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

[Paddy McGinty]

Seriously. Martin Shaw's attempts get worse by the day. I still te member him kissing up yo Feel the Prowler at that exbo on YouTube.

Friday -50 + 60
Saturday - 130 + 200
Sunday - 120 + 120

Best estimates from being there and the coverage. Some had all day tickets but I make that 680 at a best estimate. Call it 700 for luck amongst about 500-550 different people discounting for multiple sessions. No allowance that a raft of tickets on the first 3 sessions were given as freebies - they still count.

Fling and dartsyounggun are probably the closest to the real figure..

Fair enough, I might have been slightly out in the my first estimate. I've just checked my recordings from the TV and this is what I've counted.

Friday - 190 + 280
Saturday - 350 + 500
Sunday - 320 + 480

2170 but lets round it down to 2150 for luck. That's some achievement.

Yes that's what I make it..

[Ginge]

Friday day was around 100
Night was 300-400

Utter bollocks. 50 in the day and not many more at night.
Sat night was the busiest and I was there. Counted approx 200 and that's generous as it included the players and all the kids from the youth academy.

Man goes to watch darts tournament and counts audience...........Weird.

Leave Pauly alone!

Can't trust a tally from someone who is known to drop off during the session.
Who knows how many he missed.

[devosteve]

350 paying punters on Saturday afternoon? I don't think so.

[Ginge]

Oh ffs! Devo!

[mshaw2]

350 paying punters on Saturday afternoon? I don't think so.

You could be right. Hall holds 520 and it was packed. Could have been 400+ easily.

Man needs to fill time between matches and wants to know information relevant to the survival of BDO as we know it.........Not weird.

You've no need to worry about the survival of the BDO, Dessie has it sorted. They don't put crowd sizes on trophy's..........

Why not? It wouldn’t take up much room.

[Ginge]

Trophy's what?

Paddy is a moron. Typical fanatic - didn't turn up - and claims 500 were sitting in a room with 200 seats on Sat night.

Thinks he's clever as well, but can't even write his name in the ground with a stick.

[ILAD]

If you take out the players, their family and their friends, then you don’t have much left. Poor poor show from the so called ‘fanatics’.

Masters will be absolutely no different

It's the size of the numbers on the prize payments that people are more worried about.

And I think the Circus Tavern is a larger venue than Blackburn.
