I can see him being elimated straight away. Rather have seen Gurney in tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhistleHappy Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 Just like the Premier League vs The Rest in football ..... it seems to me that darts has more than its fair share of glory hunters too. Just saying. Personally I couldn't give a shite like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 I watched a bit of Scott Mitchell earlier on. It was like watching a pub match. The PDC is where it's at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 I still think Lakeside is the home of darts.. I also think the crowd is less lads lads! First leg I watched today and someone needed double 1 Watched Jim Williams yesterday and he looked ok. Nailed on he will be PDC next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 The standard is obviously a lot lower, but you're right about the crowd, people actually go to watch the darts instead of just for the beer and Top Bantz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinmabbuttshair Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 Both organisations have a role to play. Uncle Barry sold out and makes lots of players rich. The prem league and the move from the circus tavern changed darts forever. The BDO are a bit stuck in the past however they run the vast majority of pub leagues etc and do a fantastic job at that bringing players through. Calling the winner of the lakeside world champion is a bit silly now but the winners of this year's superbowl will crowned world champions as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 I'm not 100% sure about why the PDC formed out of the BDO but I saw Eric Bristow on a documentary a while back saying that at the time he didn't feel the hierarchy in the BDO weren't very proactive in promoting darts on the TV and led an exodus of players into the newly formed BDO. Im not sure when Barry Hearn got involved but it's down to his business acumen by introducing Sky as a media platform that made darts what we see today. The rest is history.....

Guest Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 So Taylor is retiring at end of year. Don't like bloke but can't know what he's done personally and to the PDC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Red Rich Posted December 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 Time to bring this thread back to the top. So tournament predictions? Is it MVG all the way? Hopefully it won't be fixed for Taylor to go out on top but wouldn't put it past Hearn to do it.... Im going to the evening sesh on 28th - anyone else going?

Super Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 Have to admit it's going to be strange without Taylor love him or hate him. How exactly can it be fixed for Taylor to win? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
