6th BDO World Darts Trophy 30 Aug - 1 Sep Blackburn

[Ginge]

Des was hardly going to go on radio and say the event was off, ffs. Would have been very embarrassing only 45 minutes into a three hour slurp fest, and he clearly was unconfortable answering it as he said "can I say no comment?".

Either it will be announced on Monday, or it will be announced as being cancelled on Monday five minutes before he gets on a plane and can switch his phone off.

Former much more likely than the latter.

So you reckon it is.on. If so why was he so cagey about answering?

No idea, hes being ignoring players emails and calls etc...so its consistent with that at least. However he could hardly ignore a question near the start of a live 3 hour radio love-in.

Must have known he would have been asked live on radio, should have been prepared

Probably wasnt banking on many outside the county listening, now a man of his ego would have had this programme advertised on FB and everything normally, but didnt see a peep the other night until I saw a Tweet at about half six. Clearly wanted it to go under the radar.

Something weird is going on. If he did have all these venues/sponsors lined up, all he had to do was put them in touch with Sportotal and let them seal the deal and cream off whatever they were due. So it’s baffling why they don’t have a venue announced, assuming that is the issue.
Unless they were banking on Preston again and that went tits up.
Odd.

Very very odd. Not even Des could have buggered this up, something must be afoot .

I suspect there will be another kicking the can down the road on Monday (There will be no news on the event either way)

Its a farce regardless of who's to blame for it

Why do you say that. They still have cash.

However could they close the enterprise part or whatever it’s called so the deal is then void with Sportotal? Then run the events under similar but fundamentally different guise. Such as run the worlds as a WDF not a BDO event.

Lots more info on real fanatics re des interview (can't post link though).

Who is Paul on about when he says ...if you are a BDO person you should be working for the org and not against it ? And if the interview was done today it would be very different. ?

[Demolition_fan]

Hold on, this event starts the end of August and no one knows where it is or can buy a ticket?

[markymark]

It's Dan Dawson's fault for not being pro-BDO enough. I know he's a PDC employee, but he's never struck mens being unfair in his comments.

Oh, and is this shite still not on?
