Which was the last Lakeside on CH4? Was it 2018 or 2019? I seem to recall that the O2 fiasco was only shown on Eurosport and perhaps Quest.
I think the final CH4 Lakeside was the final time amateur darts had any sort of wider appeal. I would wager that many of those who watched say the Duzza vs Noppert final in 2017 were unaware of the WDF event at Lakeside last year, let alone watched it.
Yes probably. You could set your watch by BBC-BDO-January for decades which was precious for the event and the mass awareness of it.
Do you miss it?
I have missed it each January. Wayne Warren's butt crack is the last time I smiled.
Having it in April was rubbish. It mixed very badly with sunshine so December will be far better time for it. Thing is though it was the presence of the BDO itself that provided the comedy and that isn't coming back. Which is great news for darts but bad news for lolseekers. So yes I do miss it but I'm also glad it's dead.
100% agreed.
Madsocks was right, even if he is shite.

BDO or WDF it's the same thing to me. The standard will be a bit lower than in the BDO Golden Era (2014-2018) but I still expect some good games. I am looking forward to the event. And December is a very good date for it as the break before the Worlds is too long without any darts. Sort of as a warmup to the real thing
The truth, however ugly in itself, is always curious and beautiful to seekers after it.

Madsocks was right, even if he is shite.
Maybe we can learn to enjoy it on its own terms. Like... as a darts tourmament. I'm scared.
