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

[Ginge]

Why don't people listen hands are tied with some things the sh#t the old regime put in place things take time as for Chizzys manager the BDO didn't want him so that'll never happen all I'm hearing and seeing is NEGATIVITY NEGATIVITY I personally am getting sick and tired of hearing and seeing this if you can do a better job apply for the position yourself the BDO isn't and never will be in the position the PDCs in but it's in a better position ty Han it was a year ago

it didn't go down well. But most folk are wising up that des needs to say something.

What deluded fool wrote that?

How dare patience wears thin 7 weeks before a major event with no venue and sponsor!

The spin is starting

“Tried our best, couldn’t do anything but it’s all Wayne sue and sportotals fault so don’t you dare say anything negative about us”

[oche balboa]

Des Jacklin was on the board, He knew what the problems were but he still gave that Metro interview

[Ginge]

Will any venues with glitz and glamour still be available 7 weeks beforehand, during prime wedding season?

[oche balboa]

Will they change the dates?

[Ginge]

They probably cant, TV company will want something to show on those dates and the contract was signed on that basis.

[Buzz Fledderjohn]

Let's hope the TV contract didn't specify "must be held at venues with glitz and glamour", or they really are in trouble.

[Ginge]

Even crappy WMC function rooms will be booked up with weddings.

Is the Memo Arts Centre available?

[clemy1989]

The WDT the gift that keeps on giving!

Is the Memo Arts Centre available?

Would you believe that according to the list of events on their website, it is fully available on the dates in question?

I imagine Des would rather scoop his own eyeballs out with a piss-soaked teaspoon than go back to Sue's last-ditch desperation venue though.

Not his choice by the looks of it.....

[BlueSpark]

They could hold it in a village hall with the amount of fans that will turn up

That's a good point, I'd momentarily forgotten that.
Do we know if Sportotal sorted that venue out last time?

This is the thing...surely they didnt. They never mentioned it on their website and it was round the corner from Sue's house, so why are they suddenly having to sort it now?

Unless Sue sorting that out herself was one of the 27 "breaches".

Memo Arts Centre was named 44 days before the event (tickets went on sale 2 days later). I believe we are now at 50 days before the 2019 version?

I'd always assumed that venue was the result of Sue going rogue and bypassing Sportotal given how local it was to her, but seeing as no-one ever actually owned up to it, I wasn't sure.

If that is one of the 27 breaches, I'd love to have a look at that contract. Sportotal were contractually obliged to find the venue, they didn't bother so Sue sorted it herself at the last minute, and she's the one in breach.
Only she could have signed up to something like that.

If that's the criteria then there's an empty telephone box at the end of the street.

Sue found out they could get the venue for free as it was part of a council project to get local events there, so I imagine she told sportotal and they got it done

Other than the World Darts Trophy being classed as a "local event", that sounds like a reasonable explanation.

Bdo is registered at a Cardiff address so that helped them
