Road To O2 Indigo At The o2 Arena (BDO Worlds 2020)

[Skewball]

Heard it on good authority from the Sheriff today that it is “99%” on at Lakeside.

Ah yes, he who knows all.

Reason it was so late to be announced last time was because Des was scrambling around trying to get a new venue signed and he ran out of time. With a full years run at it is he isnt going to go back there unless he is utterly desperate.

I would put money on it if I could. Lakeside all the way

[oche balboa]

It will be at Lakeside

Which means no new sponsor then, back to Uncle Bob cap in hand.

Surely you're not implying that Des was fibbing??

My county captain says it will be at Lakeside. A wise move. It is the BDOs base.

[foggs3355]

If It is there and ticked on sale late August more chances of shifting a few

Must be true then.

In fairness, that's where they always end up when no-one else will have them.

[Ginge]

County captains know everything.

County referees know everything.

Damn right!

If it is at lakeside I reckon folks will be reluctant to buy afternoon tickets. surely they will wait to see if freebies are on offer again?
