World Championship Women's Qualifiers Nov 17 & 25
Re: World Championship Women's Qualifiers Nov 17 & 25
There is something on every weekend isn't there? Unless they made it midweek, which also would have got people moaning, it was always going to clash with something.

Paul has said Deta is doing the qualifier. What's this about?

The tweet I posted a bit back doesn't read that way at all.ChrisW wrote:He said she will be missing Italian weekend.Ginge wrote:Richard North seems to think she isn't, dunno why.devosteve wrote:Paul has said Deta is doing the qualifier. What's this about?
Clearly North has the wrong end of the stick.

it would be a disgrace if they are banned expect the two Qualifiers...and i do not understand any women with ambition or class or whatever, who does not give it a go...DavidOwen67 wrote:Be funny if those attending were banned and next year's ladies events were just Paula v Deta.Ginge wrote:Paul clearly doesn't want to upset his new bestest mate and so has got on his knees at home and had to plead to her not to do it

Re: World Championship Women's Qualifiers Nov 17 & 25
Just a thought - maybe because they are not good enough? Fewer than 10 players can win a place, because fewer than 10 players have won every decent ranking tournament since Lakeside.DavidOwen67 wrote:Again.
Free entry for a chance to win £7500 (or more!). Outside of winning Lakeside that has to be the biggest prize in ladies darts.
Why would anyone NOT give it a go. Especially someone with a decent chance of winning?
And out of interest, how different will the experience be of a PDC floor qualifier compared with a normal open for the vast majority who attend for a laugh or Lakeside points? I'm just not sure 2 places is enough for the average women to think it's worth it.
Not a wish, but definitely a fear!

I find this incredible. Words fail me.Ginge wrote:**cough**Bag Carrier wrote:Any women that does not give it a go would be crazy.
Are people just not grasping the fact that financially the BDO is on its knees:
-It has pissed off it’s #1 sponsor who has pulled their money out.
-It sounds like they’ve pissed off their #2 sponsor who is guaranteeing the prize money for the World Championship and may not guarantee it at all.
-An organisation led by a bully with no discernible acumen in dealing with media, TV etc. There is no TV deal in place at all for ANY tournament.
-By pissing off sponsor #2 and moving the tournament elsewhere will kill off the tournament in the eyes of fans and as such will be watched by no one.
-Constant talk about discussions with investors just sounds like bluster and nonsense you get with a lower league football club when they get taken over by bad owners.
And to sum it up, turning down a FREE ENTRY (which I find a bit disrespectful to the others who have to fork out for these qualifying tournaments) to play for £7.5k.
These guys don’t get it. And don’t deserve it.
Rant over.

He would be if that's what he actually said, but as it is a typical misrepresentation of his words, then he's alright.Ginge wrote:Paul is blaming this forum for Richard North going on Twitter and saying Deta isn't entering the event?devosteve wrote:Paul blaming the forum for Richard north post.
