Just finishing listening to the interview, very intresting. Well done MH, great stuff.
One year I got a bike for my birthday. So I went peddling off down the road and knocked an old lady down.
'Can't you ring your bell?' She said. 'I can ring my bell,' I said 'But I can't ride my bike'

I suppose pushing it a bit far would have been to ask just how many Croft's are on the payroll, how many hire cars the family used for one of the weekend comps lately, all paid for out of BDO funds, why Olly had to bail Olly jnr out of jail and attend St Albans Crown Court, why Olly allows the family to use BDO counties owned HQ in pages lane as a flower shop, etc.

Or you just could have asked, why are the board so piss poor and weak to allow you to get away with murder and say feck all. By the way the answer to that is in the question.

As it's titled "Olly Croft Talks To www.thedartsforum.com" there's no escaping where it came from. Seems we lead and others follow.

A scouser nicking something?!?

Then denying it?!?

Next you'll be telling me that he entered a period of mourning when he found out where it came from.

Finally got round to listening to this, fair play to Olly for doing the interview but he does come across as quite bitter towards Hearn & the PDC

Interesting to hear he doesn't have Sky, I hope he's at least switched to digital or do you think he just sits listening to his gramophone?

Love it when Martin asks Olly about the Blood on the Carpet program, and Olly says "Fucking 'ell, that was 20 years ago.."

Those were existing floor tournaments with just the Last 8 filmed.

The last "new" event for TV the BDO instituted was the Unipart European Masters, which ran for one year in 1995. So 16 years ago if you want to be pedantic.
Big changes on the way ! We've heard it before but it's different this time !!!! , I believe Bdo gonna grow x

This...and the fact that the Setanta ones were three years ago anyway. Pedantry isn't his strong suit, is it? Mind you, radio presenting doesn't seem to be either.
