Desperate stuff.

Desperate stuff.

At least they are consistent

[Ginge]

Paulyboy will be going round the local WMCs with A4 laminated posters as well...

[BlueSpark]

I'm sure TT has loads of contacts.

[BlueSpark]

Can't they advertise on the tv channel which will be broadcasting the event?

[Ginge]

I'm sure TT has loads of contacts.

Fair point, given they are apparently bestest buddies now I am sure he could share...

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

[BlueSpark]

They've already stuck an ad in all the free newspapers.

Wasn't there a BDO event a while ago when one of the complaints was that even the local taxi drivers didn't know it was on?
Looks like Des has that base covered at least

Big darting pubs and clubs for starters , any cafes , Corner shops , private businesses that you know of that advertise with posters , anyone get a delivery service ( newspaper , Tesco, etc) I could get in touch with to see if they will take flyers ? . All advertising helps .

Corner shops and cafes.
Genius.

[BlueSpark]

Advertising outside of Preston may help.
Just a thought.

Try the local free newspaper which has the leaflets in them. But it’s a sad state of affairs that they already think they have to resort to this.

[BlueSpark]

How about actually pay for some proper national advertising not done on the cheap?

Or a banner on a darts forum.

Do they not realise it costs to put leaflets in newspapers?

Heaven forbid they have to spend any money on it.

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

[Wubbalubbadubdub]

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.
