Post by ChrisW »

Being broadcast on ITV and ITV4 this weekend with the snooker.
An idea for darts?

It would be less of a novelty in darts than snooker to have women playing on TV.

However if the ratings for this weekend are good, perhaps ITV might be interested in a darts version as well. Or maybe the BBC would be interested in a new tournament to replace the much missed Champions League.

Would be a decent idea for darts but there needs to be 8 women who are capable. the Jury is out on that

Yes, it's the 4 ladies who have Tour Cards playing this weekend.

Fallon, Beau, Lisa and Mikuru would be ideal in a darts version.

Ok sorted then. I will forward this thread to Mr Porter. They always use ideas from here. Commentators too.

A logical first step would be to put an England Ladies side in the World Cup of Darts, maybe.

The pool version has "B" sides in it so not as if its a new thing.

Hearn has said he wants the World Cup to be expanded, and that would give them the opportunity to Shoehorn Fallon Sherrock In.

But, the current top 2 in the PDC are Ashton and Sherrock. That'd be something of a frosty pairing.
