    sounds like there's only about 50 people there today. Interesting to see how many people will be there on a Monday afternoon

    Looking forward to seeing Lieghton Bennet and Beau Greeves especially. Other than them I probably wont watch a single game for the first time in 20 years.

    How?

    I've no interest atall in watching crappy production, cameras missing all 3 darts, 3 people atmosphere an commentary trying to talk it up.

    I'm very interested to see those two players play tho so I will watch their games.

    Itll be the first time in 20 years I havnt watched every game.

    3 - 1 to the German. Showed far better composure than the higher scoring
    Mandigers.

    Be something to look forward to alright.
    Might even drag a few in for free off the street.
    Could make for some entertainment and possibly not so
    much "best of order" :p

    Hedman - Turner due on at 8.
    Wonder will it be on telly.

    If Rawling or Nicholson are on comms guaranteed at least one of them won't be able to believe she's 60, yes she's actually 60.

    Well ye bloody well knew she was 59 last year.... :rolleyes:

    I like making predictions on here, part of the fun :P :)

    Think Deta wins it and after her next match she's on
    comms.

    Also wonder could Turner get on comms at some stage or is she not allowed to
    on account of being on the pdc punditry/comms squad.

    All part and parcel and it adds to my viewing entertainment.

    Seems to be an okay crowd there today from what I can see. Not too many
    empty seats best as I can make out.

    Agreed, it should include male players. The likes of John Henderson and Adrian Lewis amongst others get a battering from certain poster(s) here.


    In fairness though, their physical state can have a lot to do with their results, paticularly over the longer matches and where they play multiple matches on one day.

    Peter Wright actually said in one of his post match interviews at the worlds that at the grand slam he did not eat properly and that affected his form and that was something he was looking to change going forward.

    Look no one is expecting them all to be built like Gerwyn Price but in Adrian Lewis case his alarming dip in form does seem to have coincided with his large weight gain.

    Most of the comments made are not done constructively as you have done though. But in a derogatory fashion.

    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

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

    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??

    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.
