I’ll bite, the fungus lovers built up the 3 times potter cup champ no end, it was obvious that the pro PDC brigade were just waiting for the fall.

Because Thornton has been accepted as a PDC player. Durrant is still in BDO limbo.

The transition period of acceptance is unclear, but number of Lakeside titles won seems to add a big chunk of time to the acceptance period.
I think Durrant will always be considered as Bdo.

He did state he was ‘BDO for life’ which hasn’t helped.

In the unlikely event he won Ally Pally or the Matchplay, I think he would suddenly be a PDC lad overnight.

well considering Glen has publicly stated he was "bdo for life"

until he stuck up two fingers to the bdo and deserted the sinking ship and went to the pdc.
So either he still feels he is bdo for life or else he was lying.

Like I said. This is the evidence that Durrant will be always a BDO player.

Except for long recaps of the 4 days of Super Series action.
