6th BDO World Darts Trophy 30 Aug - 1 Sep Blackburn
Re: 6th BDO World Darts Trophy 30 Aug - 1 Sep Blackburn
At the end of the day it's the crowds that have generated media interest in the PDC which in turn attracts the sponsors.. If there was nobody watching the PDC events then TV would not be interested and sponsors would not come..
I still think long term the BDO needs crowds.. The TV will not continually broadcast anything without crowds and atmosphere.. People need to come out and start attending eventually

I have to disagree Devo - as a supporter of a lower league team, there's nothing more frustrating than big cup draws at home. All the fairweather fans come out of the woodwork and people who don't go end up sitting in the wrong seats, or standing in areas where regulars will stand. Stewards tend to be bigger jobsworths than usual.devosteve wrote: ↑Thu Aug 22, 2019 2:44 pmThe bigger the crowd the better the atmosphere though. When you support a lower league football team and they play someone from a higher league and thus you get a bumper crowd the event is more enjoyable.Paddy McGinty wrote: ↑Thu Aug 22, 2019 1:50 pmThat';s because the camera often shows the crowd holding up their silly signs......I don't want to be seeing that. You're the sort of guy who goes to a football match and watches the crowd all night.... the bigger the crowd the better the match eh?Buzz Fledderjohn wrote: ↑Thu Aug 22, 2019 1:34 pmFor someone who claims to have absolutely no interest in the crowd and what is going on away from the stage when the darts is on, you've been known to get awfully worked up about flying pints of piss on a Thursday night.Paddy McGinty wrote: ↑Thu Aug 22, 2019 1:03 pmWhen i tune in to watch the darts.....I want to watch the darts....not a crowd of people, I can see that anytime down town on a Saturday night.... Seems like you quantify a good game of darts by the amount of folk watching.....very sad, stick to the plastic side of darts if that's what turns you on.....Zapp Brannigan wrote: ↑Thu Aug 22, 2019 11:56 am
Not really the same though is it.
Snooker dont have constant shots of the crowd, its a shot of the table and they know a shot of a table has a million people in China watching, the world seniors at Scunthorpe the other year had an average of over 100,000 streams from China.
Darts with rows and rows of empty seats looks awful, look at last year and how much they tried to hide it and Duzza even brought up how bad it was.
Eurosport knows this but I imagine the top and bottom of this is they are paying nothing for 3 days of tv when they dont have anything else to show.
Ultimately, this impacts on the atmosphere in a negative manner as opposed to a positive.

The snooker in China, crowd or not, also has the top players involved the TV viewers will have heard of.
