Didnt it die a slow enough death last year?
Have they no shame.

If it does get confirmed next week they will have less than 2 months to shift tickets.

It'll almost certainly be a disaster if it does go ahead. But I suspect it won't.

Be handing out free tickets in every local boozer to no effect again no doubt

15 people watching in the hall. Duzza's taxi driver not having a clue who he was or that an event was even happening then it got fucking trounced in the ratings by Polish speedway.

They tried free tickets last year. It didn't work.

Was it this event where they put flyers in milk bottles or something?

Poll added.

I am going with no. I think Des will cancel in an attempt to save face.

No BDO Darts Today Please

I think it will purely out of vanity

I think he'll spin it that he saved the tournament. Even though it'll lose money!

Commercial suicide to run this now surely.

Exactly.

Which is why I think Des will pull the plug. Then list his excuses (the previous regime, etc).

If he knew it was commercial suicide he wouldnt have said last night it was still on as it stands.

No way he would have broken the news it had been cancelled over the radio imagine how embarrassing that would have been.

Let’s be honest, if it is on there will be hardly any cunt there and it will look abysmal.
It would be hilarious and for that reason, I want it to go ahead.

He did sort of leave himself an out with the "as it stands" comment. That leaves the door open for things to change.

He could be grandstanding with the claim that the venue will be confirmed next week. Or maybe I am giving him too much credit.

Suppose announcing its cancelled 5 minutes before you turn your phone off to get on a plane isnt the worst theory in the world.
