For a long time the BDO slagged the PDC for what they did, then the prize money in the pdc over took the BDO, then almost every year the BDO world champ immediately switched. Then the BBC dropped em, Channel 4 stepped in, then they dropped em. As you said the stupid final move was for the BDO to drop lakeside.
The current state of the BDO was the prediction of the original 16 if nothing changed. They didn't change so guess what...
The PDC are very at what they do. The BDO are very bad at what they do
