Who would possibly want to extend their stay at Bunn Leisure with less than two week's notice?

If I'm reading this correctly the extension is prior to the event rather than after and would mean anyone working having to use valuable leave time or take it unpaid.

That's gonna work!

"proper darts"

How many viewers/paying fans would watch a clash between the top 2 in the BDO? Duzza vs McGeeney isn't even a draw for the die hard bdo fan...they would want Wolfie vs Oshea.

[Justin Credible]

of course if you want the PDC and the best players on the planet , its only cos you bought the PDC hype......

[Rogg]

Speaking of which, potbelly, gooner and pout are mushrooming like fuck over the road

"you have to be some kind of sad act to watch [the Gibraltar Darts Trophy documentary] just to post about how crap it is"

Madsocks was right.

[Jobber]

ifm is the type of guy that buys oshea a pint EVERYTIME he sees him.

[Rogg]

In fairness, it can't be much fun for him to have been born in the mid-19th Century with no redeeming features.

McGeeney is the newest object of baffling, clammy affection. That purple patch is coming, any day now...

[Dazzla501]

I've played BDO darts for the best part of 20 years now. Been through youth county, superleague, senior county and had a decent stab at the big opens and what not (got a couple of rounds from Lakeside at my peak a decade ago).

Bottom line though, while the effort and attitude from all the volunteers is admirable the elite side of the game is on it's arse. No one outside of the player's family, friends and selected fanatics gives a shit these days and there isn't a pool of potential consumers left - the PDC have already bagged them.

Streaming online is absolutely fine and the likes of UniLad are a great avenue...but for fucks sake stop spunking money on TV coverage now. Its not the 1980's anymore and you will get nothing from it except a shit credit rating and a depleted bank account!

[ITG]

Can anyone tell me the Williams' background btw, and what makes them qualified to run the BDO and take a salary + "expenses"?
