[Ginge]

That prize fund is woeful

8CAB8F7A-349E-4F5F-A5ED-87B79906B2E7.png

Box office selling the tickets. Praise be

It also adds up to £34k and not £34,750..

[Ginge]

Oh and it seems the prize funds are wrong


Head cheerleader on the case...

[trotter01]

Just saw it was a mistake.. Mistake my arse.. They've been forced to backtrack because they promised the same payout.. Paula been on the war path?.. More money down the drain.. How embarrassing

Aye you just dont pull that fund out of thin air, hes had a bollocking down the phone from the missus.

[ssjsa]

What a shambles.

Whether it was a genuine mistake or a climbdown, either way it smacks of total incompetence.

[foggs3355]

I am shocked the men’s was not cut there but this shows no sponsor this year but the event is on maybe 12 months down the line we might get slight increase 50k for mens 15k woman’s if he get a sponsor

[el_ringo]

why would he then increase it ?

He's already publicly stated

'I was voted into this position to look after the business, not to make friends, not to please individuals but to try and get this business back ‘on track’ '

So why would he be concerned by a petticoat government ?

[foggs3355]

After this got cut will the world master stay at 60k for the men’s and 10.5k for woman’s

[Ginge]

Neither mens finalist from last year on the poster. One of them no surprise though...

[Addicks Fan]

What a shambles.

I vote for cock up not climbdown, but yes, a shambles!

[Moongoose McQueeen]

The PDC is wank

[devosteve]

Hang on....we are assuming Devo isnt pulling pur chains here. Its £2k to the womens winner this year. Surely it wasnt £4k last year?

It wasn't me who made that claim. I questioned it.

Des could actually say he is making a break with the past and going after the PDC party crowd, but that would probably give the BDO county blazers coronaries.

So say you will encourage fancy dress, standing up and chanting as the players are on the oche ready to throw etc.

However to do that they would have to move from Lakeside to a new venue for the World Championship to make it clear they want a completely different PDC style atmosphere.

Remember most at the PDC events couldn’t give a toss about the darts. It’s about dressing up looking stupid, getting pissed and hopefully seen by your mates on TV. With the Eurosport deal at least they have the TV part.

Would also allow the BDO to try and sell coverage overseas. Hearn has said many times it’s the party atmosphere of the crowd which is one of the most attractive elements for overseas TV channels and their viewers, not the quality of the darts. Plus they want players with characters like Wright. The BDO have “The Count”. Come back onto our shows
