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

[ChrisW]

No darts on Eurosport in the Netherlands this weekend.

Eurosport Player only.

So does this mean that if the darts flops on Eurosport in the uk it could get demoted to the player?

Is the event being shown in Australia this weekend?

Yes. On the eurosport guide there.

Have Eurosport got any pre-recorded motor racing in the archives they can cut to on Sunday night just before the final?

Judo, Tennis and Vuelta. Vuelta coverage over here has been pretty poor this year.
Also WDT is not showing on the TV schedule on NL Eurosport.

They can’t cut to tennis. As I posted before Amazon have the tennis rights in U.K. not Eurosport.

Chris doesn't live in the UK.

Okay. Can’t see locations on Tapatalk.
Sorry, easy mistake to make as this is an English language forum so would expect vast majority here to be British not Dutch.

[only85]

Ha! The plan worked!

I wonder how many winners there are?

Anyway going on Saturday afternoon. Full, honest report will be posted on here.

Regulars will be there

[malcy93]

I guess Eurosport consider their top two sports this weekend to be US Open tennis and Tour of Spain cycling. So that fills their two TV channels in mainland Europe.

They obviously asked for the BDO to schedule WDT this weekend as they knew they had a hole in their British schedule with 1 channel free as don’t have tennis here so darts is a very cheap filler of 3 days of live programming.

I am British for how long I'm not sure.

Should I wear one of my devo t shirts at Blackburn? Will that put me at risk of verbal and slapping assaults?

Lots of folk will be there who may not have paid for their tickets.

I hear they let the players in free too.

[BlueSpark]

Is this on in the afternoon tomorrow?

[Ginge]

Is this on in the afternoon tomorrow?

Yes.

[BlueSpark]

Good.
Looks like I have a crap day in store at work tomorrow.
I could do with a laugh

[Ginge]

No women on tomorrow so laughs will probably be limited, tbh.

[ChrisW]

Qualifiers today. 100 pages of excited discussion but now it is here.

[Ginge]

EXCITING!!!

Will Ted Hankey turn up?
Will Leighton Bennett throw a big strop if he loses?

Nobody knows.

EXCITING!!!

Will Ted Hankey turn up?
Will Leighton Bennett throw a big strop if he loses?

Nobody knows.

I would say the answer to both questions is Yes.

[Ginge]

He's like a modern day Reece Robinson.

[ChrisW]

Hankey will be there.
Bennett's strop about nobody listening to Wayne?

[Ginge]

Was a bit of a Frank Grimes moment by Wayne wasnt it?
