If they draft in none tour holders there will be arguments
It would be just like on here then.
Say you lost your game to a qualified player and a guy behind you in the rankings beats corinne to fo above you?
I wouldn’t be too happy about it.
Im looking at this from a fan perspective of what I would like to see as a one off this year, not from a dart player ranked low down in the oom.
I’ll use you as an example, you bang on about the post count and want to get more posts. I am sure you will agree if the PDC went with the players I picked you would get more posts on here than 8 people that not many people would most possibly be bothered about.
as much as i would appreciate it i dont think the post count on here should be a factor in deciding entries into the worlds premier major
Imagine the hits this site would get though if in some parallel universe, the PDC were swayed by what some on this forum thought 😀

I'm arguing against it
Hj is calling for it
In my defence I didn’t first bring John Lowe up.
Also, barely any cunt knows who John Lowe is these days.
I bet way more people know who he is than John Henderson.
In fact I’d go as far to say, that if you asked people over the age of 40-45 who were not really dart fans they would know who John Lowe was.
How many dart players are known by the mainstream public who aren’t into darts?

Taylor
Barney
Bristow
Jockey
Lowe
MVG

Possibly Adams and Hankey maybe Anderson, Wade, Wright, Lewis to more very casual dart fans.
few years back it was a pointless question
virtually all the bdo champions were pointless

someone did say wolfie smith.
I said Hankey and Adams as their championship was shown on mainstream tv with far more viewers.

im sure someone connected to the pdc is abreast of what is said generally on social media
other than tsod where they are protected the players stay away
we have had duzza, mardle, bunting, mason and dfw on here in the past.

Pedantry aside, somebody who doesn’t follow darts but ha seen him may refer to him as that.
Speaking of dart players being well known. Last November we met a Dutch couple whilst on holiday in Turkey and I got talking about darts and I asked the guy if he was a fan ( he wasn’t) he only knew of two Dutch players Barney and MVG.

Adams was known as a lot of things, "giggling, spineless, prostate hole cunt" was a popular one.
They're all here!
