    He's completely wrong.

    The BDO need to give up any pretence of being a professional competition ( the PDC have won that war ) and concentrate on being an amateur grassroots organisation.

    Didn't qualify.

    Might see him on BT doing the analysis.

    This is Channel 4 & BT final year of contract too. If it's not renewed I think that's the end of the BDO as we know it.

    So the excitement is nearly over. The BDO darts is finally upon us again (sarcasm, tongue in cheek) .......glen durrant looks the obvious favourite and has the proven class and ability but I think Noppert and Hughes might give him a run this year. Any thoughts ?

    Neither did Andy Fordham and he's put on about 10 stone again.

    The Count v The Viking, that game would need to be scheduled near a hospital :)

    The noise when the dart hits the board at lakeside is almost deffening, do they use a different board in the pdc?

    Yes it's a Winmau board rather than a Unicorn. Its the mic on the board rather than the board itself.

    Averages of 82 each, 1 180 , no.2 seed against a 3 time winner should be better than this

    McGeeney is apparently the form player. Jesus I'd hate to see the out of form player.

    Well he didn't laugh that much but apparently he's back practicing regularly and he's eating on a regular schedule again after he was sick.

    The 2500 quid Wolfie won at the 2016 PDC Grand Slam of Darts last 32, is the biggest cheque he has won in 3 years.

    Is like that every year. It's like they attach the board to a kick drum or something.

    I think he was more focused on overcoming prostate cancer and getting back to his best for the the best part of the last 2 years.

    Is it just me or does the camera angle make it look like the board is at a 45 degree angle
