They want to compete with the PDC, not just simply run darts tournaments. That's why the "world pro" still exists even though it lags well behind the competitor, thats why they put barriers in place for players thinking of switching, and they fall further and further behind every year in terms of prize money, match averages, attendance, revenue, everything.

Success though, eh?

All you can do is improve your current position.

The prior regime were stagnant and regressive and allowed it to get into this state.

The current regime have brought back a defunct major, got a lot more events on television and are in the process of getting a multi-event deal with a big sporting television network who have cash to burn.

I'd say that was progress, yes.

Have you actually seen what they put on TV? The fag end of a few floor events is definitely a huge backward step as it's no advert for darts of any kind apart from a fairground stall.

Also why with all this progress are the top two seeds fucking off along with another couple from the top eight? Is that progress as well?

Green's the 16th seed if you want to get technical but I see your point.

There's nothing they can do if people want to switch codes. The problems were created by the old regime refusing to move with the times.

All they can do is put on more events with bigger money so that in a couple of years the Greens and Wilsons of that time are happy enough where they are. That's what they're trying to do.

Eurosport's coverage isn't particularly good but it's a starting point. If they can get their bigger events on BT Sport and keep the coverage of Opens on Eurosport it'll be a good thing.

No one is really watching Eurosport darts apart from real fanatics.

The standard has got better? Even with enormous trebles and a bucket for a bull the standard is shit.

You condemned a higher standard the last two weeks, which is it?

This one should be good

It's improved to the point tha it's still far worse than the "shit" at all pally is how I'm reading it?

It's all relative. From midway through the last 32 at Ally Pally it was very good. The problem was it took 10 or 11 days to get to that stage from the start of the event.

The first round was long and boring. Of the 32 matches there may have been 5 or 6 which were entertaining. The rest of it was either uncompetitive or shite. All this while Sky blatantly lied to people's faces about how good it was, tried to whitewash Ted Hankey and Paul Lim from history and took a six or seven minute break after nearly every set.

The standard throughout was far better than lakeside whichever spin you want to put on it.

[Justin Credible]

fact

The last 64 of the pdc was better than the last 64 of lakeshite, yet pdc was shit but bdo with a lower average was not

Same again happened in the last 32 where the pdc was far higher than the last 32 of the bdo
again the pdc was shit but the bdo was not.

Utter horseshit.

The last 64 were of a higher overall standard than Lakeside so far, that's without taking into account when Ally Pally really kicked off. As for the comms have you listened to any of the shit spouted this week?

[Jobber]

its not even the darts, the pdc wipes the fucking floor with the bdo on top names and new prospects aswell. I couldn't give a fuck about what fitton, wart, robbo and the crew average as they bore me to tears.

[Fake Wade's Official Sunday Account]

From an average perspective yes.

It's relative though. The first seven or eight days at Ally Pally weren't up to the standard that the PDC usually puts on TV. Even the PDC fans on here were saying "wait until the last 16/32", which is basically acknowledging that over half your tournament falls well below expectations.

On the other hand, the BDO don't have as many good players but their tournament has been better than pretty much all the recent Lakesides. As such, it has exceeded expectations.

[Jobber]

fitton vs duzza. ha! that's EXACTLY what im talking about..who cares about that match? seriously?

[M H]

From an average perspective yes.

Ok, I think I'm starting to get it. Because it's marginally above the totally dire expected standard it's actually good.

So your saying this is shit compared to ally pally but not quite as shit as last year's lakeside so it's better than ally pally?

[Tommo]

For fucks sake, why do they even bother?

Can someone please beg Darty to take the cunt back. He and 101 are a real win double

[Fake Wade's Official Sunday Account]

Success is relative.

If they have more televised tournaments and their games are of a better standard then that's success.

[M H]

No, absolutely not. It's simply very marginally less of a failure
