Peter Wright should easily reach quarter final or even semi final with this draw. Furthermore I really hope De Zwaan can surprise against Cross if he wins his first round.
Looking to forward to see if Barney can continue his incredible World championship record lately in this extremely though quarter. Also some exciting first round matches in this quarter with decent in-form players.

They won’t ever get a tour same as the pro tour Barry wants that to be openThe Jolly Man wrote:I don’t think the ladies will get a tour at the same level as the pro tour which leads to stand alone tv events, they may however get a tour at the same level at the challenge Tour or development.

Is a ladies PDC too much, just a query.

No barriers. All about ability. One game. All welcome.

No. We are an open sport. All about ability.
So he didn't literally tweet "no tour", but the open sport, all about ability makes it pretty clear what he thinks.
Of course, if somebody wanted to throw a few million their way to do it, I'm sure he'd change his mind.
On the back of that they could end up with spots at the uk open, q-school and the 2 spots to the Worlds would remain.
I think the only way they could do anything is a ladies tour alongside the development tour
20 tournaments across 5 weekends
Top gets a tour card and worlds place
Tournament for the other place for people who played in events
Top 8 or 16 get school entry
Every one free to play challenge tour as well like development people are.

I get they wanted a women but picking the one big person who didn’t go to the qualifiers after Hearn complained at people for not entering seems odd
Could have picked Deta who has history in doing a bit of comms or even one of the younger players

Yes Deta would have been ideal.
Isn’t Trina sponsored by Finder? Perhaps she would have gone had she not been obliged to go to Italy...

Another option would have perhaps been one of the younger ladies top players that attended to give their insight into the ladies side of the game and promote the ladies game...Fallon or Casey perhaps?Zapp Brannigan wrote: ↑Mon Nov 26, 2018 10:39 pmI get they wanted a women but picking the one big person who didn’t go to the qualifiers after Hearn complained at people for not entering seems odd

With all respect to Deta, she is not a great pundit to be honest, Trina is a good choice. And anyway, her being used is nothing to do with Hearn, Just Sky. I hope she does quite a bit and not just the ladies games. And I hope one of the women win one match, that would be good fun for the Sky Hype machine!
Definitely a move to get women more involved in darts, as of course Sky are doing across all sports, and of course quite rightly!
but whats next, women posting on here? surely not! what ever next !! Lol

LISA ASHTON will make a dream come true when she makes her Alexandra Palace debut at the William Hill World Darts Championship.
Ashton qualified for darts' biggest-ever event by winning the UK & Ireland Women's Qualifier in Milton Keynes on Sunday, joining Rest of the World Women's Qualifier Anastasia Dobromyslova in the 96 player field.
The four-time Lakeside Women's Champion will face Dutchman Jan Dekker in the first round for the right to play 19th seed Mervyn King, and Ashton can't wait to grace the Ally Pally stage for the first time.
"It's a dream come true, I'm over the moon," said Ashton, who lost just five legs in seven games at the qualifier.
"I’m so chuffed to get through, there were so many top ladies playing in the qualifier and the quality was excellent.
"For me this is a massive win and it’s an amazing opportunity to play the men at Ally Pally.
"It been such an amazing day, everything has been brilliant and to come out on top at the end is everything I could have hoped for.
"We’ll (Anastasia) be flying the flag for ladies darts and hopefully we can do everyone proud."
The William Hill World Darts Championship will be broadcast through the dedicated Sky Sports Darts channel, which will also feature exclusive documentaries and classic footage alongside the Ultra HD coverage of the tournament.
A limited number of tickets remain available for sale through pdc.seetickets.com.

Some die hard Fanatics are very concerned that Hearn is using the women just for publicity, but those who have qualified seem more than happy to be given a chance regardless of the future.
Re: Re: 2019 PDC World Championship- Alexandra Palace, London-13th December 2018- 1st January 2019
The same "Fanatics" who want equal prize money for women?
Well, they have that in this event.
The same "Fanatucs" who aren't fanatical enough to attend the WDT or The Masters.
Strange.
The same "Fanatics" who demanded the PDC qualifying rules be changed after the fact to include Ashton in the GSoD are now complaining about her being in a PDC tournament?
They hate getting their way.
You'd be hard pushed to find a more moronic set of hypocrites on the internet.
