    Can't understand why at this level with 3 in hand the thrower doesn't go for a big 2 first
    with 10 left.
    Could have cost O'shea that last leg. We'll never know now

    Bye bye John. Done well to come back from 2 nil down and force a decider.

    Had every chance last set

    How can the acoustics of the walk-on music be so terrible in an actual concert venue.

    Just tuned in, crowd looks very small, any idea how many in there tonight?

    Where are they going to get the prize money from, ticket sales won’t cover it

    Thanks

    If that’s right can’t see how they will be able to pay the men’s winner 50k.

    There’ll be a couple of twists yet from the BDO

    It doesn't look good if this is the size of crowd they're getting for a Sunday evening session.

    Will there be anyone there for the midweek afternoon sessions??

    Jesus :(

    I grew up watching legends play darts at the Lakeside.

    The way the BDO is running it now is a travesty

    Only a guess on my part. May be more. But yeah, when you take into account total prizemoney they'll have to come up with about 200k somehow.

    With no sponsors and these crowds that’s just not possible

    I presume the venue takes the bar revenue?

    They have to pay the venue too, they're renting it out.

    And they want the pdc to showcase they're "talent" ha.

    Every single bdo tournament has a women's tournament aswell from youths up. As much equality as you can give them.

    That match had to be seen to be believed. Awful stuff, both players averaged south of 65.

    Not the only player who uses those kinds of darts in either Men's or ladies.
    Unusual but not that uncommon... Must be the shafts or points or something
