Will not happen. As it shouldn't have done for the last 3 years.
The only caveat is of course if the BDO manage to get a proper headline sponsor willing to pay for everything.

This isnt going to happen, But it might be played due to the Eurosport contract

There needs to be a wake up call here.
The auditors have basically said the BDO is insolvent.
No one,not a production company etc are going to do anything without being paid up front.
It really is all over Oche unless they are white knighted .

I think whatever the outcome of that meeting people need to know.

Re: 2020 BDO WDT
Looking forward to this.
Re: 2020 BDO WDT
Of course it will be on telly, and on Eurosport, Uncle Des said he was talking to Eurosport about putting on 2 more events a year, why would he do that if the cost of broadcasting them was crippling the company?

The secret ‘sponsors ‘ are covering the cost.

Re: 2020 BDO WDT
well I asked a genuine question to KGH Blackburn. I have been and intend to go again to this comp (if I 'win' tickets for a fourth time that is) so enquired after getting a facebook post rom them advertising up and coming events.
This was the reply I got today:
"Hi Steve, BDO aren't currently booked in to return but we announce all new shows and events on our Facebook page if you are following us. Thanks."

Re: 2020 BDO WDT
These are facts aren't they. Not booked in! So they only booked one year in for the KGH.
Did he say 3yr TV deal though or 3 years at Blackburn?
Whatever it doesn't look like they are going back. Anyone could book the scheduled dates.

Re: 2020 BDO WDT
Quite sure he said they had secured the venue for three years, in which case it would be booked in already.
I mean, it may end up being booked in, but it does make the initial pronouncement look a load of rubbish.
