I watch the bdo annually but alas this year is very poor presentation wise. It does feel like it's coming to the end of its life

It's getting to the point where so many people have left that I'm trying to count the crowd when the camera switches to the view from behind the board. Potentially less than 50 spectators still in the venue with a good chunk of this match still to be played.

Hogan is actually a player who could have been much better than he has been over the years

There's another match still to be played after this one, going to be a bleak crowd.

I see a woman going around clearing the empty tables etc

Cosmo Kramer

****s sake that wasn't even the last match! Have to feel for the two players coming out to play now.

Hogan on his day is a right good player.

He'd be a danger to most of the top players in the early rounds of Ally Pally even.

Be funny if someone fkd up the intro music and "ghost town" came on for the nxt one

Kleermaker takes the first set against Colin Murray lookalike

I,ve seen more people in the local bingo hall.

I was trying to count them myself and including in the background which was pretty dark
i'd say upwards on 90. A travesty

And if it is, what an undignified end, but it's a mess entirely of their own making. The BDO could give a masterclass on how to fcuk up a good thing.

A quick look at the available tickets for tomorrow and it looks like it will be a ghost town. Surely they'd be better off charging a fiver in and running drinks promotions for the rest of this to atleast have them save a bit of face?

Was looking at tickets for tonight's session. They're charging between 36 and 60 pounds as an entrance fee, which is crazy money for the standard of darts on show.

There looks to be a decent crowd at it today.
Dplay app works grand for anyone interested, I thought it would be geo restricted.

Good game there.
A rather comical moment there near the end where the English bloke who seemed to be about 5 foot nothing bent down to pick a dart from the floor and yer man threw over his head 🀔
Maybe cos even if he was standing straight up he wouldn't have hit him

alan partridge aha

Is that Hood chap a Down Syndrome person?

alan partridge aha

The way the comms are talking there must be something alright. Fairplay to him.

They seemed to have closed off the 'friends & family' area to the right of the walk on and have lumped them into the regular crowd area to make it look less empty.

Wonder if they'll do it again for the evening session?

This game hard to watch.

Christ, Hamilton on the doubles is horrific.

Terrible stuff here..nice to see the ref tell the crowd not to shout out while the players are throwing.

robman60

This completely. I'm living in London and thought they'd be around £15. A joke what they're charging. If they had any sense they'd drop the prices to the floor just to generate a bit of atmosphere.

Crowds are better than I expected after last night in fairness.
