Yeah Fitton is still good enough to get through Q school with his experience, got through his group at the grand slam

The PDC seem to reward BDO TV winners better than the actual BDO do.

Neither of this year's "major" winners in attendance is poor.

Also no Jeff Smith for that matter, winner of the world cup which is also a "major" according to the man himself.

Nobody cares about Smith.
Durrant must be delighted with the pole withdrawing.
The less quality he has to face the better.

All of Ratajski, Machin and Smith are perfectly capable to reach QFs or SFs at Lakeside. This is a really depleted field even by BDO standards. Makes Lakeside a joke not to have the winners of the 3 biggest events in the system there

In Machin and smiths fault it's the cost that's kept them away from qualifying presumably?

I agree. with a good draw they will be in the thick of it. But hey Big Robbo is playing

Machin did average on tour. Smith finished 2nd

10 Canadian ranking events, Smith missed 4 and of the 6 he entered David Cameron won 3 of them to Jeff Smith's 2.

So not even the best player in Canada.

Nope. In that regard he has himself to blame (He will put this right i suspect) but WDF world Cup winners need a place at Lakeside

He blamed coming over here for major events was the reason he missed the 4 but thats a load of bollocks because only one of them clashed and that was with the final weekend of Lakeside.

His choice not to push for it but Hogan is another significant absentee. Shame he's not at the GSoD actually instead of the wailing farmer/FcLoyalty.

Hogan should've played at the British Open/Classic a few wins would have got him there

In the PDC you make the Worlds comfortably with winning an Euro Tour, even a PC win makes it very likely. In the BDO the third biggest major TV event doesn't get you in.

System is deeply flawed

Agreed. It values floor events the same as TV events

Some more musings from the BDO salon for the deluded .........

Who is Ceri on about at the bottom? If he's on about Ratajski he is absolutely spot on.

What does Tyrone think he won??

Oh Frontrunner!

Dunno when the fine was paid or if there is one but may explain the hasty retreat from Freeview.

Half expected the complaint to be about sub standard darts.
