You can't do badly when you are being paid for doing nothing.

They picked up 1 sponsor at least in the course of the O2

The cards the crowd held up went from being being blank bits of paper to something Media headed ones around Weds or Thursday

For those who have not seen it

325 comments. They should re-open the 606 pages.

Those were the days!

fek me, I’ve just read that letter. If anyone believes any of those promises or that ‘The BDO are in a strong position going forward’, then they are a fool.

Just how stupid does Des think everyone is?

He thinks they are all stupid because they are, the have believed his shite from the start. There are people in powerful positions in the BDO/EDO/Counties etc that still believe the bullshit. Deserve what they get.

‘We heard the prize fund would be halved, everybody thought it was still a lot of money, £50,00 for the winner, it’s still a lot for the BDO.

Must be the first top player to have pointed out the ridiculousness of that shared Facebook account.

"We have a clothing manufacturer, a company who have approached me and asked if they can sponsor the BDO. This isn’t just a one event issue; they want to sponsor the BDO. I don’t believe the BDO have ever had that"

A clothing manufacturer who produces copyright infringing shirts?

[Sally]

Rout will be along shortly to give us estimated viewership from people in Asian nations watching on illegal streams. Early indications suggest obscene figures that may even cause flipping, so be warned.

Between 0.1% and 0.3% of the nation watching, there.

[Black Velvet]

Excellent stuff.
