I am talking about the following players:

1. Ronnie Baxter: Age 50 (twice world finalist and who has dropped out of the top 16)

2. Mark Dudbridge: Age 39 (2002 World Master and 2005 PDC World Finalist who has recently dropped out if the top 32)

3. Peter Manley: Age 49 ( 3 Time World Finalist, former world no 1 and 2003 Las Vegas Desert Classic Champion)

4.Roland Scholten: Age 46 ( 2004 UK Open Champion)

5. Andy Jenkins: Age 40 (2007 PDC World semi finalist)

6.Chris Mason: Age 42 ( Twice World semi finalist)

7. Wayne Mardle: Age 38 ( 5 Time World semi finalist)

8. Alan Warriner Little: Age 49 (Former World no 1, 2001 World Grand Prix Champion and 1993 World Championship Runner Up)

9. Peter Evison: Age 47 (1989 World Master and 1996 World Matchplay Champion)

10. Andy Fordham: Age 49 ( 2004 World Champion and 1999 World Master)


I know its a big list but I would like your opinions on them all

Only mardle could ever see those dizzy heights again

I hope for his, and for the fans sake that he rekindles his old form

Manley, Mardle, Scholten and Warriner Little are the ones id like too see come back to form

Mason could come back to form. He seems pretty determined to find his game again.


Scholten could too and I hope he does. He is a gentleman.

Mardle hasnt got the desire anymore but hes still young and has time to change it

Baxter is 50? Jaypers, he's past it at this stage I feel. Can't see Mardle returning to form he's more than happy with his cushy job with sky can't see him having the determination in getting back to the top. I think Mace the Ace will return to some kind of form can see him hitting top 32 again. Who'd have thought after world final in 05 that Dudbridge would decline so much, I thought he'd have at least one WC by now.

Most likely you'll see the likes of Scholten as they did in the World Championships maybe take a lower seeded scalp in R1. I'd never say never but I'd find it hard to see (m)any make a major top 32 impact again.

Scholten is doing ok recently. Now does seem to be the time for a renaissance though with the likes of Burnett competing well again.

scholten, baxter, mardle and mason. i'd say baxter will find some form this year , not sure whether mardle or mason can do as good a comeback like ritchie burnett. i can't see the rest making much of a impact tbh

1. Ronnie Baxter: When he drops out of the top 32 it'll be bye, bye Ronnie

2. Mark Dudbridge: Nice guy but nowhere near good enough for the top end of the current pdc crop. Might bother one or two more tv comps but thats it.

3. Peter Manley: Gone. Pretty much a combination of a drop in his ability and the rise of the pdc.

4.Roland Scholten: Can get to one or two more tv comps but will never ever be a tv regular again.

5. Andy Jenkins: Seems to be regaining a bit of form but I played him in Killarney and he couldn't hit the board. Say he beat me with a 52 avearage.

6.Chris Mason: Never had or never will have the mentality to be a consistantly good playeer

7. Wayne Mardle: Nope

8. Alan Warriner Little: Nope

9. Peter Evison: Nope

10. Andy Fordham: Nope.

Are you serious with Andy jenkins gone THAT BAD?? Is it dartitis or what he has?. It was only 2 yrs ago that he beat Phil Taylor in the GSOD. WOW, how the mighty have fallen.

Now onto Chris Mason, He seems pretty serious about this comeback and I think he can trouble the best again. he said that he only gave 70% commitment previously and he said he is now going to give it 100% and has unfinished business. He has given up smoking and drinking and has been working with a sporting consultancy company consisting of a sports psychologist, personal trainer, accountant, solicitor and a web designer so this is some serious commitment.

Mark Dudbridge: wont make it back
Andy fordham: wont either nor will Peter Manley

Roland Scholten: Its hard to know with him, he is still trying to find some consistancy after that shoulder operation and he even said after his win over jamie Caven that he still feels he can play a lot better. Hopefully he will find form

Wayne Mardle: Still young but i dont think so. Doesnt have the desire anymore and I cant see him giving up his job with sky

Alan Warriner Little: Hasnt Played much darts since the 2008 World Championship so ill be interested in seeing how he does in the pdc Q school.

Peter Evison: definately not. couldnt even make an impression on the bdo circuit
