Its like a man in a royal blue zip-up jacket when the sun is shining and he doesnt really need to wear it.

Wikipedia says it's full steam ahead.

Well that worked

Whoever did that edit is retarded, they could have taken the word "Lakeside" out of the box on the right and the first line of the article

Amateurs.

Definitely.

The BDO have said they will announce the new venue in September 2018

Not sure why this thread has so many posts - The BDO will get stuff done - They always do - I want it at Lakey - But you need to let the past be the past - How about the appolo in manchester - Or the academy -

How can the BDO not be held responsible for wrong entries of events in its calendar when it has put events in its calendar that have t been asked to do so. The Finish Open being the example. But also that the ADO only had its closing dates for applications for BDO point weekend just gone.

Apparently there "may be a meeting on Monday" now

Which week?

What on earth is Des waiting for or trying to do?

Scrambling around trying to find a TV deal and/or a different venue (which would need a new sponsor) on better terms and cancelling meetings to try and stall for time, IMO.

The only thing that could have caused this delay in announcing lakeside is arguing over sponsorship (i.e. tv)- which has a knock on to ticket prices.

A farce.
I think ticket sales will be the worse yet for Lakeside, especially mid week.
And if it's on premier sports or something then it's game over for bdo.
But
I still think ch4 to be honest, they have just bargained them down to a much lower fee.

CH4 removed the darts page from their website weeks ago. Not a chance in hell of them going near the World Pro - if the event happens at all.

Yes Nick, I cannot understand for the life of me that in a exbo billed as "Netherlands vs Uk" they are not having Adams and Wright play each other.

Perplexing. Baffling, even

Beat me to it. Nick really is a bit dim

People continue to get ignored on the Lakeside Darts FB page, I see.

Did Des spend all weekend dodging questions, I wonder?

Something about transparency

Probably time to ask Des on the Fanatics again, mate.

Someone posted the other day asking if the Open and Classic were televised.
I said I doubted it as even the Masters wasn't on the telly as far as we knew and the Jacklins liked the comment

[Ginge]

Surely Sportotal are out there in the broadcasting marketplace earning their fee for the BDO, no? Or are they busy dealing with all of their other clients? Oh....
