Durrant Parts With Mac

[Skewball]

I don't think he will win it next year. I just can't see him being quite so focused and determined - which is what dragged him through this time.

Becoming a three time world champion. Nah wouldn't get me out of bed.

[Skewball]

I think he will try a little harder than what your suggesting. I just can't see him quite getting over the line next time. But it's only an opinion.

Oh, you were being sarcastic. Who would have thought.

[nikkiboy]

To be fair Durrant wouldn't just hoover up 100k...sure he'd be big favourite to win it..but he'd have to work for it and play very well...
Remember that although he's won the last 2 he survived match darts to lose to Hogan and match darts to.lose to McGeeney...he came from the dead to beat Williams..so we could easily be saying he hadn't been world champion at all yet.....those are the fine margins ..players next year might not miss a winning double..he might not come back from way back so being the best doesn't always mean you're guaranteed to win the event

Fair point but he has won the last two and with some of his biggest rivals switching he has to fancy a third.

[Astonvilla]

Its hard to see Durrant playing as bad as he did against McGeeney again and to be fair if he does its pointless him going to the PDC anyway. Someone new could of course appear like Cross did but its unlikely. His biggest rival for the 100k next year is likely to be Waites.

[devosteve]

obviously it's not a certainty he will walk away with £100,000. if it was we would all bet our life savings on him winning!

But its obvious to most that he has a better chance of winning lakeside than winning Ally Pally (or making the final).

All seems a bit strange this. maybe something in the background or family situation.

A nice guy though. Wish him well.

Mitchell for me - played very well at Lakeside, just unlucky to play someone at the top of his game in two successive rounds

Not a hope in hell of this happening.

A bit like not a hope in hell of that Rob Cross fella winning?

[Bag Carrier]

I just hope we see him on TV. BDO Should use him to their advantage

Still makes a lot of money

When have they ever done this successfully ffs.

A few years ago they had two very marketable World Champions and they did absolutele fek all.

Think the only time they ever did any promotion of their champions was when it was Adams and Trina, and attempted a nationwide exbo tour which was cancelled before a single dart was thrown due to poor ticket sales.

They had the ideal chance when Ana and Webby won the Lakeside. Both young players, Both playing for Clwyd. They could have toured them around Wales to start with and then onto English events.

They missed a trick here (not for the first time) and then tried to do something with Martin & Trina that failed.

Ana and Webby were the two I was on about

Rob Cross is a much better player than Glen. Rob is getting used to playing with the big boys every week, beating them as well, not County jobbers and people at a holiday camp for a weekend on the piss. Not at any point have I ever been anything other than complimentary about Cross. After seeing him play at Hayling the other year, I knew he would be a top star in the PDC. Just the speed of how he has done it is what has been remarkable.

The stats show he was a better player than Durrant for the last 12 months. Previous to that obviously not.

Like you can read.

[Si Robin]

I listened to his interview on the Weekly Dartscast the week after he won Lakeside and he made a point that he’s got 30 years of pension behind him at work, is not the youngest guy, and confirmed it’s a massive risk to go full-time pro.

I don’t, for a second, understand how pensions work (mines all sorted for me) but if that’s at risk when potentially switching because he’d have to give his job up to put the time to practicing, then you can see his point. He’s not in his early 20s. If he fails in the PDC (and I don’t think he would), then what does he go back to. His job will likely be taken.

It’s easy to say he’ll make a mint, but he may have had a shocking 4 days at Q-school, just got a tour card and then lose form altogether. Look at Stephen Bunting’s second year.

I wanted Glen to go over, to show he could mix it with the big boys on a regular basis, but I can fully understand why he hasn't, and it's not as simple as just bottling it in my view.
