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.
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.
Feel free, they are worthless anyway

Decent tournament but a bit of a slog at times, quite happy Warren won it.
Hope the tournament is back in some shape or form next year.

To add, the male refs were all good and Matt Smith done a good job presenting in what must have been a clusterfuck situation for him. Rawling decent on comms as I mentioned he is way more tolerable without Mason alongside him and O'Shea a bit basic but good value I thought.

My cat would probably look good next to the demented ramblings of John Gwynne, so I wouldn't heap too much praise on Rawling.

Still not great but he went from a 10/10 on the hate scale to a 7. Noticed he thankfully ignored and switched subjects quickly on a few occasions when Nicolson was attempting to go off on random tangents.
He's insufferable when paired with Mason though, too much mutual back slapping.

He's not terrible when he's aware of what's going on but he very clearly goes on regular piss-ups with the Jobbos of the world this time of year so he ends up in full on drone mode and it's painful at best.

Rawling knows nothing about darts, he only watches the games he commentates on.

I'm not even convinced he watches them, or at least he doesn't take much in and as a result has much less darts knowledge than about 99% of viewers.
At a recent tournament he was genuinely surprised to be told that Kirk Bevins had been on Countdown.

Dave Tingey
Dave Tingey In real terms, allowing for inflation, the last time the winner received this amount was in 1982 when Jocky beat John in the final at Jollees. It was never this low at lakeside (12k in 86 is worth about 36k today).

Clearly i never knew there was a eurotour at the o2 this year. Standard was a bit off though.

£10.00 for the women's winner, seems about right.
