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...
Do you have the link.
Tried search YouTube but too many clips come back in search. Can you remember year as that will narrow it down.

Hopefully they don't underestimate how long matches take when hardly any legs are under 15 darts.

Bit odd asking for your subscription back when it's a free channel mate.
I suggest you become more financially aware.

Thank you :)

Regarding the TV coverage of this absolute shambles.

If you check the Sky EPG it says the Saturday night session is on as a freeview on their Premier Sports channel so I take it to mean unencrypted.

However that means they lose Freeview which will be most of their potential viewers but gain Virgin customers assuming they unencrypt on there as were.

So will also be unavailable on TVPlayer online. Premier Sports have their own web stream and app but again no idea if that will be unencrypted.

I presume they have gone for the Kick Boxing as it seems a regular feature for them Sky EPG says it’s episodes 19 and 20 plus it’s live from the NEC Arena in Birmingham so sounds a big event, much more so than BDO darts.

The 16sec clip which is also on BDO YouTube page doesn’t show a PDC crowd nor a PDC player although it does look like Bunting’s darts flying into the board in the first shot although you can’t see the player!

But, but, but there are 7000 people who have signed themselves up as "fanatical" about the BDO. They must have all bought tickets, being so "fanatical". Or something.

Either that or the Facebook group needs its name changing to "The Real BDO Mildly Interesteds"

Curiouser and curiouser.
Just checked the Virgin EPG for next Saturday. Premier Sports are listed as showing the darts but NOT as a freeview broadcast. Looks like it will be encrypted on Virgin but not Sky.

Give real fanatics some credit. They are not afraid of discussing the problems of the bdo and being critical when necessary. Original fanatics is bland, 'positive only' stuff, that is dying imo.

Saying that not many real fanatics are going.
