This will be an unmitigated disaster. Not sure even Lakeside would save it.

The dates are not a problem, just everything else! I reckon it was going to be at Preston Guild Hall until that went tits up. Lakeside is my guess at this short notice

Either he knows Oche is wide of the mark, or he is just laughing at the whole situation.

Don't think mason would laugh at the whole situation with him now doing TV work with the BDO.
He obviously knows Oche is way off the point here. If the venue etc is sorted for the WDT then mason probably knows what's happening. But if stuff is sorted what's with the delay?
I wonder if the 'we saved the event at the last minute' card will be played? Thus if the news isn't great (venue, prize fund, sponsors etc) everyone will be happy because at least its on!

You're probably right, and if the news regarding venue, sponsorship etc isn't great then the "it wasn't going to be on at all, think yourselves lucky you've got this much" card is the obvious one to play.devosteve wrote: ↑Tue Jun 04, 2019 8:50 am Don't think mason would laugh at the whole situation with him now doing TV work with the BDO.

The problem is, this card has been played before. Multiple times. And this time it will be somewhat at odds with the promises that were made during the election campaign for the BDO leadership.
If it does indeed turn out that "everyone is happy because at least it's on" then they are getting precisely what they deserve.

I can’t see them selling many tickets it will be like last year 50 to 90 people I be shocked if they over 150 in any session unless they free ones
Re: 6th BDO World Darts Trophy 30 Aug - 1 Sep
Paula said on fanatics months ago that all dates were set in stone.. Her words.. Because of the Eurosport deal.. So delays can only be venue or sponsorship issues really....

Preston Guild Hall will go into administration, it has been confirmed.
Owner Simon Rigby has announced that his company, Preston Guild Hall Ltd, has applied to the High Court in Manchester to be placed into administration today (June 5).
This come days after the Guild Hall closed its doors - a move that was said to be 'temporary'.
Mr Rigby said: "PGHL has had to be placed in Administration and Licensed Insolvency Practitioner Bev Budsworth of The Business Debt Advisor will be appointed as Administrator with the aim to maximise the return to the company’s secured and unsecured creditors.
“For individuals who have purchased tickets in advance, we will be ensuring that they receive a refund if the show is not available via the new operator”.
“The administration strategy will be to agree terms with a chosen operator who will take over the running of Preston Guild Hall.”
Rigby was in negotiations with VMS Live to take over the running of the building but they were delayed by the death of the owner of the company.
The venue had 20 full time who have since all been laid off.

Well if it was going to be there, at least Des can blame someone else again now.

Can't really see what all the fuss is about
Hasn't Des been in Paris these past few days finishing talks with all those major sponsors who just so happened to be at the Roland Garros as well as conducting preliminary discussions with them in Northern Cyprus earlier?
