Chaos and disaster-2019 One80 LStyle World Masters (Oct 25-27) Venue-Circus Tavern

[Addicks Fan]

A disaster from start to finish. How much money has this cost?

Our resident accountant will submit his figures tomorrow.

I can't wait

As long as he remembers the approx £15,000 from entry fees for the World Masters and Pro that will offset some of the gargantuan losses made by this staging of the world's oldest major...

[Addicks Fan]

Just got in having travelled back from Tenerife, so have not been on Twitter as I am watching tonight's darts on Sky+ and was wondering if the interview with Des Jacklin actually took place.

No-one knows - if he did give an interview, it'll be worth listening to, whether he is telling porky pies or not!

Nothing has surfaced as yet.

Remove the fake names and you can half that figure.....

Tomorrow by the looks of it.

It’ll be everyone else’s fault apart from his own.

What’s the Challenge trophy that John O’Shea holds for 1 year?

A disaster from start to finish. How much money has this cost?

I’d guess at about £60k

£10 in entry fees probably covers the hiring of 2 venues, production fees and broadcasting fees so your looking at the whole prize fund being lost (hence why they was so keen to put a contract in front of you saying If you did this or that you wasn’t getting paid)

Add on the losses for the wdt (which we can assume was pretty high when you consider players only got paid this month) nd its not been a good first year.

Going by estimates that Paul has used in the past and actual Masters losses in the last then probably closer to £80k

Venue and production costs would be less than the past.

Can’t imagine circuits tavern would be asking for a lot to hire out compared to brid spa and others

And Eurosport was only taking an internet stream (hence the problems)

31'30" Des interview starts

[mshaw2]

Excellent production, cracking darts and another winner off the conveyor belt. The BDO really is in great health.

[ChrisW]

Not resigning. Just a 'bad day'.

Which Masters are you comparing to? I cant see production and venue costs being much less at all to be honest, especially production, it was a pretty full on OB set up. And of course Eurosport probably gave BDO diddly squat. (And any money they did pay would have been creamed off by Sportotal who probably actually have the contract anyway.

No fake names , all rumours he knew nothing!

[dartsweekly]

Episode 128 of the Weekly Dartscast podcast and it's our finals day at the World Masters Special with guests John O'Shea, Lisa Ashton, Des Jacklin, Paul Nicholson, John Gwynne and Paul Booth

[ChrisW]

"Somebody not myself and I'm not going to say who it was. But I take full responsibilty"

Fair enough

[Zapp Brannigan]

So in conclusion

Says he knew nothing about the fake names despite admitting on Thursday

Says only two players were forced to sign contracts when it was confirmed on fanatics that the seeds had to sign it

Says it was only so they had to give up their place at the o2 when the contract says not paying out as well

Says the grand slam was picked by the pdc and not him
