Hence why it's taking so long.
Bear in mind Channel 4 will have told them months and months ago they wouldn't be renewing.
They are responsible for sourcing sponsors, fan base, commercial arm etc etc according to the website guff and no one gives a toss about their product anymore. It's their fault as much as anyone else's.

You would think so wouldn't you. Surprised they haven't been able to get out of the contract for failing to get TV coverage for the recent Masters....

If the BDO set a precident of sueing people for failure then it stands to reason that they themselves could be sued for their utter failure over the last few years.Paddy McGinty wrote:Surely the contract works both ways...if Sportal fail to arrange a World Championship then they should be sued for their failure......Ginge wrote:And not a thing the BDO can do about it until the contract ends, it must be watertight as fek.BlueSpark wrote:Well they have had ample time to rearrange since the cash cow ended.Ginge wrote:Oh they will be on it.

Joking aside I guess this is just a postal/legal address. Companies without their own office premises must use this method?

The address on the website is merely the address of their accountants (Metcalfes) who will audit the Companies House returns...will be a "work from home" outfitDavidOwen67 wrote:Oh dear.
