Eurosport though don’t care about no crowd watching at the venue.

Most of the snooker tournaments they screen from China have no one there. The promoters price the tickets sky high so the locals can’t afford to go. Is all about the massive TV audience in China.

Those promoters are well prepared with black curtains and rows of empty seats in shot for the TV cameras.

Expect David Owen to ignore this

For Ginge.

Are you claiming here the BDO are pricing tickets high on purpose so nobody attends?

Ridiculous comparison.

Ginge pretending to be thick there.

[Ginge]

Wot?

Not really the same though is it.

Snooker dont have constant shots of the crowd, its a shot of the table and they know a shot of a table has a million people in China watching, the world seniors at Scunthorpe the other year had an average of over 100,000 streams from China.

Darts with rows and rows of empty seats looks awful, look at last year and how much they tried to hide it and Duzza even brought up how bad it was.

Eurosport knows this but I imagine the top and bottom of this is they are paying nothing for 3 days of tv when they dont have anything else to show.

Still all speculation at the moment though isn't it.

When i tune in to watch the darts.....I want to watch the darts....not a crowd of people, I can see that anytime down town on a Saturday night.... Seems like you quantify a good game of darts by the amount of folk watching.....very sad, stick to the plastic side of darts if that's what turns you on.....

[Si Robin]

Defiantly!!

One of my pet hates that - people not knowing how to spell definitely so being tripped up by auto-correct.

For someone who claims to have absolutely no interest in the crowd and what is going on away from the stage when the darts is on, you've been known to get awfully worked up about flying pints of piss on a Thursday night.

That';s because the camera often shows the crowd holding up their silly signs......I don't want to be seeing that. You're the sort of guy who goes to a football match and watches the crowd all night.... the bigger the crowd the better the match eh?

[nikkiboy]

OMG they were there!!!!!













The Skipjack Tuna Fishcakes in M & S

No posters outside, not even in the ones that have been empty for the last month.

Maybe the BDO photocopier couldn't produce 5 foot posters..

I haven't seen a 5 foot poster since Rout left....

The bigger the crowd the better the atmosphere though. When you support a lower league football team and they play someone from a higher league and thus you get a bumper crowd the event is more enjoyable.
