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

[Little Lonely Garry]

pdc - Sold out the 10,000 arena in Rotterdam in minutes
bd0 - struggling to sell a ticket for a 2000 seater in the UK

Phil Taylor was the only difference between the codes we were told

Yeah good try, comparing Netherlands a hotbed of darts and Preston like chalk and cheese

how about the 10,000 in berlin

or maybe the 10,000 in dublin

are those hotbeds as well.

I would bet if the pdc ran an event in the guild hall no advertising or publicity in free ad papers would be needed.

[Buzz Fledderjohn]

I think it's great to see the forum coming together to offer advice and ideas like this.
Who in the BDO hierarchy could seriously accuse forums of undermining that side of the game?

Well they wouldn’t get 10,000 at Guild Hall

Over seven sessions it's actually more seats than 10k....

I might go to this on the saturday

I’m there the final day

[oche balboa]

when will the bdo realize no one cares about their product except the partners and family of the bdo players.

TV companies dont care, even their own "fanatics" dont attend events.

So why are all there big events getting televised?

I really don't understand why these witch hunts are allowed on here, i get that the bdo are not very good at pretty much everything right now but why is this entire forum dedicated to attacking them?

Lets see.

This is a darts forum....where we discuss things darts related.

The BDO is a darts organisation, so discussing the faults of the bdo is hardly a shock

Maybe it's because "the BDO are not very good at pretty much everything". Just a guess

[only85]

Surely Tommy and the rest of the Lancashire players know where is best in Preston and didn't they say they had sorted out some differences?

Won't fault them for trying, they need to get on RockFm, 2BR or the Bee radio stations as their usually playing in most of the stores I go to.

oh dear cock fm try city beat more luck, stroll down from army & navy

Guild Hall on FB have been pushing events in October and the end of June on their FB page since the tickets went on sale. Maybe once they finally get round to promoting it on there they will sell some.

I'd understand that if it were the same for pdc, pretty much everything the bdo get grief over the pdc has done yet weirdly there is not the same level of harassment there.

The pdc gets it's share of stick on here when it does something amateurish or stupid.

Do you see the problem with your question now?

Thats because the PDC are not a bunch of idiots.

If they were to be as useless as the BDO they would get slated.
To think otherwise shows your victim mentality

If you want it to be equal you just need to troll the pdc threads more.

They will struggle selling 2000 tickets over the seven sessions, let alone one of them.

Once that A4 poster goes in Sallys Cafe in Leyland next week, they will be flying off the shelves mate.
