This is the good shit, a BDO press release from when Wayne Mardle made the switch in 2002.

WAYNE MARDLE: THE FACTS

The PDC announcement welcoming a ‘new talent’ in Wayne Mardle insults the player and the system within which he has played his darts.

The fact is that, such is the outstanding quality and depth of players within the British Darts Organisation playing system, he has been unable to gain enough qualifying points to be invited to the 2003 Embassy World Professional Darts Championships.

Is this the real reason why he has decided to play his darts in a less competitive system?

He was recently heard to say that qualifying for the Embassy was too hard (even though he has signed a contract to do so) whereas he could virtually walk into the PDC, who (unable to create its own talent and worried about stagnation) have relentlessly pursued him.

His remarks, if made by him, could be deemed offensive to all the BDO/WDF officials who have helped him, and the countless players who he has played, socialised with and been supported by for many years.

“As an employer for some forty years, I have seen lots of people come and go on good terms, and the same applies to darts”, says Olly Croft. “But it is wrong to criticise your friends and colleagues and those who have supported you and provided opportunites.

“Wayne has always said that the Embassy is the best Championship in world darts, but he has not qualified and has clearly been offered an easier option to play elsewhere. It won’t matter whether he’s got enough points, because he can choose to go into a play-off, and if that fails there’s always a wild card on offer.

“He’s quoted as saying he’s gone to the Premiership of darts but in reality he’s turned his back on the World Champions Darts League!”

The PDC operates a closed system for a few players and has weakened its ‘world’ titled event by adding another 8 players through qualification and wild cards. In contrast, the BDO is open, fair and competitive.

The real difference is that quality players have to get to the Embassy by right, and there are no easy options. As a result those who win it know they have reached the very pinnacle of world darts excellence. The Embassy title is the No.1 in world Darts.

The BDO has total respect for its players, whether they are professionals or just starting out, and continues to go from strength to strength in producing new players at the very top world levels – men, women and youth – and creating more and more darts on terrestrial television.

This growth in standards and world-class darts on BBC terrestrial television, is set to get even better in 2003, because the BDO is proud to be the leading promoter in world darts, not the leading darts ‘poacher’.

What an excellent find, it's akin to Woolworths saying how great a brand they have and we know what happened there

[The Ginge Reaper]

A great find. Imagine if the BDO had wild cards in their events...

[Surreys finest]

What did Mardle say upon switching that upset the BDO so much? PT13 will know I bet.

[PT13]

What did Mardle say upon switching that upset the BDO so much? PT13 will know I bet.

It was in 2002. Mardle said something to the effect that he was joining the top league in darts, to challenge and beat the best players. At the 2003 World Championship, Mardle famously said that if he plays like he can, Taylor doesn't come into the equation. Oh, Wayne

Prior to his switch, Mardle was popular in the BDO, and they were glad to have a flamboyant star in their own ranks. In 2002, the BDO had a good field, miles and miles better than today.

Olly Croft's old quotes are comedy gold. The irony is that the BDO board getting rid of Croft only accelerated their decline much further and faster, a bit like what assassinating Julius Caesar did to the Roman Republic after 44 BC. As for Wayne Mardle, he played superb against Phil Taylor at the 2003 World Championship, with Taylor winning 5-3. Taylor definitely saw Mardle as a serious threat for some time afterwards. Yet Olly Croft, like his dismissals of the rebels after the split, paints Mardle as washed up.
