Mark Williams did win the seniors title a 2 or 3 years ago...he did say at the time it was a bit of a joke and then he won the normal World title again this year ...

Mind you ..when there were seniors darts events I think Taylor was talked about playing when he was still winning TV titles...age is difficult to judge

I've been rather busy the last few days and haven't really been keeping up with goings on.

Can I just get confirmation that the current state of play is that a bunch of aging, semi-retired snooker players dusting off their cues for a bit of a laugh and a drink with their old mates have managed to secure themselves a TV deal, whilst the BDO "World Professional Championship" is still struggling to attract any interest whatsoever?

Because if that's the case, it's a little bit embarrassing, isn't it?

Oh and as I said, I realised this morning I hadnt seen a single Twitter or FB post about the Turkish Open and thought "are they feeling alright"?

My optimism was short lived when I actually took a proper look:



The pairs events are really really important, apparently. At least they are being slagged off in the comments.

And:

"I rang the BDO today. They said they had no news. Im afraid I don’t think it will happen. If it does it won’t be full which will make matters worse for future years sponsorship/ tv deals etc."

Kanovska and @IceQueen180 miss out on the final following a 4-0 defeat by @trinagoldengirl and Jacklin. They will play Allsop and Prommetta who beat @JulieLambie180 and Gilbert in the semi final #2018TurkishOpen.

Paula in the Final.......great news after all the negativity.

On the flipside if it's premier sports then they will be over the moon with the 10,000 extra subscribers they will get as soon as it is announced due to the fanatics all subscribing to watch the darts....

Lakesides latest response.

"we are currently being starved of information from the BDO, not spoke to them for weeks and all I can say is I hope any hour any day now they now they come forward and tell us something"

"we really hope its actually on and at the Lakeside as we booked the venue and hotel out months ago in anticipation, if its not on we are going to end up losing a lot of money"

Doesnt sound good at all.
