Wise words from the BDO's Karl Dönitz.
Re: Des Jacklin statement
My eyes.
1) Ladies prize money being "addressed"- no conflict of interest there, no sirree.
2) "Runaway success"- gave away a boatload of free tickets, still couldn't get near filling the place.
3) "The biggest decision was made by me" - dear lord.
4) "Social media going into overdrive on day 1" - Paula made a lovely sign
5) Des is short for Desmond. Not bloody Derek.

He must have some massive news up his sleeve here. My guess is O'Shea and Mitchell know about it and that is why they are staying.

2) The place was filled for majority of the day (Apart from the 2 days we was there)
3) He has an ego but if he improves the BDO then fair play, I'm no fan of his remember
4) Social Media improved for the BDO. its a good start, more work needs to be done
5) Drupid sums you up

Re: Des Jacklin statement
Your second point is ridiculous. On the Monday and the Thursday there were rows and rows of empty seats and the same was true on the first Sunday. You are choosing not to see it.oche balboa wrote:1) it does need addressing whether theirs interest there or notDavidOwen67 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 15, 2019 8:38 pm My eyes.

What's the seating layout and capacity at the indigo?
Re: Des Jacklin statement
2,350 in its usual theatre style configuration, obviously it won't be that for a darts event. Or it shouldn't be theatre style, anyway.BlueSpark wrote:What's the seating layout and capacity at the indigo?

Re: Des Jacklin statement
They could have played the WDT final in a hospital theatre and there would have been room for more spectators than turned up.
I can only see the crowd numbers falling big time once they move it from Lakeside.
Maybe the "venue announcements" in Feb will clear that up.

Might be a bit of a setback this week when his 6 best players leave.
Re: Des Jacklin statement
Women's prize money does not need addressing. It's based on supply and demand.
There is little demand from the general viewing public, and the low entry numbers even in the bigger BDO comps (which drive the general prize money levels) are pitiful compared to the mens. In fact I've heard that men's comps often subsidise women's prize money at the same events.

Now he's claiming it was all him. Odd.
