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

[Ginge]

Just looked at the Sky EPG for next Wednesday.

What on earth is this?


Are they going to be showing a blank screen for 5 hours?

[BlueSpark]

Why are they not showing the World Darts Trophy?
Odd.

Odd.

It doesn't go as far as 7pm yet. It will very soon though.
It's what they are showing between 2 and 7 which is a mystery. No such event exists

EDIT - my mistake, goes as far as half 7 now. Still showing the "World Darts Open", all one block from 2pm until at least 7.30

Their "carefully selected" broadcast partner getting the name of the event wrong for starters; let alone starting coverage 5 hours before it begins.

A 5 hour preview show with the amazingly gripping punditry skills of the likes of Deta and O'Shea

Or perhaps a 5 hour interview with Scotty dog

Maybe a couple of Scotland Ladies B matches.
Just about squeeze them in.

[BlueSpark]

All they will be broadcasting is an empty hall.
At 7.

Not totally empty. Here's hoping they have some signs for folks to write messages on. Watch out for a TSOD one if they do and if there is someone I can cadge a marker pen off.

If you look on the Freesports website programme guide they have got it right, so I would suggest that Sky don't update that frequently.

However, Freesports have not got any darts on the Saturday night according to their website, which is bizarre!

EPGs are sent to broadcasters by the channel or an agent employed by the channel.

[BlueSpark]

Add it to the howlers list.
Shit, wrong tournament.

[BlueSpark]

Oh dear.

Ha! Too little too late. And my experience of county chairmen off here is that they won't pass the info on for ages

What is the discount code? Is it "mushr00m"?

[BlueSpark]

Be a kick in the sack if County members had already forked out full price.

In which case they haven't updated Sky, as they know what they are showing

Anyone seen my bestie? No matter, I'll send him a message, if I can work out how to do it.
While I'm here, this tournament and lack of tickets being purchased seems to be very popular discussion on here.
Is darts not popular anymore?

Why don't you fuck off Jerome. You are a complete and total has been.

Robson on the other hand has been a total success and his performances on Wire in the Blood in particular were fantastic.

What have you done lately.

[Ginge]

People have had weeks to decide to go or not to go.
Why would knocking £3.75 off the price of a ticket the week before suddenly make you change your mind?

Totally desperate.

Most chairmen will have done sod all with the email. I remember Ian saying the Warks chairman only sent out the one about the Fish Market free coaches once the deadline had passed

[Ginge]

Maybe they should give this a go again...

Cheeky blighter.
Why is your name a different colour to mine?
It should be green, in honour of your hero.
