3 days in a row they become a laughing stock, take in £2960 from youths and give out 8 trophies. The youths would be better being run seperate. If true it was voted at AGM prize money will be paid then surely they can be sued?

Lisa Ashton has gone down in my opinion now, reading the facebook stuff and it appears she feels a certain amount of entitlement.

Rumors Des making decisions rough shot, never consulting many of the board. I do feel sorry for whoever takes over next. It needs to be someone independent, no ties to any county, players, venues. It needs a clear out, have some experience on board to advise but not make decisions.

Seedings, comp categories, entry fees should be set at the start of each season and stuck too, if something is wrong note it and change at AGM. If sponsors cant cover prize funds or tv companies then they need reducing, they do only effect the top 10% or so I guess the rest run at a loss with travel, hotels etc.

"The 4 youths involved in the finals have been taken aside to provide their bank details for prize money to be paid directly into their account so there is a prize fund for the youths"

Secrecy payments, just bloody announce it. So long as players whether young or old turn up never knowing the fund they are getting away with it.

They don't announce anything because they are making it up as they go along.

We'll see if we can get away with not paying the youth. Oh, wait, everyone's kicking up a fuss? Let's take them aside and quietly tell them there is a prize like that was the plan all along!

We'll try and quietly lower the prize fund by not announcing it ahead of time. Save a few quid. Oh, everyone is up in arms about that? Well it's definitely £60k after all. Will probably send us under but at least we save face and get a bit of instant goodwill out of it.

GoFundMe is up.

Ross the Boss has been particularly generous in donating about as much as money he's won in competitions the last 5 years.

That has to be the worst stage setup I’ve ever seen in darts.

To finish I go back to the alleged “useless and incompetent County officials”, not one of them, not one over 40 odd years would have voted to put ghost players in the draw, so if that is being incompetent then sign me up today.
TT forgetting , quite conveniently, that Des was voted in with the EDO backing as their preferred and supported candidate and lets not forget that other EDO board members were very vocal in trying to shout down anyone who warned about Des being a charlatan.
