When will lakeside/or any other venue gets announced

[Ginge]

I remember posts from people (naming no names) giddy about Channel 4 pumping a load of money into the prize fund in the 2nd year of the deal.

Any luck?

[The Jolly Man]

No idea, this just muddies the waters. Probably now down to Sportotal as the BDO cant engage in meaningful discussions re. the venue until they are sorted?

But its a vicious circle as surely whoever is broadcasting it wants to know what venue it is at?

So have sportotal told them not to engage with Lakeside? Surely at the very least you sort the venue out which would not be part of the sportotal stuff to sort.

Didnt say that. But what do the BDO tell Potter when he asks what is going on with TV?

So is anything stopping the BDO from confirming with lakeside without waiting for sportotal and whatever they are supposed to be organising? With the fact that Lakeside haven’t invoked the hotel rooms for the week says they are happy to host no matter.

I guess the issue in that scenario may be if Potter would put up any prize pot

Would hazard a guess Potter can't decide anything until he knows what station is actually showing it.

Wonder if Potter has a cut off when he releases the rooms to general public

We've been told in confidence so we are not allowed......... all I can say is that the BDO will be having the last laugh.

I'm sure if someone posted on Fanatics that 'those in the know' have all the details then I'm sure all the players will be delighted to hear that there are people who know about it but not them, they will be delighted I'm sure! lol

How did your team get on last night Skewy?

[Ginge]

Apparently all will be revealed tomorrow.

At what time?

[Dannyboy]

Apparently all will be revealed tomorrow.

The clock is certainly ticking on this announcement of an announcement.

Where did this announcement of an announcement originate from?

Have sportotal ever had any of their deals they've negotiated for the BDO renewed?

No.

Unless I'm missing something very obvious.

Just to actually explain my point from earlier, the one that Oche missed: if they had actually done anything else for anyone it would be on the website or as a press release somewhere.

The only two deals on there as news articles relate to Lakeside 2017/8 and the Masters 2017. Both the same client and both well over a year old.

I'm assuming Des is hoping this deal ends after 2 years rather than any more...

Office address in Bury, but the landline dialling codes are for Macclesfield. Not remotely like to cause anyone to doubt them in the least whatsoever. No sirree.

I am in Bury 3 or 4 times a week. Should I pop in and say hello?

Popped over today. No news I'm afraid.

Not even a sportotal sign outside! Oh well I tried.
