Once they make the entry fee a few grand next year, it'll weed out these non-entities.

Entry fee for the snooker version was £1000 last year, up from £600 the year before. The darts one needs to match it, imo.

No idea, but at a grand (66% increase) it no doubt weeded out a lot of the jokers

Is it not great entertainment thou to see other fools back them up.

“It’s his money he can do as he wants”
“Fair play to him for having the balls”

I could rock up to q school 2020, go on the lash for 5 days, not throw a competitive or practice dart all this year, and still average more than thirty fucjin 9

Are your scores freely available to criticise for your games ?

dont see how this makes a difference.

People moaning shit players going to Q school and paying their money but dont moan when they go to other competitions and build up the prize pool for the better players.

Three events, the following players lost 4-0 first game each time:

Dessie Sheehan
Dan Woolloff
Heather Clare

Two players lost 4-0 in the first two events before deciding not to bother with the third:

One of these freely claimed to be trying to win a tour card, on all 4 mornings prior to play commencing . For all to read, joys of social media . At the same time you’ve other clowns telling him he’s good enough, keep up the practice . . He’s barely good enough to win a leg, why claim he’s trying to win a tour card...

It is up to anyone to do with their money as they see fit, however, before handing over hundreds of pounds to boost a private company's coffers they should test their abilities at super league level and BDO open events, well run events by unpaid volunteers and officials for small entry fees whose profits are reinvested not handed out in dividends to shareholders or the chosen few elite players. These deluded players have been brainwashed by a cult (change the L for a N if you wish) for the sole reason of emptying their pockets into a private ltd company that has no democratic elections, no morals, scruples and no thought for the grass roots of the game. I hope I am here to see the day when it all collapses, who will the players turn to then?

If I had the money then I would do exactly the same thing.
Then you would be just as big a fool as well. Why not just set up a standing order to Barry Hearn or buy him a new Saville Row suit?
