The Official 2018 PDC World Championship Howlers Thread

Post by Skewball »

1/ Barry got stuck in traffic so draw half an hour late, which meant it was about 2 hours after the field was known. tut
2/ Dave Clark called out a wrong player during the draw
3/ PDC promoting viagogo to buy so called 'sold out' sessions.
4/ big screens went 'missing for a set and forced an extended break in the middle of Smith and Cross.





feel free to come up with some 'when' they happen.... I will add them!

1/ Draw not done until only a couple of weeks before the event meaning people not knowing what matches they are going to stare at the stands at.
2/ Draw later than advertised, hilarity ensued as a result.
3/ Dave Clark called out a wrong player during the draw

Edited to use the same degree of mock outrage as in the BDO thread.

Needs dressing up to pass the Ginge threshold - how about 'PDC couldn't find anyone good enough through ranking or qualifying, so issued wildcards for its premier event, including one to a player who hadn't even played any PDC ranking events in the whole year'

Christ I'm confused now. I thought i was part of the team and thus officially allowed to make official 'take the piss' threads. I can change the title if I I have been demoted from the team.

Demoted? Two more months and you get your third stripe.
