My eyes.
1) Ladies prize money being "addressed"- no conflict of interest there, no sirree.
2) "Runaway success"- gave away a boatload of free tickets, still couldn't get near filling the place.
3) "The biggest decision was made by me" - dear lord.
4) "Social media going into overdrive on day 1" - Paula made a lovely sign
5) Des is short for Desmond. Not bloody Derek.

"put us back into the commanding position we were in 20 years ago"
That ship has sailed, Desmond.

He must have some massive news up his sleeve here. My guess is O'Shea and Mitchell know about it and that is why they are staying.

Your second point is ridiculous. On the Monday and the Thursday there were rows and rows of empty seats and the same was true on the first Sunday. You are choosing not to see it.oche balboa wrote:1) it does need addressing whether theirs interest there or notDavidOwen67 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 15, 2019 8:38 pm My eyes.

2,350 in its usual theatre style configuration, obviously it won't be that for a darts event. Or it shouldn't be theatre style, anyway.BlueSpark wrote:What's the seating layout and capacity at the indigo?

They could have played the WDT final in a hospital theatre and there would have been room for more spectators than turned up.
I can only see the crowd numbers falling big time once they move it from Lakeside.
Maybe the "venue announcements" in Feb will clear that up.

Women's prize money does not need addressing. It's based on supply and demand.
There is little demand from the general viewing public, and the low entry numbers even in the bigger BDO comps (which drive the general prize money levels) are pitiful compared to the mens. In fact I've heard that men's comps often subsidise women's prize money at the same events.

Now he's claiming it was all him. Odd.
