The BDO is struggling to even get coverage for a few TV tournaments. Imagine a PL when they have to get TV rights for 10+ nights.

Of course no one would fucking watch it, apart from a few nutjobs like you. Only hardcore fans watch BDO these days, and they generally don't really like the PDC Premier League compared to other TV tournaments. Imagine the same with BDO players, an awful standard, would be totally pointless.

Obviously every half decent player is gone now (Bunting, Norris, Wilson, Menzies, Hughes, Noppy only in the last 3-4 years)
The ones who remain are mostly uninspiring and not great to watch, even if you don't consider standard they play at (Durrant, McGeeney, Mitchell, Williams etc)

TL;DR They couldn't do it when the organisation was in much better health 10 years ago. Fuck all chance now.

What an incredibly stupid question.

But how about that Super Series:

Coming to a venue nowhere near you never.
2020 World Grand Prix Lucky Dip winner!
2x 2019 Q-School Lucky Dip winner!

Both as valuable as the Lakeside piss pot!

Trying building a ten-man BDO PL around say 2000 shows how much of a start they had on the PDC in this area.

Barney, Spineless, King, Fordham, Hankey, Mardle, Mason, Finton, O'Sheep, Stompe, David, G-Anderson, George, Beaton, Baxter... people like that. All infused with years of BBC exposure while the PeeDeeCee was largely hidden away.

They did bugger all wiv that then. As for today, megarofls.

They couldnt even get a Champions exbo tour off the ground, all cancelled before Night 1 due to poor sales.

Could it be because full and borderline mushrooms didn't 'ALL raise the bar'?

Warren Joseph Brown
I think the standard of the darts & production will improve IF we ALL raise the bar?

BBC pay £millions for Wimbledon as it generates £millions! It also sells out!

ITV pay £millions for Racing as it generates £millions! It also sells out!

Sky pay big monies to PDC as it generates big money! It also sells out!

Therefore if the #bdofamily support the BDO and sell out new events, then it's a commercial certainty to attract TV and Large Sponsors?

Bigger Prize Funds
Better Venues
Full Time Players

The BDO have took THAT step, let's hope the BDO supporters jump on board!

Imagine, proper darts in front of tens of spectators from geriatric homes who knows what best of order is, reasonable avgs on regulated boards and Doggy Dawson every week...
I think it's a great idea. We should tell Selectas.

Those are all proper locations. But I would also go international, Blažejovice in Czech Republic, Gaziosmanpaşa in Turkey and Gjirokastër in Albania...
