I hope it's the camera thats shaking when you take the darts out the board

Really 200 people watching what is the point of wasting resources in streaming this watching it makes you feel you have a crick in your neck and the sponsors are virtually unseeable in the dark and gloom

It's great to be able to watch on a stream but the angle of the board and the lighting both on and behind the players is awful. Easily sorted I would have thought. - John?

Bully for you but it's being streamed for the benefit of people watching online, not those at the sodding venue.

Only watched a few minutes from my sun lounger in Greece...looks like it's set up in the right hand corner as usual (if you look from the stage).
The area is prob 10-12 ft deep with a very very low ceiling...almost impossible to light anything other than the board correctly. In my days I borrowed a 6ft lump of Truss and strapped it to a column that is player left...at least I could the bounce a couple of lights off the ceiling.....which is a forgiving/useless...black.
In honesty they should move the TV lane in order to light it better and provide something better for it's sponsors...

Cheers John, limitations of the venue not helping then.

Don't know the venue Ginge so can't comment, it is a shame because you do get the feeling that it could be easily improved.

John seems to think it can be moved so I'll go off his opinion.

Harms making his move towards a GSOD place, tough to keep the run going now though...
