Averages don't matter anyway.

Well they do at county.

Oh, and at the Finder Masters...

What a load of bollocks..........

It's gone up a bit.

At this rate next year you will have to average 130 just to get through a qualifier.....

And you have gone into turbo contrary mode worse than before your week off. Saying that it is morbidly fascinating to see what George Galloway esque spin you put on things. Still can't decide if you are on the mickey?

One point....Rob Cross never failed to gain a card at Q school and then got it through the challenge tour like it says......
Other than that it was fair enough....nothing I've not heard before though...

Interesting he says no barriers of entry to QSchool. Male / Female, Black / White, Christian / Muslim.

So no possibility of a PDC women’s only tour any time soon. If the women are good enough play the men at QSchool and get a tour card.

Simple really, no seperate tour.
Job done.

Didn't Matt Porter say there will be?
Or have i took another made up story off here and made it true.

I hope they do try again. It would be the killer blow.
But getting ladies matches on sky will be hard. Maybe Itv? And you do need the carrot of some telly exposure as part of a tour.

However, credit to Hearn he knows how to run a business

But not a football team.

Or a women's or actual youth tour.

PDC won't touch the ladies game. It is a millstone on the neck of a drowning BDO

Interesting thought. Do you think that if the top end of the BDO 'collapsed' they may then consider ladies darts?

Post by **cannibal** » Tue Dec 12, 2017 9:55 am

Nope, market isn't big enough, not enough ladies are talented enough to make it worth watching.

I do think the one or two ladies that may come thru the PDC system and get to a TV event will garner more interest as a curiosity than say a dedicated women's tour
