Road to BDO World Championships 2019

[Paddy McGinty]

If only we had Ana's other half on the forum who could confirm or deny if signing the Ally Pally contract precludes her from playing Lakeside.

Allowed to play in both.

Had word from PDC they have no restrictions in the contract and neither do BDO.

Well that pissed on Ginge's fireworks.......

Erm, no. Common sense has prevailed.

Do you think it's time the PDC relinquished their restrictions?......

No I think it's fair enough that the men can't play in both events in the same year tbh. Women are just a novelty so it hardly matters.

You are so spiteful........

Apparently Adam Smith-Neale has broken his leg in Italy.

[foggs3355]

I can’t see him making lakeside

[Ginge]

Anyone else want to make a medical diagnosis? This is the forum where this kind of thing happens, of course.

I think he broke his leg in three places. Needs an operation this week. There will be then a healing process, followed by physiotherapy.
Dr Chris.

Hope he gets there as seeing if he could follow up his Masters win added something to this years competition.

[Deleted User]

Has anyone started a GoFundMe page to help pay his medical bllls?

If only there was a BDO player who could help him with advice on how to get a huge stack of free money in just such a situation.

[Astonvilla]

Look on the bright side. If he is out they can give Hankey a wildcard.

meanwhile in other news eurosport are offering eurosport player for 12 months for £19.99,against £39.99 all those darts events to watch, no self promotion here of course!!

[The Crusader]

Course he will go, even if he don't win a leg still gets prize money. Didn"t Whitlock break ankle just before Ally Pally a few years back?

Would it not depend on if it is his standing leg. I am sure you could play darts in 6 weeks time if it was your non standing leg. But then again Cadby was forced out of tournaments with a broken non throwing arm.

It's only broken on Tuesdays

Apparently Lakeside have sent an email out offering up the room in the on-site hotel to anyone "for the first time". Can't imagine many of the players have agreed to pay to stay on site, then.....

[only85]

its baffled me for a while why you would stay there (i no some folk have digs included) its not exactly overly salubrious,

[markymark]

Carry On Finder...



Having had a broken ankle, I can't see anyway he'll be on stage at Lakeside AND fit to play.

[only85]

yes dr ranj !!
