On the plus side. There was a bit of spare glue so there were also able to patch up inflatable Irene, who has been to a number of festive gatherings this holiday season. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder how long they were searching for something they came out top in ? As @richwwtk said, go back a little to the North/South split and attendances go up.

bert tann Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 The most entertaining duo in the world of professional darts will appear together for an evening of unrivalled sporting entertainment at Bristol Rovers FC in 2018. Darting royalty in the form of the legendary John Parrott will appear alongside charismatic pro-turned commentator and pundit Steve Davis at the Memorial Stadium on Wednesday 7 February. The pair are famous for their flamboyant and fun-loving stage presence as much as their excellent darting ability - and entertainment is guaranteed before a dart has even been thrown. Both have crowd-pleasing walk-on routines and are widely regarded as the kings of the exhibition circuit since retiring as professionals. Parrott, nicknamed ‘The King of Bling’ was a pioneer in bringing showbiz and razzmatazz into the game of darts. His professional record is impressive in its own right too. Parrott is a two-time World Championship finalist and a two-time News of the World Champion. Davis took up the mantle as the sport’s biggest personality in the modern Premier League era. “Interesting” also has an excellent professional record, reaching the semi-finals of the World Championship five times before opting to retire early and pursue a successful media career. The pair will entertain the crowd with their trademark on stage antics during matches against lucky local players. They will then reveal all about their incredible lives during the amazing rise of darts with an up close and personal interview, featuring an open question and answer session with the audience. Tickets for this unique event are available now from Bristol Rovers FC via:- The Memorial Stadium, Filton Avenue, Bristol, BS7 0BF Website - www.brfctickets.com 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 19 hours ago, TRL said: But that doesn't count. They quite rightly say we have only existed since 1982. So surely only records from that date should be looked at? Otherwise they would be having a monopoly of all the available fans before that year. Or are they suggesting we were around before that? Oh no watch them disappear in a flash of conflicting @gaslogic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereas for 2017, our own "evening of unrivalled sporting entertainment" came on the pitch last week....in the area of sport in which we specialise... and not in seeing two retired darts players appear at the ground! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
