Mandigers has a fair point though.. You shouldn't have to be a PDC player to expect venues, dates, TV stations and prize money and cut off dates to be set in stone.. to be fair though Des does seem to be trying to put all this in place.. Its just happening very slowly

Jamie Hughes had no choice but to focus on the challenge Tour, Otherwise he would have played in the BDOphil davies wrote: ↑Mon Apr 08, 2019 5:31 pmExactly so if you fail then you can both pdc and BDO events like Waites will be doing this year after his pathetic attempt to win a card.

BDO International Open and Youth Festival has been cancelled and in 2020 will be in the Magna Centre Rotherham.
Re: Metro "Spanner in the works" Jacklin on BDO announcements
Any reason given?
At least it is on next year (or planned to be on anyway ).
Not the start of things unravelling?

Still TBC in the calendar.
Re: Metro "Spanner in the works" Jacklin on BDO announcements
Just read on fanatics. So reason to cancel is because they didn't want an unsuitable venue (present one being demolished?). Sure there are tons of suitable venues out there.
Is des losing heart?

Announcement is on the BDO website.
However to find it you have to scroll past the massive advert for the North Cyprus Open.
Seems it's all about priorities.

I see they have added a new Cat A event to the Welsh Open weekend.

Re: Metro "Spanner in the works" Jacklin on BDO announcements
Seems like Paul James is Des's gloss over man ...no mention of Des's CV and how much he loved the Youth Game but yet they suffer first. After all the 'spineless' insult and everything else ..I wouldn't be a lacky for someone
Re: Metro "Spanner in the works" Jacklin on BDO announcements
Not sure but maybe Paul knows this is the last chance saloon for the bdo? If des fails (and if another won the vote the same would apply ) then so does the bdo?Double Flops wrote: ↑Thu Apr 11, 2019 11:13 pm Seems like Paul James is Des's gloss over man ...no mention of Des's CV and how much he loved the Youth Game but yet they suffer first.

He said something about being good it was cancelled as the BDO hadn't lost money, which was good as they are skint.
