joking aside: isn't it ridiculous that Richard Ashdown has no idea what is happening with an event he will be officiating at (in some capacity)!
Seriously was the public criticism this bad under previous leadership? And still silence reigns.

the communication under this regime is worse than the Williams.

All those people who said on here and FB that 'He can't do any worse than the previous lot'

Well, on every score that matters that he has control over then yes, he somehow is now worse than the Williams

:DDDD: :DDDD: :DDDD: :DDDD: :DDDD:

Well done Des. Nearly a year in charge and you are sinking the BDO to new lows.

At least the Williams would go out and pay people a visit from time to time.

Why go on the radio and announce you will probably make announcement at the beginning of the week, without knowing you actually will.

What every happened to that roger fella?

Surely he could have got the WDT a venue even with his huge conflict of interest managing PDC players.

I assume when he agreed to do the radio thing, he genuinely thought everything would be sorted by then (I'm still of the opinion this was supposed to be on in Preston, but he was kept in the dark about how bad the Guild Hall's problems were - the irony).

In fact, he was probably planning his triumphant announcement for that night. Then, when the wheels fell off, his choice was kick the can down the road, or cancel his big moment on local radio.

I think that on the "making a large loss on a tournament" bit of the score he's probably doing better.
