Yes this type of event would be gone for good....the experiences, acquaintances and friends met would be thing of the past. The majority of keyboard warriors on here wouldn't understand.... they'd still be OK mind you........ bashing one off in their bedrooms.

Imagine going to PDC PL and trying to make friends......the thugs would more than likely throw a glass of piss over you.

"I have it on good authority that AMAZON are buying tv rights for sports and are looking to acquire new and exciting content.
COME ON BDO TIME TO GET IN THERE NOW."


According to this thread on real fanatics the answer to the op is clearly no!

The BDO need to start pitching to potential platforms like just off the top of me head How about an internet TV channel Called BDO TV. Where you can sub yearly or dip in on big tournaments for a one off fee new one day tournaments or lakeside 10 day pass. Here's another one you can have for Free BDO on line tournaments BIG new website where you can play others for a small pot of money o how could this be possible I hear you cry well you pay a fee by pay pal you have a live cam feed from your home with a paid ref in attendance who can see both sides and away you go ADD hock games tournaments and big prize Games. imagination and the balls to have a go is all it takes...


Lots of ideas coming on fanatics. Not sure about this one though.

Stranger things have happened, have you seen some of the shite that gets made by Amazon and Netfix?

Ah, back when some people thought Disney was going to invest in the BDO product, those were the days.
