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

[ChrisW]

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.

Ashdown quit about 2 months ago. Announced it last month and in a few days the rest resigned from BDO events only.
Will still work with EDO, WDF, all other BDO ranked events.

Where is the schedule for Saturday?

[Moongoose McQueeen]

Couldn't make it today. Work being a bitch. Thankfully I paid in advance for my ticket so my loyalty cannot be questioned

I'll take "Things that aren't true" for $500, please Alex.

Just got in from work as it happens.

That's a wrong one.

[ChrisW]

Surprised they didn't ask Jim about his wife expecting.

[Ginge]

Surprised they didn't ask Jim about his wife expecting.

Did he enter her and then quickly change his mind but stayed in anyway?

Finally on Radio Lancs now, Mitchell,Ashton and Winstanley. They were picking walk on songs and John Gilmore would have had "the Hustle" and then Mitchell replies that the song would make him walk too slow on the oche, fekking coffee everywhere

[Wubbalubbadubdub]

Finally sobered up from yesterdays sojurn!

Ticket price-Free both sessions. Went to enquire at the box office for Tickets to Rhod Gilbert(already bought them yonks ago) was asked by someone from KGH if i was around for the day and wanted to watch darts(thank god I wasn't in fancy dress).

Atmosphere-Crap just totally crap

Setup -The background of the board looked like a blind person had placed kitchen magnets on a fridge door, frequent scoreboard outages and sound problems.

Darts- Can't complain as most matches were interesting to watch, just a few horrendous performances in the whitewashes. My bet on McKinstry went early but had got on Scott Taylor e/w at 100/1 at the bookies down the road from KGH.

Primetime sport this evening. Perfect warm up for Lomachenko fight. BDO could look into PPV an untapped income stream. I'd pay just to watch the exciting new callers.

[Deleted User]

Seriously.?
Nothing but women's darts all day?
I'm at a loose end and was thinking about heading up there.
Sod that. I'll watch the PDC stuff on a stream.
