Careful, that inference could be classed as slunder or liable or something. The Jacklins aren’t into running anything that makes a profit.... as their disastrous, crazed reign in charge of BDO clearly demonstrates.

I heard they were going to cancel all televised darts events, but not BDO ones as they don't get a crowd of 100 in.

Well there you have it. Torremolinos council suspends all sporting activities."

On real fanatics. Guy posts the letter but it's in Spanish.

Lets see if the bdo now consider this a holiday and not a sporting event.

Ha, surely they arent going to go against local government regs and hold the event.

Wonder if they have actually paid the money to the hotel yet. This could be the news that saves the BDO if they dont pay everyone back!
