PDC Grand Slamof Darts - PDC Champions yet agan......

[Cooking with Sanchez]

Think Green and Kist might get through.

[Justin Credible]

kist has a chance, green simply not good or consistent enough

[Mr. Myers]

MVG in a very tough group, don't expect him to get out of it tbh

[ITG]

With the short format the only ones I still don't see having a chance of getting through are Dekker and George. Even the weans might have a chance against Chisnall in a race to 5.

The Grand Slam is one of my favourite tourneys.

The group stages, and BDO talent give the Grand Slam it's own identity.

We have been spoiled rotten the past 2 weekends. The ITV crew do a decent job. Not looking forward to Mardle being back on my screen.

[Justin Credible]

GSoD is a decent comp one of the best ones, but most certainly nor the best, as that is the world Champs at Ally Pally, the pinnacle of darts.

As for the GSoD its always a great week, however over the years we got some god awful matches as well, we had some atrocious bdo jobbers in the past, and have a couple this year as well.
The pdc has a few as well thanks to the world cup, how can anyone truly forget the abysmal stuff of barrie bates

[M H]

Poor matches is down to who actually qualified rather than the format itself, BDO players excepted!

Joking apart I like the short format group stage even though it does throw up a few dead rubbers at the death

As for the GSoD its always a great week, however over the years we got some god awful matches as well, we had some atrocious pdc jobbers in the past, and have a couple this year as well.
The bdo has a few as well thanks to it's world appeal , how can anyone truly forget the abysmal stuff of king the other night

you know what, your not the worst of them
