Didn't take long! More to follow. Headline could be wrong as Bromberg and Wright apparently had cards.
But they never went through the white hot nightmare of a Wigan January against the men --

Re: Darts articles in the Media thread
Yes they added the Q-School part. The whole piece was only one sentence long when I last saw it. Nice reference to the Challenge and Development Tours at the bottom...The Thorn wrote: ↑Sun Jan 19, 2020 11:37 pmThey added that part later I thinkILAD wrote: ↑Sun Jan 19, 2020 11:34 pmThe headline is correctRogg wrote: ↑Sun Jan 19, 2020 6:21 pm Didn't take long!

From North America, a summary of events . Plenty of BDO doom talk if that's your thing and let's face it...

"I certainly got out at the right time. Everything was hunky dory when I was there. [ ]
"I've never said a bad word about the BDO and I don't think I ever will. They helped me create my dreams.
"It's sad to see what's happening. There are giant strides going on with the WDF (World Darts Federation), I think they're in talks with the PDC so maybe for the first time there could be something going on where we come under the one banner or working alongside each other.
"After being in the PDC for 12 months, it's chalk and cheese, the Premier League and the Championship. It's beautiful to play darts in the PDC, playing in front of huge crowds.
"I remember a BDO match at the World Masters final against Adam Smith-Neale. I was leading 2-0 and my mind was wandering to what was on my desk at work. I was playing in front of 50 people and that was the day when I thought I don't want to be in the BDO any more, there's nothing to achieve.
"Out of the blue Des Jacklin came out with the infamous 'you can go to Q-School now', it's as if someone was answering my prayers.
"It's very sad but very selfishly I'm just concentrating on my career. I will never say a bad word, you'll never see a headline from me ridiculing the BDO.
"I'm just looking forward to the Premier League and the 2020 season. I'm heavy in practice now, back to practicing twice a day again and excited for the future."

Well when you have banked 3 WC cheques for the correct amount, you would say it was hunky dory when you were there..

It's like they say inntit. History is written by the winners.
Adding that Warren "hunky dory" Brown and his 888.com ultrafantasy could still be worth a footnote. Still howling.

Re: Darts articles in the Media thread
Glenda is a soft touch. BDO4LIFE. And he would have just buried his head and put up with the BDO bullshit if he stayed. Another spineless git.
Will be interesting to see how he copes with the PL and the travel. Every week is going to be the biggest game of his career. He already bigged up how important the Fallon game was.

Never says a bad word about anyone or anything, which is what makes him hard to listen to. Too much filtering going on between mind and mouth.
