Has Boris Koltsov withdrawn??

He apparently lives in Munich so it wont be travel issues if he does withdraw.

[Ginge]

And indeed he has withdrawn, reason isnt given

I stand corrected (said the man in the orthopaedic shoes) , he moved back to Moscow in October last year.

No reason required really - even if he held a Ukraine flag and wore a sign saying "No to War" there'd still be idiots ready to give him dog's abuse because of where he was born.

I don't think any players or random individuals should be getting abuse, but getting the public to turn against Putin is the only available tactic (along with sanctions) against someone who is threatening to push the nuke button.

The only hope of a positive outcome from all this is for the mad bastard to be overthrown and the only way that happens is if the Russian people turn on him en masse, which is hard to achieve when the state run the media (something a lot of Brits seem to want to aspire to, but thats a different story).

It's unfortunate for innocent Russians but necessary.

Good Lord, is that the time?

They could easily hire a local leisure centre and whack 8/16 of their own boards up. But that costs money.

Edgar suggested this. Buy a warehouse or something similar and have it as their pro tour venue. Not a bad idea at all.

Wasn’t this the plan by the PDC pre covid.

They was in talks to buy a place to just do all floor competitions from

[Little Lonely Garry]

stop any increase in prize funds for a year would generate a decent sum of money towards building their own centre.
I would not imagine the overall cost would be that much of a huge endeavour for them.

I am sure there are plenty of building up for sale post covid and could get one to suit at a decent price if they wanted to go down that route

Aye, and the Saturday.
Other than for the Hogan and Read matches I’ll be in Reds for the rest.
