Hang on a minute, you've seen some of the shite Yanks and washed-up legends the PDC had to rope in just to fill out a 32 man event during that time period.Garry Murphy wrote: ↑Tue Jul 27, 2021 12:16 amwaddle147 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 27, 2021 12:10 am
The upside of an attractive, marketable women eventually becoming good enough to compete is a massive money-spinner. For a parallel, think of a darts player from China becoming world-class and having a similar impact to Ding Junhui in snooker, and then subsequently being able to hold several lucrative tournaments in China every year. The prospect of that justifies a thousand tame first round defeats from players who are woefully out of their depth.
All true, however have you seen the state of most munters, and their appalling averages ?
To go back to the question I asked, if these 4 of 5 decent women did exist, what do you do with them ?
No one cared about them under the bdo banner, doubt anyone will care under the ukda, mad or wdf ones either.
As for Trina, give over
With that dearth of quality, I'd be surprised if Trina's high 70s to mid 90s average wouldn't have made her one of the top hundred players in the world at that time, verging on top fifty.
On the other hand, no one sensible would possibly think of either Ashton or Sherrock as being a top 100 player now. Even though she has a Tour Card, there are probably fifty players who don't have one that I'd favour to beat Ashton in a match.
