Do you look forward to that for PDC events.
Twat.
He can’t even watch PDC events, he only has five channels.
Council estate TV (that is free ones) now number quite high. Must be a couple of hundred

3? I count two.
Could be a school boy error on my part. Thought it was on discovery, Eurosport and quest.

Discovery own Eurosport and Quest - it was on their online platform, Discovery Plus.

I enjoyed the older finals - didn't watch the youth ones. Beau was fantastic, and the mens' final started bloody slowly, but really picked up for the last 4 sets or so.

Why the personal attack. I have never done that.

I genuinely thought discovery plus was a TV channel. I got it wrong.

My apologies in that case. I was thinking of Dynamite Chris Bradley who has been on here again recently. Very sorry.

The wdf show and support boys, girls, ladies and men's darts.

I hope all those saying how great this event has been and how good the wdf has been compared to the PDC haven't been ripping to bits the ladies darts all week then loving it for a great final. It's all one package.

I don't think anybody said it was a great final. They just remarked on the good performance by Greaves.
Greaves won comfortably 4-0 in sets and 12-1 in legs against an opponent who underperformed.

Next year should be better as everything normalises.

Reflection on the evening's viewing, the boys final wasn't great and if that Charlie lad could have hit his doubles early on he'd have won it easily.
Ladies final, Beau was magnificent and lived up yo the hype we've heard for a few years, here is a future star of ALL darts, not just ladies.
The mens final was entertaining, not high averages but tension and nip and tuck all the way, thoroughly enjoyed it although I did want Tricole to win.

The tournament as a whole was a success, maybe commercially they could have sold more tickets or had a bigger sponsor who didn't control the high price of them but they can work on this.
My tuppence worth if the WDF are interested, reduce the field to 32 and just run it Wednesday to Sunday, or better still do it over Easter week and have the finals on the Easter Monday.
Having the boys, girls and ladies finals on before the mens in my opinion worked well.
Venue - yes I know it's the Lakeside but having been to both I'd say the circus tavern is more suited to their needs, looks fuller and (almost) as prestigious.

The WDF can be happy with this and have something to build on for next year.

Yes and no....bin the afternoons off, cut it back to 32 men (and 12 women) and run it like it was run prior to the 2016 expansion of just having sessions at weekends and evenings. It may sell better then.
Also lets not kid ourselves, the 1st Sunday afternoon session is a contender for the worst session of televised darts ever broadcast (mens L48 and womens L24 games).

As for the Easter suggestion, they have already said they are looking at having it back in January, personally I dont agree but there we are.

Also - I noted Bob and Barbara Potter were nowhere to be seen. Is he on his last legs? That may not be good news for this event if so, yes milk the Potter cow whilst he is alive but there is guarantee his heir(s) will keep the club/hotel on when he snuffs it.
