The rumors going round the PDC and WDF are in talks, the rumors that PDC are funding WDF stuff.

I can see a partnership announced on finals night when Barry is there to announce the premier league. WDF recognizes the PDC worlds as the official world championship, WDF and PDC partner a WDF Amateur world championship and a future restructuring where the Challenge tour and WDF tour come together.

Who said this?

Why do I have the feeling that the #bdo worlds will be very poor (players aside) and everyone else will be blamed apart from Des Jacklin & his board?

Nope, dont go there for darts for obvious reasons .

Back playing league darts though for the first time in 9 years. Been a few times to the Mulligans weekly tournament, theres some good talent there.

And if this happens, darts goes from strength to strength in terms of playing depth globally.

One thing I have noticed over the last week or so, is how active Barry Hearn is at replying on Twitter to questions about ladies darts in the PDC and the PDC in general.

He knows Social media is a good platform to use if used correctly.

Dont see him on Facebook, But very active on twitter which I think is much better than Facebook to actively participate in chat and get points across.

Social media is crucial to anything when used correctly.. something the BDO have never grasped

Social media is vital to all companies. BDO are still miles behind

But we are all "Trolls" & "Keyboard warriors"

But yes, seems John Gwynne has confirned it.
He part of team then you will need at lest 4 people for comp box for a 9 day event
Nicholson, Laura Turner and Adams are all possibilities to join/substitute for Gwynne in the comms box.

The more Laura Turner, the better.
Why?
Laura is a fabulous addition to the team. She knows her stuff and has a great voice and tone.
Does she? What are her credentials? Being a woman and married to the first guy to lose a match to a woman in a TV tournament?

All I've seen from her is cliche-ridden nonsense, but each to their own. I don't suppose it makes her any worse than most of the others.

Don't be downhearted, I'm sure you'll find some positivity when you're next tested for HIV :DDDD:

What is there to be positive about in the BDO? It's a shambles.

"Sure, that Pol Pot was a bit of a tyrant, but what about the 75% of the Cambodian population who he DIDN'T kill? Nobody ever talks about those, they just focus on the negatives".
