Yeah, they're not cheap. Tried to expand, bumped prices up to try and cover it and failed miserably. It was fine where it was at the Lakeside.

Fallon Sherrock's pulled out of the women's event. It won't surprise me if the entire BDO operation collapses before the tournament starts.
Seems Price has backed down a bit, deleted his tweet from last night and put something else up instead. Although he still can't help himself bringing up "what Peter did" multiple times which makes you wonder just how sincere he really is versus him or his sponsors/manager feeling he has to back down a bit having seen all the negative press this morning.
"I'm still new to this and still learning" cracked me up a bit though, do me a favour pal you've been getting involved with the likes of Lewis, Whitlock, Anderson for years.

I'be struggled to watch the below par BDO WC in the past, but the Lakeside Barnard certain atmosphere which helped.
Not going to bother watching it now it's at the O2.
Think the BDO may as well just fold up and call it a day.

Don’t blame Fallon at all for pulling out. She’s got a brand now. Why risk damaging it by losing unexpectedly to a weaker player for a measly winners prize of £12k. She’s just won more than double that for winning two matches.
In a way, I have a bit of a soft spot for the BDO as it supported darts to the lowest level. I used to play league matches on a Tuesday night and if you were good enough, you could play in the Superleague. In that if your average was good enough, you could be invited to play for your county. From there you might have been picked to play for England, and you'd enter BDO events with rankings points and prize money.
It's a bit of a shame all of that seems like it's going to disappear. The PDC is 100% amount money and Barry Hearn's ability to promote.

Spot of dual viewing tonight...darts on the big screen and Arsenal v Man Utd on the tablet.
Same here, more interested in the darts though.
Predictions?
I'm going for a shock - Wright 7-5.

Wtf...I checked the Skysports PDC site and it said the final started at eight!
Missed the first set godammit.
Hoping Wrighty can win...7-5.

MVG wakes up and makes it 2-2. Wright misses a dart for a 3-1 lead. Those are the darts you HAVE to hit against MVG.
Wright back in front, 3-2. Very good standard so far.
Easier said than done! Wright's the king of bottlejobs, you'd expect that's one of the reasons - worrying too much about the score.
Looking likely for 4-2 to Wright here.
