Fallon Sherrock
Re: Fallon Sherrock
Theres definitely some irony in the way that a female player is now the biggest marketing gimmick that sky and the pdc have got, given how derogatory the fanboys have spoken about the womens game over the years.
Like football fans (most of whom make up pdc crowds, lets face it), its very fickle stuff.

Skewy is offended. His dream is to imprison all people that slag off the PDC

Re: Fallon Sherrock
I dunno most seem to be pretty annoyed that it is happening. Not that fickle.

Re: Fallon Sherrock
The only problem I've got with the Rise Of Fallon is that my missus (who can be a bit of a feminist when she wants to be) is now taking an interest in the darts as a result.
Which means I have to talk to her about it, and I could well do without that if I'm being honest.

Re: Fallon Sherrock
There’s a narrative out there that the Sherrock phenomena just sort of dropped into the lap of the PDC and they ran with it. This ignores the fact that they planted seed of this by opening up the World Championship to women. Some might call it reaping what you sow (in a positive way).
Re: Fallon Sherrock
Deta Hedman was a pointless answer on last night's show. Ladies darts is on the rise.
Re: Fallon Sherrock
Lead story on the BBC 1 sports news this morning.
apparently massive interest around the world.
Bdo could have had a bit of this!

That was 11.5k and TV exposure for Ashton and Suzuki from the PDC in the 2018-2019 season.

Re: Fallon Sherrock
They could have allowed a lady in the BDO “men’s” (or whatever they have to call it) championship therefore if/when the PDC did it there would be less of an impact as it would have been done before.oche balboa wrote: ↑Thu Feb 13, 2020 10:04 pm

Tricky granted, because of the ladies champs. Maybe allow the lady to play both? In tennis players often compete in singles and doubles. Tricky with scheduling but not impossible.
Missed the boat now.
