I don't see what else they can do. It would be madness to continue and most people will decide not to take the risk of going anyway.

It's clear they are just shuffling dates as they don't want to cancel any not because of anything to do with the integrity of the event but because they earn x amount per week and getting even 2x or 3x is evidently worth more to them than the negative of how much of a mess it currently looks.

They couldn't put an event on as soon as the government withdraws first aid cover etc

Fearing the woosh here as usual but that's a very old-fashioned argument about the PL. They're not going to be handing out fat cheques for a while anyway.

So, Newcastle must now be finals night and Manchester becomes Judgement night?

Until it all changes again soon...

It's important of course but the idea that the PDC has a single cash cow is from the best part of a decade ago. Other stage events have taken off since then. The Euro Tour has massively expanded and the World Series has been formed, plus several new TV events designed and Ally Pally expanded. That lot shifts a mountain of tickets combined. Times have changed somewhat.

Across the whole sport package they have nothing to show.
I might ask for a discount!
