New BDO Chairman

"TSOD" has predicted the end of the BDO every year since I can remember.

And is the prediction this year correct?

Not yet. But remains to be seen.

If I predicted who the next world champion was gonna be and got it wrong 10-15 years in a row, then got it right finally, would you expect me to do a song and dance about how good I am at predicting world champions?

You do tend to get things wrong don’t you.....

With the greatest of respect Mark this is a bullshit post. "TSOD" has nearly 7000 members, with each and every one of them( well the vast majority) with their own opinions and views. There is no collective "TSOD" view, merely individual posters articulating their opinions, and every one has the same right as you to espouse that opinion.

Which is why I put "TSOD" in inverted commas. It wasnt me that was crowing "Tsod was right again", was it?

If you predict the same thing time and time again then the odds are eventually one day you might be right.

The demise of the BDO has been predicted for years and I've never believed it.. Sure I expected it to get weaker and weaker but I always thought it would be there at top level and the World Championship held each year..

Unfortunately it looks like possibly the prediction has come true eventually.. We will see but I am sure the promoting of Des has not helped and most people could see a likely disaster waiting to happen under his reign.

Unfortunately I think we will be left with a very weakened BDO. And a very weak new WDF system.
Can't see either of them getting back to the status of the 'other' side of darts we had 5 years ago.

Does anybody think the BDO World Champs will actually be held in January at the Indigo or elsewhere ?

Have they received all Eurosport money for the deal now with the payment after the Indigo ?...

We have a Pro game and Amateur Game now and thats what both PDC and WDF want

Unless the WDF step in, it's done.
There's no money for even a paltry prize pot.
