After seeing the Cheltenham tipping comp over the road, got me thinking.
Chissy, one of the original mods here started this idea. And I remember one of the prizes was a share to get a vote for the players sponsorship scheme.

Anyone remember the complete list of players who were sponsored by that scheme? And how are they doing now.

Tony Eccles
Steve Grubb
James Richardson
Justin Pipe
Richie Howson
Paddy Meaney

Wasn't there a bdo one too?

I think there was an idea to sponsor two BDO players. From memory Robbie Green and Anastasia,

How many of those and others that were in contention for sponsorship still post on here?

There was one but it never got enough interest, Spacey ended up returning the money back to the potential sponsors....... says it all really.

from memory: didn't the last guy pack in playing half way through the season or not go for his tour card?

Now I recall he got the sponsorship money but didn't enter q school because he had spent it on events before January.

There had been expectation he would enter q school.

Funny how they were all active when the money was on offer.

That is how I recall it, folk seemed to lose interest soon after that.

I’m still here and was here long before they even started the scheme. I don’t chase money like some.

But what about James Richardson.

I thought it was good when at the gsod he was pointing to and kissing his tsod badge. He seemed to genuinely appreciate the sponsorship.
