They can’t
But by announcing a multi year deal with the only tv rival left they are basically sticking a middle finger up at hearns offer to help and still thinking they are the same as the pdc. Even Paul’s post on Sunday said that there is no difference between the 2 organisations.
If they use this to truly cement themselves as a secondary organisation then this can be great for them and can secure the future of the bdo. If they go into this thinking it’s the start of the rise of the bdo then it’s going to end very badly.
One quick thing, there is no mention of if Eurosport is doing the coverage or if they have just bought the coverage. 24/7 needs to be nowhere near this but Eurosport have taken their coverage before.

That last question is what would make this a great deal vs a good deal. There is going to be a lot of money needed for production and prize money.Zapp Brannigan wrote:BlueSpark wrote:They can never compete.

Re: BDO announce 3 year deal with Eurosport
Credit were it's due. A 3 year deal for and org many (myself included) thought was dead is fantastic news. Well done to all involved.
Ticket sales at Lakeside will still sell, it almost sells itself. The problem is the other 2 comps. One idea would be to offer those who but Lakeside tickets to be offered a 50% discount on tickets for other events.
They only need to double sales that way to still keep the same revenue. Even maybe a "season ticket" for all 3 events in a package.

serious question why are you going? you rile against the bdo why support something you hate with venom & constantly mock !BlueSpark wrote:Well done BDO, some continuity with their coverage. A good deal.
All that's left is to put Lakeside tickets on sale so i can buy some.
Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: BDO announce 3 year deal with Eurosport
Stephen Holland is happy to take the money instead, I reckon. Will this actually inject any cash into the BDO or are they on the hook for running tournaments they can't afford for three more years anyway? Better hope Des has all his promised sponsors on speed dial...Skewball wrote:Hes happy to take credit for it on the press release !Ginge wrote:Indeed.

Re: BDO announce 3 year deal with Eurosport
The way it's run is ridiculous, what else is there to do other than laugh? Even the most ardent BDO fan would agree. You only have to have a brief perusal at the fanatics pages to see this is true.only85 wrote:serious question why are you going? you rile against the bdo why support something you hate with venom & constantly mock !BlueSpark wrote:Well done BDO, some continuity with their coverage.

This is a darts forum, we are all darts fans and ergo watch darts wherever it is and whoever puts it on.
I think you may be slightly misguided as at no point have I ever said I hate the BDO, let alone with any venom. I play in and have attended BDO events and have so for years. Doesn't stop me laughing at them for their incompetence.
Hope this helps.

Re: BDO announce 3 year deal with Eurosport
About as good as they could hope for really. Just need to confirm the venue, get the tickets on sale and they will rescue this year's event.
Des in credit at the moment!
I notice they've moved the World Trophy dates to the end of August

Re: BDO announce 3 year deal with Eurosport
Why are some folk asking for other folk to apologise?
Apologise for what? Having a different opinion of how things would pan out? Not having the inside info?

It was the mocking not a difference of opinion - lots of humble pie being eaten by the looks of it...

Re: BDO announce 3 year deal with Eurosport
Why haven’t they announced the venue. That write up is written to not talk about Lakeside.

Presumably that was a free slot on Eurosport’s calendar??
