Bobby has a chance next year if he gets through q school.
Bobby couldn't make it down the length of the corridor at Robin Park.

According to the sales numbers posted by addicks fan, they've sold 100 tickets or so less for the final than for today. I suspect the counties and players will be flooded with giveaways as no way do they want the place to look this empty.

Forget the revenue for a minute, any casuals will more likely tune in for the final than any other match and it has to look full whether people paid for a ticket or not.

They just can't get enough BDO darts, can they?

They should consider moving it to a smaller side room.

Some absolutely cracking meltdowns from the usual suspects.

Hogan got a chance to make the quarters or even the semis here, always a steady set player.

Can’t see Smith neale or the two Dutch lads troubling him and then Williams over 9 sets in the quarters for a place in the semis.

The bottom half of this draw is a mess

Sadly predictable. Moving from Lakeside was a monumental error based in total stupidity and bombastic arrogance. 'We'll show the PDC'! Aye - and bankrupt the BDO in the process, idiots.

The WDT at Event City had about 20 people watching the final.. They will have to give freebies because it would be the final embarrassment of embarrassments to stage the final in front of a virtually empty venue.

Mind you somebody said on Fanatics that the Jacklin's were out of their depth and Paula replied PMSL so they themselves cannot see their own faults

Can't blame them. The BDO is the real McCoy, the other is just an outlaw mud show.

At Lakeside it was all about vanity and appearances because Potter covered the prize money and the BDO couldn't really lose. They can pretend all they like about how many people have bought the tickets but you cant lie to the till. This is the end and it's all self inflicted.

The PDC should move the Grand Prix to the local civic hall. They can't even fill an events room in a hotel.
