The 5th BDO World Darts Trophy 30 May - 3 June 2018 Preston - Discussion

"it doesn't matter once they had a good time"

[only85]

No one watches Freesport and no one other than on forums or a member of fanatics FB will know darts is on Freesport.
The net result is no one will watch it.

And it's another paid for tv for which the BDO is going to have to pay for all production costs. Glorified streaming that is going to cost £80k again.
Any "sponsors" yet ?

No one watches freesports ( bucs rugby by yoti popular in university student union bars) Niche market I agree but m’learned poster may be interested in a series of adverts by freesports Advertising upcoming programmes on Rupert murdoch radio (talk sport) that have recently started airing

so dave pallet and stuart kellet the guys jobbing in the PDC got further than Adams , one of their top players.

No you’ve got that wrong, a man who made the SEMI FINAL of a PDC major just a few weeks ago fails to qualify for a BDO tv event

For those with Virgin TV, I think you can watch Freesports online at tvplayer.com. Free to sign up for the freeview channels. If so, BDO should be publicising this!

What major was this?

[Astonvilla]

Shows the depth in the BDO that these PDC guys try but cant quite qualify. Where for example did Newton finish?

[Ginge]

I cant believe Blackburn Rovers didnt win League 1 this season, they won the PL 20-odd years ago so they must be decent.

Good reason though. The mighty Wigan Athletic won it.

Know young William Borland fairly well been doing BDO and dev tour good kid.

Fair enough. Would be a shame if someone posted something a few minutes later to counteract that.

Have no idea who beat me and Dave Pallett in the last two rounds to qualify for the WDT today, but him and his “team” were a frigging (a word used because I can’t tell the truth) disgrace. Can’t wish well for somebody like that, after already being told off by me for having conversations with his mates behind my back while I’m throwing never mind anything else, and me making a hash of a simple 4-2 win... at 3-3 with me nearly 100 up on his throw his lady friend came racing over in front of me as I was stepping up, stopped me from throwing, just to give him a double vodka red bull (which he necked, illegal in bdo rules)! Seriously!? And then 1 throw later ran across me to go back the other way. Talk about having a Gi(frigging)raffe Just been told had I stopped the game and pointed it out he would’ve been eliminated... never mind... 1 proper game away from WDT FFrigSake slightly tired of this

Oh.

I know, I know, pigs are getting ready to take off at the very idea that the BDO would publicise anything properly. So, as usual, we'll have to rely on Oche on Twitter - a sad state of affairs!
