The second being neither number 1 or the current women’s champion not playing day one

God rest Alf Garnett and Prince Phil.
I used to love cycling but unfortunately I know a man who doesn’t like cyclists.

The first two days are always going to look ropey as they have the "prelim" (now called Round 1) games to get through

I haven't really commented before but the decision to take this away from the Lakeside was unfathomable stupidy. It was the one thing it had going for it. Apart from the money Potter put up, it had a claim on being the historic and spiritual home of world championship darts. It had a loyal fanbase who would buy tickets and attend sessions regardless of the lineup. But most importantly - that was the brand. It may be a dump but it does have that history and to me, from a marketing petspective, this is akin to Coke changing its recipe and Gerald Ratner admitting he sold crap jewellery. I know it's been said before but this is the death rattle of the BDO as a platform for top level darts. An empty, souless 02, broadcasting a terrible lineup on Eurosport. It's the end of days folks.

Coke changing its recipe, which of course, led to increased sales of Coke Classic when they brought it back.
Unfathomable stupidity indeed.

Re: BDO Worlds Tickets 2020 "Explosion" and Extortion Watch
Ah right. Sorry - I didn't realise the master plan was to take this away from Lakeside before returning in glory with even greater success. I must have missed the memo.

Apology accepted.

Monday evening looks the best session so far
Re: BDO Worlds Tickets 2020 "Explosion" and Extortion Watch
That's very gracious of you my friend, if only I had realised the plan was a major marketing fail, followed by a complete reversal in policy in the hope loyal customers would stampede back to Lakeside next year. Perhaps Coke would be interested in a sponsorship since that is the model being copied?
