If you really think he has run to Spain with all the money, then you are an idiot. He isnt Lyle fucking Lanley!

Indeed they havent yet. The very idea he has "run off with the money", never to be seen again, is fucking ridiculous.

It's not about the money, it's about the honour they always told us?
Why then they are all moaning about the money I dont know.

Randall is spot on here. It's the official worlds, even if it's admittedly not the best standard anymore, the honour of winning should far outshine any potential financial rewards. The players all have day jobs so they won't really care how much they get. Stop the moaning, they will eventually get paid.

if they havent been paid by now then it is highly unlikely Des will suddenly appear to hand out cheques to everyone.
it is a pretty much defunct competition now anyway. he told them what the situation was a few days before the event started.

only Fallon had enough financial backing behind her to be able to walk away.

Exactly. If they are holding out on paying 20K from October for me that shows they are broke. BDO Championship is over folks no saving it. No one will want to take over given the state of long term contracts Des hobbled the BDO with. 10 years at indigo two more years with eurosport and who in the fuck knows how long the deal was with shit style and crapilator 180. Best thing to let the whole thing burn down and start over. Even better and wiser dont start over just die.

I just hope the consequences bounce back on Jacklin himself, but I fear that he'll get away with it on a personal level.

Thorn I can go collect your pills if you're running short mate. If you don't want them I'll take them all myself.
