You claim to be a bdo fan...prove it then and attend the event.
But you wont, like the other 7,000 cretins who laughingly call themselves fanatics, you like to spout you are a fan but wont do a single thing to prove it.
i am so sorry for my actions these last ten years, i'm going through a tough time

Concentrate on looking after the thousands of us regular players - not a group that to be fair are long past their sell by date.
Well I’m watching so take your opinion and stick it where the sun doesn't shine

Given this is on free TV I expect it to totally thrash the PDC World Cup in the ratings, to prove Lee Taylor wrong....

It would make a good sitcom think Peter Kay could write a good one based on it maybe have Johnny Vegas in it as well

BDO are to blame for that. Lee Taylor looks like he has been got at by Bluespark

Some of the posts on here about taking the BDO forward demonstrate the issue. They focus on things like TV channels, playing formats, wildcards, prize money etc. All this is the WRONG place to start. The sad thing is the same calibre of people appear to be making the decisions. Darts people are not business people.
I work for a mutual company, one run for the benefit of its members. ALL our members must be at the heart of everything we do, this is important. But so too is running a commercially viable proposition. This is why you have appropriately skilled commercially minded (and regulated) people in charge.
What actually needs to happen, is that the BDO needs to develop a commercially viable proposition that reflects the needs of its members (players). Given the volume of darts players in the UK, this should be easy. This proposition may not (shock horror) involve competing with the PDC, running televised competitions etc. The BDO could no doubt carve out a successful situation that leverages thousands of players who have no hope of gaining a tour card and surely that would be a success?
Do you think of the PDC decided to take an interest in Amature darts they would do what the BDO does?! No of course not! They would no doubt work out a system that bought in revenue and could be used to develop grassroots in some way. A commercially viable proposition...
