The now Unofficial and Unsanctioned BDO "Worlds" Tickets 2020 Updates
Re: The now Unofficial and Unsanctioned BDO "Worlds" Tickets 2020 Updates
Do we know how this money is being doled out? Does Tony just send them 16 equal payments, payments based on how far they get, or just hand it to Des and let him sort it out?

If the press get hold of this then maybe the bdo will be shamed into increasing some of those figures.
A bit embarrassing really.

If the ladies championship was run as a separate event then the prize money would be pennies. Outside of the ladies and their families there would be no tickets sold for the event, paying customers are not interested. As it stands they piggyback the men’s event and should be lucky the prize fund is as high as it is.

I used to love cycling but unfortunately I know a man who doesn’t like cyclists.

Financing the women over the last few years has drained the BDO of cash. I hope the men realise this.

You'd like to think so, but Tony O'Shea and Jim Williams aren't the brightest of minds.Tommy T-Rex wrote: ↑Thu Jan 02, 2020 6:03 pm Financing the women over the last few years has drained the BDO of cash. I hope the men realise this.
Re: The now Unofficial and Unsanctioned BDO "Worlds" Tickets 2020 Updates
I wonder if Tony h has done this to get media attention in the hope of someone stepping in with sponsorship?
If it raises money then that will be good for the ladies themselves but not great for the bdo or ladies darts.

Re: The now Unofficial and Unsanctioned BDO
There will be a count tomorrow evening. The first Saturday has sold a few on one of the tables on the left which had previously not been available, so I think this will be the best attended day, barring a last minute surge once the event starts.Ginge wrote: ↑Thu Jan 02, 2020 4:25 pmHopefully there will be a final count tomorrow for the comp but even that wont be accurate as we now know there have been giveaways, also wont account for tables blocked off for sale on other sites.foggs3355 wrote:So in the last week of sales have they actually sold Even 50 more tickes

£295 in the begging bowl now! Simon "Stubby" Carruthers shelled out £100 of his hard-earned.

I did put in the post I hope it did create the possibility of a sponsor stepping in.
I think we all know BDO enterprises will be done after this WC, But I am just trying to give the ladies a bit more than a weeks wage for something they have paid and travelled for since october 2018.

The BDO have not been able to add any money to the prize fund for the ladies or Sportotal.
So what should we do.
If I walk into work on Monday and my boss tells me he can't afford to pay me the amount we agreed, I'm not about to phone my missus and get her to set up a crowdfunding page.
I appreciate the sentiment, but IMO your energy would be better spent trying to hold those responsible to account for their lies and ineptitude.
Spot on.

I'm sure the ladies applaud your efforts, Spud. However this shouldn't be down to you and the public.Bag Carrier wrote: ↑Thu Jan 02, 2020 6:34 pmI did put in the post I hope it did create the possibility of a sponsor stepping in.

Sadly our horse-braiding friend is a colossal incompetent who makes stupid decisions on the fly and has virtually bankrupted the BDO through his stupidity and refuses to admit ANY culpability for his abject failure.
I hope you get a few quid for the girls but this is supply and demand sending out a huge message.
You could always "do a Parletti" and keep it, I suppose.
