That's your problem in a nutshell. 8-) Too gullible and clueless to recognize "expert" BS for what it is. But then, you've pretty made much a forum career out of it, so don't be stopping now.
At one point this week Nicholson said hello to everyone watching live on Eurosport Australia....at a time the channel was showing skiing.

So we should believe you over a professional player and media worker?? I’ve heard it all now.

You’ve made a forum career out of telling everyone you know everything when you know didy squat. :grin:

When you decide to get off your high horse we’ll have a sensible discussion but no one is holding their breath...

Darts is already huge in Japan and the far east. Hundreds of millions of people watch BDO events on illegal streams.

Something about England not sending a team to the World Cup.

Damn that Jenny Foreigner!

Aren't you the same person who earlier insinuated that lack of professional coverage in print and broadcast media don't matter and Twitter et al. are where it's at? Guess people working in media do matter when they say what you want to hear.

What discussion is there to be had? I laid out facts, you want to keep fooling yourself with comforting fictions. Be well.

I missed the ladies final. Which "experts" on the coverage were proclaiming it would have a profound effect in Japan, please?

What facts? That national newspapers weren't covering the story you mean? The fact also is that it was trending on Twitter - don't believe if you don't want to!

Something trending on Twitter doesnt mean a load of Japs are now going to go out and start playing darts. Was in trending on Twitter in Japan? Someone asked was it even on telly in Japan, nobody has answered. Was it?

Yeah obvs but that wasn't the point. Apparently the story wasn't in the national newspapers...

Can you answer either of my questions? Actually there were three if you include my post from about 13 mins ago. I genuinely dont know the answer to any of them.

An excitable Paul Nicholson was waxing lyrical about Suzuki after her win and said 'Take the Darts Trophy to Japan, Why Not?"

It was only available in Japan via You Tube.
I heard there was 14,000 viewers on you tube during that (or another Suzuki match)
