The BDO on Eurosport recently seems better than the coverage the BBC had in the new year. They seem to have mixed the audience noise up a bit.
The location was no where near as good of course but it was lively. They need some life in a darts crowd not the silence of a snooker crowd. You can leave the "louts" to the PDC (which is good, I like the noise & the louts but its their thing, don't copy it for the sake of it).
Darts is played in pubs, so a bit of noise should be ok for the players! It needs a lively image.
Cameron Menzies is the funniest darts player I have ever seen. Watching him play in the 6 nations it was like every dart he missed was life or death. I'm sure one of his team mates gave him a talking to as his attitude on the oche was terrible. I don't think we will be seeing him again anytime soon.

Yeah, and not for his on-stage antics either...
On a totally unrelated matter, I have been looking at flights to Columbia.

Comments
Think their the only 2 by the looks of it...Olly Croft has one but obviously not a player.
Finals are
England v Wales..Ladies
England v Netherlands..Mens
Definitely the strongest teams in it
I am plumping for an England/Netherlands double.
Yeah.Both Ladies won their semis 5-0.
England men won comfortably but Dutch only won 13-10 from 9-10 down.
Of course Phil Taylor was due to receive the MBE but never got round to being awarded it for some reason or other.

Seemed a better atmosphere on that video than the atmosphere and presentation at the tournament the other day

He did receive a MBE but it was annulled after he was found guilty of indecent assault on two 23 year old women.

Are the BDO now thinking of getting more Eurosport coverage overall?
I wouldn't have thought so. Eurosport showed quite a bit of BDO darts last year. The BBC only showed the Worlds.
