BDO not paying its bills?

[PVDarts501]

I have just been told Des Jacklin has received four more summons to go to court as he/BDO owes people money.

Oh dear. Any idea who from?

Not sure. But probably similar companies. Probably Sportotal niet paid as well yet.

That would be a shame they have done so much

Unfortunately a ridiculous contract once signed (or verbally agreed) may well be enforced in law...

Be fair lads... after a couple of days of half empty sessions and a story breaking re a large amount of money oustanding I am sure this 'death threat' is entirely genuine and not at all linked with the above.

[Baron Von Marlon]

What a sorry state of affairs.

I would be surprised if they bother. Been on a freebie for a year or two. Probably take what they got and cut their losses.
They won't get anything via the courts. There is bugger all left.

Oh I dunno, 6 figures of ticket revenue this week to go at....

They was ready to take them to court last year for multiple breaches of contract they are sure as hell going to take them to court for unpaid debts.

And if they do it soon they can force the courts to pay their debts over the prize fund

Two unsecured debts are likely just to get pennys in the pound, no?

There is money in the bank, unless des has completely lost what was left and there is the prize fund

Or des can just not contest any winding up notice and just let the bdo burn saying he tried and it was too far gone

What a total and complete fuxking mess.

Paul Booth has apparently claimed on his FB that "someone from the BDO" has recieved death threats to them and family members. Probably doesnt take a genius to work out who they have been directed at, if true.

"Death threats" is something scammers claim when they've been rumbled or exposed on social media.

It's almost always a lie that it's happened. And even on the rare occasion that some keyboard warrior sends an actual threat of violence/death it's just that, a meaningless act of a keyboard warrior.

Total bull and deflection from whomever made the claim.

Have they posted screenshots of the threats?
Have they named those responsible?
Have they contacted the police?

I bet the answer to all those questions is no because the "threats" are completely made up.

Yes, it's completely unbelievable that online trolls would take things too far. I mean it is not like the trolls on here have not made fun of the players' partners, kids, etc.

Oh dear, Rout.

Apart from DBG have you ever seen a "Death threat" on here.

More importantly, have you ever seen a real one.

Name calling is not a death threat.
Now stop crying and sod off.

People have suffered all manner of personal abuse on here and social media.

All because some people don't agree with their opinions on darts. Or because they don't have Rod Harrington commentating on their darts matches.

[Ginge]

Spock!

There is a big difference between threatening and doing it.
Only the lawyers make money out of these kind of cases.
Usually everyone else is losing out.

I recieved a death threat on here a few years back, think it was some Scottish nutter, kept saying he was 30 mins away, I told him I was waiting

[Wazza180]

As for the thread, with the PDC the motive is all about money. They have achieved all they can in the UK and saturation point was reached a long time ago. That is why they are going to new markets.

The BDO is different. It's a non-profit organisation. The problem is that they have made some poor business decisions and are now in trouble. We all know this. We don't need 4 threads about it.

I may start a 5th in a bit.

This is the behaviour that the PDC vs BDO feud has instigated.

Make sure you save time to ring up the PL venues. See how tickets are selling.
