If a business is bankrupt and with the administrators, it's a bit late to be calling any shots.

Claims he lost 6m on the place and now is taking legal advice because PCC took control of it, the bloke is crackers.

Claims he lost 6 million on it, and then later in the very same sentence describes the venue as "booming".
I'd hate to see what his losses would be like at a struggling venue.

How does the BDO consistently find these cretins to go into partnership with?

The guy Rigby owns shed loads of things. Massive portfolio of hotels etc. Did own or maybe still owns Bet Sid. They also took on the soft tip darts 🙈 at the Level 1 in guild Hall.

There is a we site of all the business they own which I cant find. Very impressive tho.

Didn't he get the guild hall for £1 from the council.

Are we right to assume that the BDO has not been on contact with Ana on the plans of the WDT, Masters and Lakeside?

Bet Sid had 6 shops. He shut 3 and sold 3 in Feb this year.
He lost £2m on them by the end of 2017 it was reported and they were running at a loss when they shut down.

Yet another rich lucky property developer who got rich on property values and when they came to actually try run a business.... well it turns out they are not genius business men. Ring any bells?

He was on local TV when he rescued the guild hall.

It was a dump. Done it up etc.

think it was a labour of love (he w r entered as a kid).
So maybe a good guy with money, who bit off more than he could chew

100% mate.

Heard absolutely nothing apart from the usual stuff from fellow players we all heard that they have had meetings with Bunn, O2,Lakeside.

She is more than peed off and is now skipping events to do demos as we dont knowing its worth spending money to earn ranking points.

All set for Gernany though in November.
