You used to get hundreds attending some county games though, Ive seen pictures somewhere.

Back in the eighties county was fucking huge and I was at many games with full houses. The places were heaving

Back in the 80's and early 90's the best players in the world played county. Bristow, Lowe, Wilson, Taylor, Priestley all the world champs, every big name. It would be the equivalent now of having Taylor, Lewis, Wade, Anderson Wright and the rest playing in your local WMC for a £4 entrance fee, they would be Quinn round the block from 7am to get in.

Nowadays no cunt is interested in Doggy Dawson and Dennis Harbour etc. The only people bothered are the players who have no ambition to better themselves against the elite of the game and officials who if it wasn't for county darts would be sat in old folks homes with soup dribbling down their chins.

Fuck county darts. It's fucking shit.

And therein lies the difference. Let's also remember Woolworths on the high street was also heaving with customers day in day out. There is a valid comparison here

Aye, Frank Woolworth was better at darts than Doggy and Harbour.

[The Shank]

Bring back indoor skittles, That was huge in the 50's -Apologies for behaving like a mushroom! Lol!

These were usually played on a Sunday, when the pubs had to shut for a few hours, that was the scene. Big working mens club, to watch some of the best and only known players then, get rat arsed then out on the steam round the locals till lock in time. All connected to drink and having a good time, not now when its half your wage for a night out, cant have a smoke in peace and shite players playing, isn't the greatest draw.

No one round lancashire way knows county goes on, no ads, no contacting pub teams. Just the usual old crowd turn up and there not getting any younger. Fuck it off and just have 12 or so county opens. Half the time it's an expensive trip round the country all raised by fuckin programmes and levies to superleague players who won't get picked cos their not licking Dave Marcrofts ring and signing for his team because he will get them in the Lancashire side. Joke from start to finish.

Cba to make its own thread
Hogan bounced out of the Gold Cup straight off the bat.
Barrie Bates tearing it up and into the quarters.
Kev McDine in the last 16 as well.

[Justin Credible]

[Trueblue32]

County champions only invited.

No Mitchell, Adams or any of the "stars"

[Justin Credible]

gold cup ????

Tin foil is more like it

[Robert Ross]

"Loyalty"
The stuff that pwoper champions are made of.

[Trueblue32]

Joyce, averaging a mind blowing 84, sees off Warren, who caned the trebles with a 78 average, 6-3.
Astonishingly Joyce, the now Gold Cup champion, averaged almost identically Fat face Fallon, who beat Deta in the final in the ladies.

[Justin Credible]

Deta shitting herself in a final.

I refuse to believe it.....houseboy will be picking turds of her kacks tonight in a chalet

[Trueblue32]
