Re: The Rise of the WDF!
Co-operation between the PDC and WDF could be the best thing for players.
A better darting calendar. WDF gold and silver events same weekend as PDC majors and pro tour events.
Bronze events same weekends as challenge and development tours.
Would be easier for the WDF player.

Rumour that the Scots and Welsh are going to pull out the counties systemGinge wrote: ↑Fri Jan 17, 2020 2:26 pmHeard a rumour that the Scots are pulling out and letting the SDA run their leagues if Des is still in charge by the end of this season. No reason why the EDO and WDO cant run the English and Welsh bit in conjunction tbh, its hardly difficult to compile fixtures every year and maintain a few averages tables.
The 3 orgs can easily come around and have a tournament streamed/TV for their best players of the year

Re: The Rise of the WDF!
The Welsh cant pull out easily, their teams are intermingled within the English teams.

the Scottish thing is a done deal I think.Ginge wrote: ↑Fri Jan 17, 2020 2:26 pmHeard a rumour that the Scots are pulling out and letting the SDA run their leagues if Des is still in charge by the end of this season.

Des said he can compete with PDC...
he has already lost to WDF and can't even beat Scottish Darts Association...
Re: The Rise of the WDF!
Maybe it will be an easy out.
He will definitely blame others or circumstances beyond his control.
But he won't like the fact that he oversaw the actual demise of the BDO and he won't like the fact that most folk will blame him.

Re: The Rise of the WDF!
I wonder if I should ask on fanatics if rumour true that the Scottish counties have pulled out of the BDO county system.. or would that cause too much trouble? I mean Ross will know.Skewball wrote: ↑Fri Jan 17, 2020 3:50 pmthe Scottish thing is a done deal I think.Ginge wrote: ↑Fri Jan 17, 2020 2:26 pmHeard a rumour that the Scots are pulling out and letting the SDA run their leagues if Des is still in charge by the end of this season.

If you do, that macdougal bloke will deny it 100% which means it will be confirmed within 24 hours. Not often you get such a combination of self importance and ill informed in one package.devosteve wrote: ↑Fri Jan 17, 2020 4:21 pmI wonder if I should ask on fanatics if rumour true that the Scottish counties have pulled out of the BDO county system.. or would that cause too much trouble?

So it’s all aboard the ferry to Holland to the Dutch hotel for at least one of these events imo

Effectively stripping the BDO of their majors. Lovely stuff.

Re: The Rise of the WDF!
Just need venues and tv announced for these new events then that is that!
Re: The Rise of the WDF!
This. It's almost as if it's a multiple who melted down before and came back..... Oh, wait.....
Re: The Rise of the WDF!
I wouldn't blame them. They don't have to pay the BDO entry level either in that case.Ginge wrote: ↑Fri Jan 17, 2020 2:26 pmHeard a rumour that the Scots are pulling out and letting the SDA run their leagues if Des is still in charge by the end of this season.

Re: The Rise of the WDF!
Have done on real fanatics. Told definitely false info re Scotland.
But folks saying Wales not paying funds/subs to the bdo at the moment.
So it seems these rumours have a mix of truth in a bit of waffle.

Reinstate the Tour cards for WDF champions/semi finalists or at the very least direct entry into the Challenge Tour. Increased ladies places for the World Championship qualifiers. Give WDF WC places to Challenge Tour leaders/ event winners not qualified for PDC version. Return to Lakeside after securing a commitment from Bob Potter to invest in the venue - including a proper TV studio/area. Use the PDC''s connections to secure terrestrial TV coverage on ITV or BBC 2. Let the BDO concentrate on county darts and organising local leagues and comps. Job's a gud in.
