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

Cosmo Kramer · 05-01-2020 09:48PM

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.

sc86 · 05-01-2020 09:50PM

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

ArmaniJeanss · 05-01-2020 09:56PM

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

bassy · 05-01-2020 09:57PM

I see a woman going around clearing the empty tables etc

Cosmo Kramer · 05-01-2020 10:02PM

****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.

Kleermaker takes the first set against Colin Murray lookalike

bassy · 05-01-2020 10:30PM

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.

boomdocker · 06-01-2020 02:02PM

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 ðŸ€”
Maybe cos even if he was standing straight up he wouldn't have hit him

Is that Hood chap a Down Syndrome person?

alan partridge aha · 06-01-2020 04:54PM

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?

celt262 · 06-01-2020 07:42PM

This game hard to watch.

Johner · 06-01-2020 07:45PM

Christ, Hamilton on the doubles is horrific.

MOD NOTE: Don't post in this thread again.

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

robman60 · 06-01-2020 08:07PM

Can someone send me a stream link for the games on at the moment please? Cheers

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.

Will I Am Not · 06-01-2020 08:10PM

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