pork chops?

Winmau posting stuff about the event on their FB page totally at odds with the actual format of the event the BDO have stated.

Making it up as they fucking go along, the pair of them.

Winmau are bank rolling it, more inclined to trust them

disturbing

Bloody hell

Martin Fitzmaurice or the logo? The World Masters was on Sky Sports for 2 years (1991-1992), won by Rod Harrington and Dennis Priestley.

Both!

So there was more than one TV event a year? The rebels 'ruined' the game for nothing!

The bdo are cunts??

Olly Croft was in business with Sky Sports in 1991 and 1992, so this does add interesting questions as to why the split happened regardless. Clearly, Sky were interested in darts TV coverage, and the people who later worked for the WDC/PDC had originally approached Olly Croft and the BDO. The WDC themselves initially wanted to create new darts TV events and then give them to the BDO to run. The WDC even wanted Olly Croft with them.

What was really going on? I think Croft felt that he owned darts, as a possession and family heirloom, and nobody else was going to decide where darts should go but him.

Croft would rather TV darts died altogether with him at the helm than relinquish any control and watch it flourish. Very sad. Thank fuck for the 14 brave souls and Uncle Baz after them.

It's the Sky Sports logo that completes the look. Here's what you could have won.
