You might get a proper game through the week to enjoy but the majority of the time you're just looking for clips, soundbites and screenshots to share and laugh at how embarrassing it is that people are trying to make out it's serious business.

This is spot on

I stopped watching the X Factor auditions a few years back as was just same shit different day.

I haven't watched the x factor since 2014 but i get what he means BDO is done imagine if Durrant,McGeeney,Williams,Waites,McKinstry all get tour cards jesus imagine what next years line up will be like

10. Denis Ovens

Report on the Wednesday evening session from over the road. Just for MH.

Floor tables away from the stage at the back all empty. Half the "players area" empty and virtually no-one in the cheap seats at the back. 40% of capacity at best, including the Reynolds and Waites chavs.

Ovens was better than most of them.

Fear not, as long as those in attendance had a good time that's all the matters.

Well said pal. Darts isn't about numbers.

The sad thing is what was once a fantastic event is now dying on it's arse

As recently as 10 years ago, Gary Anderson, Mark Webster and Simon Whitlock were playing there.

Everyone on that side needs to cut out the crap and just accept what they are: the organisation for amateur darts. But even that won't save them.

and 2 out the 3 won fuck all, yet gando went on to dominate the pdc #justsaying

Yes sir.

Good old The Heat.

A year younger than Wolfie. I'm sure he'll be back.

2 women who played in the main draw at ally pally, fail to make final of the womens world championship,chuckle

Lets see what Glenda wins in the PDC eh? I remember cunts going on about fat Bunter when he switched and he won a floor tourney in his first few weeks. Done fuck all since and likely to be out of the top 32 in the next 2 years

i dont think it requires a question mark to be honest. in terms of the battering the bdo have taken over the last 12 months, lakey has been a revelation this week. 13 classic games to date,a Japanese star in the womens final, something the pdc could only dream of, in fact 2 women who played in the pdc main draw just gone, couldn't reach the final here , that tells you the standard of the womens bdo game. youth final was brilliant, even had phil taylor drooling on twitter about it. in the mens draw durrant is on course to match lowe and wolfies 3 titles, if he wins he is only 2 behind eric in the all time list.

the production has been brilliant,packed knowledgeable crowd bar a isolated incident,spread across 2 channels, little richard, has been brilliant, even members here said he is the best mc in the business, no fighting amongst players, embracing each other in victory or defeat, compare that to wade who wanted "to hurt" his opponent in the fake world championship, money can buy you a lot of things in life but it cant buy you class, that is were the bdo is superior to the pdc, roll on the semi finals today, excellent tournament once again.enjoy.

Every year you start this thread.

Is Fanny a secret Hearn fanboy by any chance?
