The Debate- The rights or wrongs of UK Open taking place

[ifm]

Its a Butlins Health and Safety decision to not let people in , PDC has been left with a decision as to whether to go ahead just for TV and its a no brainer to do so in my view

LOL, is there anything you won't defend?

Cue jokes about a bigger crowd at the World Trophy.

[WCDPA]

Refunds all round ? Or will Butlins pull a flanker and offer an alternative weekend .

[The Jolly Man]

There is no way an event can take place on TV without any kind of crowd, would be ludicrous!

BDO are happy to do it.

[ssjsa]

11am deadline for the players to register for a 12 start, I assume the PDC are going to be a bit relaxed about this, especially if your game isnt first on a board?

Thanks for the sensible answer, you should be a mod.

We will give your nomination due consideration when we undertake our next recruitment campaign.

Is there even another free weekend in the PDC calendar for this, let alone a free weekend at Butlins Minehead??

Might have to play it midweek, Mon-Weds...

[Astonvilla]

They have just turned into a BDO major. Players but no crowd.

So, the players will play the @OfficialPDC UK Open darts in Minehead and we at @ITV4 will broadcast as per schedule from 12pm. However, @Butlins have decided it’s unsafe for the public to attend.

I'm not prepared to spend all day slagging the BDO and persecuting unbiased posters.

This is going to be an absolute farce - can't wait to see Price turn round to an empty hall and give it the boosh

Looks like they are trying to hide that they didn't sell out, tut.

Will be like a floor tournament, streamed on tv, on a bigger stage, with no atmos.

Can't they let those already in the resort attend??
