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.
Ill be watching on Premier Sports bud -

Robson

like a small percentage of the people who call themselves fanatics who never actually attend events.
i am so sorry for my actions these last ten years, i'm going through a tough time

I'm pretty sure a lot of the BDO fanatics group attend events.

Why do they have footage of a PDC crowd, dartboard and if not mistaken a PDC player first up in the promo,there?
Looks like Bunting. Might be wrong.

Plus footage of a Lakeside from a few years ago. Odd.

At least this promo doesn't feature a random female player hitting the 7 seven segment during a scoring visit, like the one for the Isle of Man Open did last year...

They were the "sponsors" for the World Masters last year but seems it still lost an eye watering amount.

Will be paying peanuts, or just lobbing them some free boards.

Good Lord. Is that all they could get, some free boards as a sponsor.
This really is going to cost the BDO close to £100k. Worse than last year I would have thought .
