Monzanator 3,613 Posted November 7, 2020 #751 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Other than Waites & Harms I don't know anyone who over-extended their BDO stay. I have some Ted Hankey flashes from years gone by but he fizzled out in PDC rather fast IIRC. I suppose PDC has some Q-schools in place but the turnover value will be high. I guess those traditional UK sports like snooker or darts were forced to go international in wake of the tobacco advertising ban? Embassy used to sponsor both darts & snooker and I have no clue where they get their money from these days (other than betting sites). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But still, he is probably not in your top 10-15 favorites for a Major trophy. Let's see if this amazing performance can solidify him, as a top contender.

Federer91 2,196 Posted July 18, 2021 #760 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Been a while, since i've watched darts, so looking forward to the Matchplay. Nice few nights, before we get into the Olympics craze-fest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
