Say what you like about ladies darts, best atmosphere and numbers at the walk on there. Good game.
You there tonight, Devo?

Thinking of heading up there.
Air guitar in hand, obvs.
No. Back home watching final score.
Ah well. Bollix to you!
Going anyway.
Leaving now, hopefully still giving away tickets. :D
I would join you if it wasn’t 240 miles up the road

Are you going to sit next to Paddy and the 1000’s of other ‘fanatics’?

Weird. I can't find them anywhere.

Paid my 18 quid to get in.
Crowd is about 200 I'd guess. Bloke just win a t-shirt for dancing like Oche on a chair to Tom Hark by The Piranhas.

Welcome to the BDO.

This bloke Smith's calling is incredibly annoying.

Wish I'd stuck my hat in the ring now.

Fair play, for a ladies match that was very watchable.
Fair few in tonight by the looks. Things on the up.
The venue being known for the next two years will pay dividends.

You do realise Unicorn have a major shareholding in the PDC?

Their boards are not changing any time soon no matter how much they fall apart on TV.

Tricky, I know.
I know, PDC could ask for better quality boards though, better for tv.

having been yesterday going tomorrow be intresed in your views i thought there was deffo a better vibe around the tourney v last year certainly more bums on seats even v event city & the whole thing seemed better (granted couldnt be worse) however do you feel bdo may have turned a corner as that was the vibe i picked up or do you think its still doomed to failure i particulary liked the player practise area at the back just wondering around & the acsesability
A cautious optimism maybe. This has been better than folks expected. Let's see what tomorrow crowds are like.

btw I know a lot of folk don't rate ladies darts but numbers would drop without them.
Hot Potatoes: the very best of Devo.

This match between Laura Turner and Paula Jacklin has been pretty poor this far.

Both looking really nervous, and hope they can settle down and play the darts they are capable of.

Trina really struggling.
