He talks about the need for change once again but then thinks they would run a 4 challenge tours on a weekend with 600/700 players not thinking the PDC could reorganise the Challenge Tour faster than the BDO could put up a website.

The only thing that could have caused this delay in announcing lakeside is arguing over sponsorship (i.e. tv)- which has a knock on to ticket prices.
A farce.
I think ticket sales will be the worse yet for Lakeside, especially mid week.
And if it's on premier sports or something then it's game over for bdo.
But
I still think ch4 to be honest, they have just bargained them down to a much lower fee.

Re: Lakeside dates and BDO 2019 calendar
Looking at BDO there are probably about 500 players who have scored two ranking points finishes but would guess at somewhere about the 250 mark when you strip all the non eu players.Zeyes wrote:According to Servasport:

You can watch MVG v Wright in most tournaments and I'd rather see Adams v Wright and Durrant v MVG than the BDO's two biggest names playing past their best Dutchmen.

Re: Lakeside dates and BDO 2019 calendar
Yes Nick, I cannot understand for the life of me that in a exbo billed as "Netherlands vs Uk" they are not having Adams and Wright play each other.
Perplexing. Baffling, even

Scotty dog confirming today hes not been told a thing about the worlds or where it will be.
Re: Lakeside dates and BDO 2019 calendar
Every day that passes it's looking less and less likely that it will be at Lakeside, starting to look like what will be put on will be more like the WDT than the World Pro.Zapp Brannigan wrote:Scotty dog confirming today hes not been told a thing about the worlds or where it will be.
I wonder if they have considered the Circus Tavern? would be less humiliating than Preston.

Re: Lakeside dates and BDO 2019 calendar
Official word from Lakeside
"Still dont know anything, not kept informed"
"BDO have a meeting planned this weekend, then announcement next week" (This has been their go to response to anyone for the last 4 weeks now)
Aware the BDO have changed the website, was only told this morning and they are "baffled by it"
"BDO have been, lets say, slow, with us this year"
