[ericbristowlegend]

i fancy jabba,taylor,whitlock and some body cause a shock to the system per ususal in bolton maybe pipe?

[Adie]

Taylor, Whitlock and my outsider would be Caven

[Spud180]

Im shocked u aint a member of his fan club, get signed up...

[BAG OF NAILS]

COLIN LLOYD OR WAYNE JONES .AND WOULD LIKE TO SEE JAMIE GREEN SON OF BIG ROBBIE G WIN A ROUND OR TWO.

[A.Dev]

Will be keeping an eye out for all the forum lads, hoping they have good runs in the event.
I think the Welsh boys Webster, Bates, Burnett and Atwood are going to cause some damage and I think one of them could well go deep into the latter stages.
Also hoping Ronnie Baxter has a good event.

[JeroenvdV]

My bet would go to Whitlock..

but i also expect a lot from Anderson & Walsh/Jones

[RSM1980]

Im going to go for one of my favourite players who i have known for years Wez "Ave It" Newton. He deserves to win on TV now after putting in the hard work.

C'mon Wezza

[Welsh Wayne]

Jabba's time to break the big time methinks.

The year long top quality darts on the tour are gonna come to fruition, maybe not a winner but expect a good run from Jabba.

There is a rumour circulating on another forum that Barney may be offered a Sky wild card for Bolton, has anyone heard anything about this?

No, and I hope they don't.

Would surely make a mockery of the event?

Sky would like that no doubt , so would many viewers so it would make sense...but for the integrity of the event and the PDPA members who have travelled the country to try and qualify then it cannot happen and it should not happen

[Mr Glass]

I could definately see this happening, with Barnevelds recent personal problems being cited as a legitimate reason for the decision to offer him the wild card. (basically due to him not being able to attend the required amount of qualifiers)

I do hope not though, as the UK Open would certainly (as trotter says) lose its integrity and make a mockery of the whole qualifying system for Bolton.

Definately would cause some controversy if nikkiboys sources are correct.

My mate Alex Harrison (play pub darts with him - he's a Riley's qualifier) has drawn him in the first round. Exciting times.

[Ross]

Gonna shove a tenner Each way on Whitlock !

[spaceman70]

No way a wildcard should be given, and I'm sure it won't.

Would love to see Webby and Anderson go a long way in the UK open.

[jointer]

Jim Mckevitt. Hes due to win a leg at some point.

unfortunately Jim won't be there

Well I'm not going then. Don't care who wins it now either, makes a mockery of the whole event. Jim will win it next year I think.

[xtreme rebel]

Osborne does well in this but his form hasn't been great on the floor recently.

My current shortlist is:

Mark Webster
Simon Whitlock
Mark Walsh
Wes Newton

All four are in great form on the floor which is a similiar set up and similar format to the UK Open. All four are also well used to the TV stage as well if/when they will play on it in Bolton.

No bookmakers have prices up yet.
