6th BDO World Darts Trophy 30 Aug - 1 Sep Blackburn
Re: 6th BDO World Darts Trophy 30 Aug - 1 Sep Blackburn
So this "hotel deal" was obviously done with the expectation of the event being at the Guild Hall.. When that fell through they obviously thought sod it Blackburn is close enough.... They'll have to lay on transport then for anybody booked in there..

Anybody with any sense will quickly realise a) there are much cheaper offerings, and/or b) its sodding 10 miles away.trotter01 wrote:So this "hotel deal" was obviously done with the expectation of the event being at the Guild Hall..

Re: 6th BDO World Darts Trophy 30 Aug - 1 Sep Blackburn
In a previous job role, I spent a lot of time in Preston, Blackburn and Burnley, and stayed in the Tickled Trout on a number of occasions. It is in the middle of nowhere, just off Junction 31 on the M6 and from there, it is a nightmare to get to Blackburn Town Centre. In all fairness, it would still be a nightmare getting to the Guild Hall as the traffic through Preston is always heavy.Ginge wrote: ↑Mon Jul 22, 2019 6:50 pmAnybody with any sense will quickly realise a) there are much cheaper offerings, and/or b) its sodding 10 miles away.trotter01 wrote:So this "hotel deal" was obviously done with the expectation of the event being at the Guild Hall..

Cannot for the life of me understand this recommendation for hotel accomodation, as surely darts fans attending would want something relatively close, so that they could go for a couple of beers on the way to the venue without having to fork out for an excessive taxi fare.

So the hotel is £72 a night direct, room only
The BDO have basically secured a breakfast option for seven quid.

So this is the final entry list.
Due to incompetence of the highest order Gunge and his team have been laid off. (They should have been on the blower to check if a seating plan would be available).
Counting will now be done by Oche and Moongoose.
I trust their honest assessment of ticket sales attendance.

Crayons will be made available for the counting.
Re: 6th BDO World Darts Trophy 30 Aug - 1 Sep Blackburn
But make sure they only count folk who have paid for tickets. Knowing them they will count all the players and the folk with them who have passes. Tell them des and Paula don't count!

If Oche is doing the counting, don't expect any total to get above 3.
So probably very accurate.

Why hasn't Phil 'all darter' Haigh wrote a piece yet on the WDT?
Is he waiting for a lull in the news after Blackpool.

With Oche's info and the early surge for tickets we must be over the 200 mark now?
