Just needs to make his mind up and announce what he’s doing instead of sitting on the fence

Don’t think anyone would say anything if he just came out and said “ this is my last lakeside”

No thanks. I prefer to follow the advice below. ;-)

"Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.” It is usually accompanied by a veiled insult from the poster.

In fairness, I don't think you are anywhere near stupid, just contrary for the sake of it. ;-)
Well I was trying to determine how succesful QS actually was for finding the best talent.
Here you go Paddy.

For the purposes of this let's define success as being ranked in the top 32.

Year - No. Of Cards - Guys that made top 32.

2011 - 25 - Dave Chisnall, John Henderson
2012 - 40 - Stuart Kellett, Dean Winstanley, Jamie Lewis
2013 - 25 - Darryl Gurney
2014 - 42 - Kyle Anderson, Benito Van De Pas, Gerwyn Price, Christian Kist
2015 - 34 - Alan Norris, Steve West, James Wilson, Jonny Clayton
2016 - 30 - None
2017 - 28 - None
2018 - 33 - None
Oh dear I thought as much..........its not really working is it....... the BDO is still the best route by a country mile......

Half of our party struggle to put their hands in their pockets let alone all the way down to sit on them.

Any truth in the rumour that this year he's not stumping up any cash for the prize money but just giving them Lakeside Hotel Holiday Vouchers instead?
