[Other Sport] BDO Darts

[Lenny Rider]

Granted not the same standard as the PDC but the crowd actually go there to not only enjoy themselves but predominantly to watch the darts, not like the room full of pissheads at the Ally Pally.

 

[LVGull]

No score

 

[Luke93]

Martin, you require 2.

 

[Sheebo]

Bang on there Harry and I’m a PDC man really. Here now, signal bad but managed to follow the game so it’s time to get on it now

Fair points, but the winner of this calling themselves World Champion is a joke.

I do agree Harty. I got pissed as a fart at the Brighton Centre. But it was a great evening

 

[Pavilionaire]

I've literally just switch on to hear the words "Marrin Phillips, can he finally lift this trophy before he draws his pension?"

 

[southstandandy]

You need 2, for a check out in only 35 darts!

They just said that winner of the last two BDO World titles Glen Durrant is a full- time housing manager in Middlesbrough.

Nah! Not for me anymore. As it's just down the road from me I used to go most years but the standard got worse and the crowds got smaller each time. The last time I went we were all corralled into a small space around the stage for the benefit of the cameras while half the auditorium was empty.

Lakeside has also seen far, far better days. It's tatty and is almost a Phoenix Nights parody now. When I went to the gents the only part of the floor that didn't have piss on it had poo on it. Nasty.

And I can get on stage myself and bash out a string of 26s if I want to.

 

[Djmiles]

No thanks. I appreciate some people like it, but watching it reminds me of the non darts players on Bullseye trying to hit a red zone to win a food trolley.

Painful and something best left in the 1980’s.

One hundredddd and eeeighty ... oh sorry 9

Would it be wrong for them to b e referred to as either the World Amateur Champion or get a company to sponsor the event again so they return to something like the News of The Word Champion .Perhaps The Sun so it become The Sun world Champion.

Isn't that the fat one from Hale and Pace?

Did I see that the BDOs are being televised on Quest? WTF is that all about?

 

[dangull]

To be fair boxing has alphabet world champions as well. The WBO belt being the least regarded I think.

Yeah, but other than that, you're a big fan, right?

Was it a sell out? Or did they position the crowd for the cameras?

I have to say Eurosport’s coverage knocks the former offerings of the Beeb and Channel 4 into a cocked hat.

Is Eurosport on freeview?

Channel 4 pulled out after 2 years, but it’s on Eurosport as well.
