    A private contractor for ~£1000 a day seems ball-park to me.
    It's what you'd be paying your accountant or your plumber.

    £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

    I wish I get £400 a day!! Get the bus, ham sammich, bottle of fizz. At least £300 in my hand. Sweet. He needs to catch himself the feck on.

    Well it's just Mason kicking up a fuss, other commentators seem ok. Mason was also the one to let everyone know on twitter. The mans just a drama queen always looking for attention then cries when he gets it.

    Maybe,....a case of judging the poster than the post. Would have thought it was worthy of a discussion in a darts general chat thread.


    seemingly not.

    Yeah, except this doesn't happen only in the general chat thread.

    I'd also rather not to be reminded that Adrian Lewis carries a few extra few pounds or frankly disgusting comments about Dave Clarke and Kevin McDine and others on a daily basis either.

    The so called bdo "fanatic" those fans who claim to be fanatics yet wont buy a ticket to attend bdo events are crying on their fanatic sites over Sherrock saying her priority is returning to Ally Pally next year and PDC q-school.


    Her failure to mention the bdo rubbish has them seething with some saying she should withdraw :D

    Remember some poster got laughed out of it on the world champs thread for suggesting she'd get a place..

    I can see why hardcore fans may not like this, but the PDC and sky are absolutely laughing all the way to the bank with the publicity she has brought and will continue to bring. It's a complete no brainer in a business sense. $$$ talks

    I was in a crowded pub last Saturday and everyone was glued to her match. She's been all over the internet and TV the past week or so.

    I'd say her phone is absolutely blowing up for reality TV, chat show interviews, appearances etc etc

    No idea. She's as marketable as a bloody love island contestant nowadays :D

    Pity for her she's just a few months late for Strictly and I'm a celeb but I'm sure she'll still get a call next year
