what, an official response or a Paula rant?
I bet I know what will come first
Has that letter made it onto Fanatics yet?
It has now.
Good customer service.

I would like to get Oche's view on this, given he posted on Fanatics that this was a load of bollox.

So does that mean The BDO Worlds is cancelled?

Oh he will claim that the BDO were not chucked out completely or somethimg, so that technically it wasn't true.

He is very quiet though, perhaps he is annoyed he didn't get the exclusive!!

Why would it be?

Although it is now an unsanctioned tournament. And unregulated. With comedy trebles.

So a week or so after Paula achieves her ambition of (temporarily) being BDO no. 1 thanks to her endless schlepping round the arseholes of Europe in search of easy points, the actions of her husband render these points literally worthless.

Just another day in the Jacklin-led BDO.

Im more worried about Oche tbf. Declares it bollox on FB because the news came from Skewy and he doesnt like him, I produce the evidence, and now he has dusted off an 8 year old Twitter account to declare it accurate :)

the WDF Cups always are good organised...former Tournament Director Roy Price did a great job... Arjan de Waal are in the footsteps from Roy and persons like Richard an Nick complete the fantastic work... at the last meeting there were disussions about a Major Tourney within the WDF System

great news that the BDO is out of the WDF :DDDD:

So Des falsifying names in the draw and allocating seeds that shouldn’t have been seeded which included his wife has effectively ruined the BDO it appears.

Indeed, time to tender out the running of the World Championships to the world be it in the US, Canada, Netherlands or UK.
