    Its pretty shocking that they haven't paid out the masters money yet. I saw something this morning that said they've sold 1963 tickets for the worlds so far they'll need to up those numbers lively.

    9% of tickets sold overall


    11% of tickets to the final sold.

    He's too busy promoting darts trips to Torremolinos and North Cyprus to worry about promoting the World Championships.

    Olly Croft, founder of the BDO, passed away today.

    He turned 90 only a few days ago.

    I don't think it really matters as you are not going to be able to see the board anyway.

    I'd probably go for the tables if available though at the same time.

    MOD NOTE: I've moved the BDO related posts from this thread to the BDO thread, it's easier for people to keep track of the utter disaster of the BDO if they are all in the one thread.

    Not surprising to see we're better organised here than the BDO.

    Oh, I know. But was wondering if there'd been murmurs.

    Keane Barry anyway surely?

    I reckon he's a certainty as he gets to enter for free due to his Development Tour ranking.

    Some real upsets so far Michael Smith gone Rob Cross gone some real talent coming through Woodhouse in particular looked good, It's great to see Irish darts going so well Teehan as very assured up on the big stage for the first time. On a side note Barney was an absolute disgrace and it's just as well he's retiring.

    I wonder will we see a change to the Premier League for 2020 ??

    Double start like the Grand Prix would make it a little more interesting

    Kinda irrelevant really. They have the potential to earn quite a bit more. Many people in "normal" jobs would have daily rates not far off 1200.

    I doubt Des is paying expenses so Mason would have to pay for travel, food and accommodation in London out of 400 quid. Wouldn't be left with much!

    The 1200 I was talking about. Nearly 10k for a week on the beer watching darts. Yes it is irrelevant really, just surprised it's that much.

    Errrrrmmm, hardly. Who the f does he think he is? I'm sure he knows more about the actual craic than anyone on here, yet 400 a day isn't good enough lol. Needs to realise his station is what I'm thinking, if what I'm reading here is any way true.

    £400 is really not very much taking expenses into account.

    In essence he is a private contractor/consultant not an employee. If he was an employee of the BDO i'd agree with you
