Correct. Tbh I can't see y the other players didn't walk as well. If they knew there was no money in the bank to pay prize money

Re: BDO not paying its bills?
Yes he is. Regardless of the letter sent by Des advising of the prize money no longer being as per the signed contract, said letter has no standing unless new contract was signed. The BDO are in breach of contract, however with no pot to piss in, suing them would be a total waste of time.Ginge wrote: ↑Sun Jan 12, 2020 6:20 pmThey had amounts in them, he is talking cobblers in that regard.Murphio wrote:Short answer - they can't (providing the contracts are in Des's favour as you state).Dannyboy wrote: ↑Sun Jan 12, 2020 6:14 pm They're not going to get paid are they?
Just to throw something out there - if the company is put into administration / liquidated, what legs do the players have to stand on? Their contracts (to my knowledge) do not have £ amounts entered... so how can any player claim in an insolvency court that monies are owed to them?

Not if you sue them first & get a charge on the assets, you'll get your money even if you have to send in the sheriffs!ssjsa wrote: ↑Sun Jan 12, 2020 7:39 pmYes he is.

Whether a darts organisation calls their world championship a professional championship is also irrelevant really. Even if I rather they didn't.
Hypothetically I want a darts organisation to have half a dozen comps on a year with a combination of players in it. A good mix of tournies with their own identity, but with large but respectful audiences. A governing body who puts ethics and sport above money and a non profit one at that. And one who is no ashamed of the roots of the game.
I can't be clearer than that.

It is an alternative to the PDC both for the players and viewers. Some players enjoy the BDO lifestyle. Some ladies need a proper ladies tour. Some semi-pros do not want to spend their free time playing darts and see darts as more of a hobby. Some viewers want something different to MVG vs Wright.
Need I remind you all that the final Lakeside on BBC drew better viewing figures than the PDC tournament that replaced it. There is an audience for the BDO. It's just needs the right people at the helm and the procedure to be followed through with properly.
I am not saying that the BDO can compete with the PDC. Hearn has won the battle for the professional side of the game and will make money for years to come. But there is a place for the BDO, even in these times where darts in on the decline.
I mean, who wouldn't?

Re: BDO not paying its bills?
We have now reached peak mushroom. The idea that money in the amateur game is a bad thing. I'm sure Wayne Warren will be happy to have won the event, but you'd have to have rocks in your head not to think he'll be disappointed that a comp that was worth 100 grand 12 months ago will net him 23 grand if he's lucky.

Durrant probably cant believe his luck. Raped the event for 3 x £100k before the sh1t hit the fan and he bailed.Thehateful180 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 13, 2020 8:27 am We have now reached peak Fun Guy.

Re: BDO not paying its bills?
If the BDO folds it will change the face of the game overnight. Millions play under the bdo banner currently. They are playing under the titanic pyramid system that is the lakeside world professional darts championship. That championship is directly tied to the bdo. You take it away and things to start to unravel a bit.

What a muppet. You are either trolling or clueless how Darts actually runs at grass roots level in this country.Wazza180 wrote:If the BDO folds it will change the face of the game overnight.

Re: BDO not paying its bills?
Could Des not offer to pay off the debts with "prestige"? From what I have been reading on here this morning, that's more valuable than money.

Your opinion about millions playing under the 'BDO banner' is just plain wrong... 'sorry''
