For a tiny moment I credited Oche with a small amount of credibility, a mistake that will never be repeated.Ginge wrote:You didn't suspect someone with a history of doing similar on here had done it again?nikkiboy wrote:Hilarious

Maybe the bdo have come to the conclusion that it is time to no longer just aim at the lakeside regulars? Maybe they now want the once despised PDC crowd?BlueSpark wrote:Asking the Lakeside regulars to traipse to London and weigh out for hotel prices there for the duration is not going to go down well.
That being said, at some point they will have to move away. Hopefully by then, their stock will have improved, maybe have a TV deal and decent sponsor(s).
The current prize payout structure is not close to being sustainable without any of that.

As an aside, I do like the 404 message: "Head over to British Darts Organisation to choose a new direction".
The PDC?

But surely part of the problem is that the "Lakeside regulars" are all they've really got?devosteve wrote:Maybe the bdo have come to the conclusion that it is time to no longer just aim at the lakeside regulars?

We've seen what happens when they take "majors" to other venues. We all remember how the WDT final got on at the box office compared to the Welsh ballet version of Cindarella which was on next door on the same night. It was just plain embarrassing.
The simple fact is, they've rested on their laurels for years now safe in the knowledge Lakeside would be a near-as-damn-it sell out, it would be on TV somewhere, and Bob would stump up the prize money.
Now that particular house of cards has started to tumble, and they've got nowhere to turn.
They had years to cultivate the next generation of "Fanatics" and didn't do a tap because they ludicrously believed the golden goose would go on shitting out eggs for ever.
As has been said countless times previously, it has to stay at Lakeside, despite that venue being world leading only in it's decrepitude, simply because the regulars have shown they won't go anywhere else.
None of this is a problem of Des' making, but he's yet to show he has the first clue how to do anything about it.
It's highly debatable the BDO would ever want the PDC crowd, but if they did it's currently a very safe bet the PDC crowd want nothing to do with the BDO, and it will take a long time to change that. An amount of time the BDO may not actually have.

Re the O2. Wayne D reckons they could sell tickets. He got 1,000 coming to a darts exbo. With the expert team that they have he says it will do well.
Maybe the wdt and the masters flopped (crowd wise) primarily because of chronic promotion?
What is clear is that the bdo b I oars have been put in contact with the O2 folk. I reckon des is edging his bets re lakeside. Keeping it there if he cannot get elsewhere. Whilst he tries he doesn't want to lose his back up plan of lakeside.

Hes an idiot, does he really think an exbo crowd is the same as a Lakeside crowd?!?!

Re: Lakeside dates and BDO 2019 calendar
Pardon me if I’m flogging a dead horse here but would Dave not be interested in showing World champs? I can’t think of another channel apart from possibly them that would want to take it on if Bt and 4 are dropping it
Re: Lakeside dates and BDO 2019 calendar
How did that European event in Blackpool go? The one that wasn't an exbo...
Re: Lakeside dates and BDO 2019 calendar
This has been discussed before. The WDT ending up on Dave was, in my opinion, a Frank Warren-inspired fluke that wont be repeated. The fact they didnt hang around to show the WDT the year after tells you all you need to know really.The stick wrote:Pardon me if I’m flogging a dead horse here but would Dave not be interested in showing World champs?
