[Dannyboy]

Can this tournament not justify a bigger venue like those you see on the European Tour in Germany and such like?

[ChrisW]

It's a decent size to be honest. Was there last time. Planning to go again next month.

[Tristan]

It holds 5000 people.

[ChrisW]

I see PDC Europe are offering Hotel ticket combi deals now. Not sure if this is a new thing.

2 nights in Golden Tulip or Best Western. 3 day tournament ticket. 189 or 179,- Euros.

UK Qualifiers added.

[DartsjournalistCOM]

Will be a fantastic tournament again. Very happy with the qualifiers. Hopefully Vincent van der Voort & Raymond van Barneveld qualifies as well next week.

[Target_Pro Stone]

Will this be streamed for us here in the UK to watch?

[foggs3355]

probley same as last year thru bookmakers websites i would be good if pdc could streem some of these thru there youtbe page for free even if just 2 or 3

Didn't Barney said on Dutch television he was at holiday and he will miss the Dutch Masters?

[TheSportsDean]

Ritchie Edhouse plays at the same pub as my father-in-law. Qualified today. Will have to keep an eye on him this year on the Challenge Tour, UK Open and ET events.

I have it on good authority it's 1-1 in competitive matches between my father-in-law and Edhouse.

Will PDC.TV have these tourneys. I thought they did last year. £30 a year.

[in the gravy]

They did stream them, but the quality of the picture was horrendous. When the service first started it was excellent as well, no idea what happened.

There were issues with pdc.live streams for the first few ET events last year, but in the latter events their coverage was first class.

He also said he would not play for two months... And guess what? He has been invited for the Premier League. It's confirmed he is playing in the weekend.

There was a problem throughout where you couldn't stream the events in "high quality" and only on a choppy medium quality. I e-mailed them about this and they said it was outwith their control, something to do with the darts in motion group who were responsible for the filming. I think

[DartsjournalistCOM]

That's true.

I really hope his walk on tune is Love Grows(where my Rosemary goes), because as i was scrolling through the q school lists, and your eyes see what look like two linking things, I could have sworn I saw Edison Lighthouse
