41 comments, most commented thread for months.
Some don't believe it, hardly a shock. The learned among us know the score. We thought they had sacked it off, now confirmed.
A sad day. Not going to get much better by the looks either
Idiots.

Hopefully they'll see this is out in the open.
Transparency my arse.

It will be a good yardstick of Des and his supposed business acumen/negotiating skills to see the broadcast medium for this in the end.Ginge wrote:Except now we have it direct from the station.

Broke a story officially.
Re: Uncle Des and/or Auntie Sue lose Channel 4
How thick are people from the original Fanatics. Reality check couldn't happen to them any sooner. Can only think of the situation as similar as the one at Barry.

Bravo
Anyway I see one of the Fanatics has now asked Channel 4. They are going to be upset when they get the same reply.

He did Indeed claim thisGarry Murphy wrote:trotter wrote:Des has obviously known that for weeks..Lakeside have known that for weeks which sort of confirms that Bob Potter is happy to stage it but not put up the sponsorship with no major TV coverage...all of which leaves the BDO in a mess and it's no wonder they are running round trying to get TV and /or sponsorship before they can confirm it's at Lakeside or wherever....very sad really
They have a sponsor.
Remember when Des gave his speech when he put his name forward for chairman ?
He claimed to bring in sponsors he had already lined up, I hope you are not suggesting he is a liar ?
