Tell it to Ted Hankey, abused by BDO crowds for years. Interesting stat - Anastasia's 82.29 average in winning the women's final was better than Tony O'Shea's 81.9 average in losing the men's final. Waites wins title 7-1 with an average of 86.43. Absolute shower at the BDO.

There's a myth about the BDO crowd being intelligent and the PDC crowd being morons. With the game tied at 4 sets apiece Harms was throwing for a crucial double when he was put off by some idiot shouting out. O'Shea then won that leg and with it the set. O'Shea was visibly upset for the Dutchman...

I confidently predict that from here on in there will be a number of competitive matches with averages ranging from 86.00 - 96.00. What there won't be is 100+ averages or blokes hitting a 9-darter and then following it up with 8 more perfect darts. The only similarity with the PDC is that a...

Average, according to the Liverpool Echo, were Fitton 93.69, Bunting 95.70. That's a bog standard PDC Premier League match, but you wouldn't trouble Phil Taylor or MVG unless you added 5 to that.

The point needs to be made that in the era of Bristow, Lowe and Jocky the wires WERE a lot thicker so the target was smaller and there were a lot more bounce-outs. There's massive disparity between the averages of Taylor and Bristow in his pomp, but some of it was due to the board. You...

Nobody can deny the BDO has been a conveyor belt of talent in the past but I don't see the same quality there any more. Scotty Waites is a good player, Tony O'Shea would earn a decent living in the PDC but after that anyone else would struggle to break into the PDC Order Of Merit Top 20.

More fool them. The present situation is like the BBC presenting Championship football as the pinnacle of the domestic football world as if the Premier League didn't exist. The BBC get hours of coverage relatively cheaply, while the BDO can carry on with their complacent organisation without...

Re my posting above - when I said Seeded No.1 I meant world champion. But in the BDO last year's world champ doesn't necessarily get seeded. According to BDO mouthpiece Bobby George "it's because since winning he ain't done anything, he hasn't got out of bed." This is the same Bobby George...

I'm a massive darts fan and the best thing for darts is if the Beeb drop the darts. It would force the BDO to deal with a commercial channel who wouldn't put up with any shit. Either that or it would die on its arse. When Phil Taylor retires I'd love him to try and broker a solution to the...

You don't get it. What sponsor / investor / broadcaster wants to see the best players knocked out in the 1st Round? That is inevitable when seed 1 plays seed 5. Post-Olympics, the BBC might now end up with a Micky Mouse final and think "f*** this, next year we'll cover more cycling instead"...

The BDO is so ludicrous they seed and then do an open draw. Therefore, the get a scenario where they have their No. 1 seed playing the No. 5 seed in the 1st Round. By the time you get to the semis you have a couple of jokers because they've had any easy path, making for a shit business end of...
