Lakeside WDF World Championship 2022 - Howlers Thread

[The Thorn]

That first Lakeside weekend will be brutal tbh with none of the top 8 women or top 16 men in it, wouldnt be a disaster missing that.

Adams will be playing

And thats about it. Even he is wildly incontinent.

That's old age unfortunately

[oche balboa]

Adams is like a fine wine. Get him on that Lakeside stage and he will win 2-0 and an average of over 90

[The Ginge Reaper]

"over 90", what a benchmark to aim for.

[Mabbsy]

'Over 90'

So many possibilities.
Darts missed at doubles.
Pints sunk in 1st 3 days.
Number of paying spectators on day 1
Etc etc etc

How good (or bad) is this compared to previous years? Would it be correct to assume in comparison to the prize money and tickets sold for the O2 debacle this is not too bad?

The last Lakeside got into 5 figures, the o2 got over 5k.

If it cant even beat the o2 figures, its a disaster

138k then not so bad.

Sad seat counters are at it again?

TBF wouldn't take that long with the amount sold

Its just Ginge with his knickers in a knot yet again....Probably because no cunt will buy him a ticket despite his years of hinting.

[The Ginge Reaper]

Erm, its not me counting them

Anyway another howler...Fallon pulls out of Lakeside despite qualifying as a high seed

Personally think she has chucked 25k away but everyone to their own.

Ok, ta. Looking grim then

[The Ginge Reaper]

A new howler.....mens format cut back by 2 sets per game from the L16 onwards, womens final now being dragged out to best of 7, and the women wont play setplay in the first round at all (best of 11 legs).

Ridiculous.

[Safc]

So the final is only first to 5 now?
