Wondering (to be honest expecting though) if this year will be the last time Rotterdam will be a double header. According to Jacques Nieuwlaat the ticket sales were going alright, but definitely not as good as last editions. Difficult not to think 2x Rotterdam is a bit too much now Barney is gone.

I would have thought that Berlin would be a good shout for a double header.

No, he actually said "give us a couple of days", was very uncommital.

Mr Hearn does not need to kill the BDO, put a nail in its coffin or anything else. They are more than capable of doing it themselves.
Des Jacklin: ‘People say the BDO can’t compete with the PDC, but that is the biggest load of crap in the world’

God rest Alf Garnett and Prince Phil.

I used to love cycling but unfortunately I know a man who doesn’t like cyclists. :roadrage:

Just did a quick count, in the years 2015-2020, without counting the challengers, there have been 20 different players in the Premier League. From the 2015 players only 3 (MvG, Wright and Gando) are in the main competition this year (Bunting is a challenger this year and was in in 2015).

There's actually even more change at the top than I imagined.

No, no, no. It's the same players every year.

Rout said so.

At least he'll be pleased that the 3rd best player in the world finally got a chance ahead of Ian White. Bunting must be above him in the rankings, yes?
