is on Channel 4, which is why no mention of BT Sport.
The rest of it is all a bit depressing though.

Well, a few points:
She is representing her county at the Celtic thingy?
Also she is trying to raise money for the whole of next year not specifically Lakeside.
Do you really want to include players asking for sponsorship in this? the PDC one will have dozens of them if that's the case, in fact on Gary Andersons site he is asking if anybody wants to be involved in sponsorship, they all do ;-)

Im not including her for begging for sponsorship, its for her claim that "broadcasters around the world" are showing it, which they arent. Its on Youtube outside of the UK/Ireland and thats it.

Anyone seen Pitch International-ly?
