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

[ChrisW]

Watched a bit of the pool on Freesports a couple of nights ago, it was very good actually.

They dont film their own stuff, will be taking a feed from the organisers so the quality of the production is very much in the lap of the gods.

I thought you already said who was doing it.

Nah I said I presume its the Dutch guys again who did the last WDT. It wont be Freesports (Premier) themselves.

They did a good job didn't they?

Well if you ignore the on screen caption of "Brain Dawson", I suppose so The Frontrunner debacle wasnt their fault, granted.

[The Jolly Man]

Could they not find a picture?

Oh for crying out loud

Well could have asked us we had a photo for her Pentathlon profile we have been releasing on our FB page ( England darts) I believe hers is the next to be released . They only had to ask ! But why didn’t they take a photo when she got through the play offs

But have the players given you permission that the information that you hold could be shared with the BDO. will all fall under GDPR from Friday.

[Ginge]

Thats a fair point Jolly

[BlueSpark]

A good point, well made there.

[ChrisW]

Indeed.

[Ginge]

I assume all the darting organisations have made full provision for the change of law, and contacted everyone accordingly?

I subscribe to the PDC newsletter. Haven't been mailed as yet. But to be honest I'm pretty fed up of receiving those GDPR mails.

not only did they spell his name wrong but also got the wrong spelling for his opponent as well

Some great ideas to shift some last minute tickets on BDOF

Richard Watson A bit of rivalry in the press between some players . " I'm gonna beat you up on that dartboard you're shite " "Fellow darts pro tried to sh.g my wife "
" I'm the best I'm gonna win this "
That'll put bums on seats and get viewers.

Someone else suggesting giving Beau Greaves a last minute wildcard would drum up interest and sell tickets.

Seen another one suggesting they go to the local working mens clubs and give out a few hundred tickets for each day.

Does anyone on there or involved with the BDO have any idea that its not 1993 any more,

Has anyone suggested yet that if they - THE 7000+ BDO FANATICS - bought some fekkin tickets then it would definately sell out.

Small problem: that involves getting some press coverage.

Bloody hell, twice in the same day!

[nikkiboy]

Bloody hell, twice in the same day!

It would have been too much effort to take the photo of Ryan off of THEIR OWN PAGE

[Ginge]

Haha, bloody hell

[nikkiboy]

Haha, bloody hell

She looks a little like a young Victoria Wood

[Wubbalubbadubdub]

Helen McCrory would be my guess.
