Roland Scholten about Corey Cadby: "Yeah he doesn't just use it to urinate" (when the conversation went to 21-year old Cadby's 4 children) 

 

What and what??  Yikes! 

Cadby has 4 children?

Well to be fair: 2 step children and 2 of his own children  

 

The Dutch reporter in London when Cadby said it during the interview: "Oh you've been busy!".....Cadby: "Yeah very busy mate"

Last year I was in Austria somewhere during the championships and they did have live coverage on one of their paid sports channels (and that was before Mensur Suljovic made his real breakthrough this year). I think there's a decent amount of interest in Germany as well, at least the tournaments being played there are popular. Kim Huybrechts should be making it somewhat popular in Belgium too. 

 

In Asia I think the whole soft tip thing is way bigger. It's also rather weird and it results in 'dumb' players, since there the computer does all the calculating and they play 3-4 different kind of games (not only 501, but also a kind where the bulls eye is the main thing for example). 

 

By the way, tickets for next year's Rotterdam Premier League event (in a stadium which fits around 10.000 people) were sold out in 14 minutes two months ago  Tickets for the tables were gone in 4 minutes, 10 minutes later all grandstand tickets were gone as well.

Van Gerwen in the Dutch TV studio today (with Van der Voort), and man, he is MAD about not being nominated for "Sportsman of the Year"  

 

"What more do they want me to win??"

 

How about the World Championships..
