The hype over fallon will subside. But I do wonder if there will be more interest in the ladies game than the men's at the 02?

Not official at all, but it wouldn't look good if the prize money was less than what the chairman said it was. People wouldn't be able to trust him again :)

No, because its women playing women. There is no novelty.

What's it say? Just a black square on my phone.

And I am surprised green tweet didn't cause more discussion.

Wouldn't like to be threatened by this man :) If they don't sell enough tickets, he always has this to fall back on:

anyone heard this rumour?
Just like Des had "sponsors" sorted when he ran for the top job.

Remind me who they were again.

Foxtrot Tango, rubbish. The NDB first noticed dropping BDO-points and as a reaction the propasal was retracted.

One of the other fake facts he's is bringing on.

Loving the anger, there.

You should post more of this. But in English. :D

I'd say Sherrock might get booed by the Fanatics for saying getting back to Ally Pally next year was most important, but then remembered they don't buy tickets.

:grin:

Although in their defence, they probably can't afford it. Benefits only go so far after the Lambrini, Park Road and scratchcards have been paid for.

Steve also claiming that the ladies wouldn't be able to afford the PDC tour. I'm sure he's been told the truth plenty of times but chooses to believe the fake costs.

The guy is a genuine moron. A tour card means free entry to Pro Tour events which are in the UK.
The travel club have to fly all over Europe to play for points plus a pittance in prize money. Anyone who thinks the BDO is cheaper is in need of psychiatric help.

PDC tour card holders have to travel outside of the UK to compete in the European Tour. They also have to travel more often because the PDC run more events.

That's not doable for the women, who are unlikely to make enough prize money to cover their costs. They won't suffer those losses playing the BDO tour.
