Love the blurb at the bottom of the letter. "this is private info, only for you, don't share without permission etc" Got a feeling no one is taking this on.

Though I do wonder if each letter had a different 'mistake' so that the board could suss out who is leaking the info. This did this once before I recall: sent slightly different letters to folk to catch someone out?

A lot of talk saying the players should take them to court.. I don't think the players would have a case as it stands... They were contacted to say they would be playing for a greatly reduced pot and offered the chance not to play... They chose to play.. If they hadn't been contacted and were playing for the original pot and it was changed afterwards then I'm sure they would have a case..

They have been shafted big time but not illegally I would have thought.. Still the Jacklin's can still relax in their 9 bedroom house or Spanish villa as Kane Jacklin says

My understanding is that Nick Kenny openly shared those screencaps on fanatics, I doubt he gives a shit.

If, as we're told, they've got loads of money, what difference would that first round prize make?

Still, no conflict of interest, unlike Roger.

To be fair there has been a lot of talk in all sports about equalling out men's and women's prize funds. At least the BDO have come close to achieving this, just not in a spectacularly car crash manner as this. Kudos to Des for doing his part for women's equality in sport

Why on earth would they put one thing in the letter and then pay him a totally different amount? That would also mean all the other amounts below him are likely wrong as well.

because unlike self employed tax dodgers like you he actually discloses his income/earnings and pays tax on it. And the higher rate is 40%, again, you wouldnt know that because HMRC thinks you have never earned more than £12k a year............. !!!!

Why do they have to wait to announce the venue of the World Darts Trophy, surely it's at King Georges again?
