There are only 12 PDC weekends, all in the UK bar one (in ireland) where you travel to with the chance of winning nothing, you only travel to the other events if you have qualified for them and you a guaranteed at least a grand for doing so. And anyone living within an hour of Crawley, Barnsley, Wigan etc.. will not be spending money at all on hotels some weekends.
Where on earth have you pulled the figure of £25k from? ![]() These days promotors will be paying for travel/entries for some players, in a return for a cut from exbos. Some take as much as 50% (Modus/MDA). Players travel on both sides of the divide, lest we forget. I echo a previous posters sentiments about Waites, the moment for him switching has passed, never built on his momentum after winning the Worlds and the Slam. |

I still dont see how you get anywhere near a figure of £25k for the full tour. In any case, surely any BDO top player should be backing himself to earn it back and more. Look at what Norris has achieved in his first year, in one year in the PDC he is only £14k shy of the entire career earnings of Glen Durrant!
Of course, its not for everyone, as most will sink without trace (look at Hankey for example) |

Further to the above, I asked Chris Mason on twitter and he said between 10 and 15 grand a year now most qualifiers are in UK

Yeah looking forward to Phillips V Hankey, think Martin is too canny to fall for any of Teds nonsense but we shall see!
Tony on the womens game again looks like you're right Darren they're putting him on the matches where he can cause least damage

Playing dire stuff. He's going to blow up with someone or over something soon that's his usual way of trying to pump himself up.

I know that we'd all like to see the old Ted Hankey back and he is the bigger name but can't the tv crew give Martin Phillips any respect at all?

Im sorry but this match looked suspicious as Ted Hankey looked like he lost that match on purpose i know i could be wrong but the way he was playing definitely looked dodgy What do you guys think

Pretty poor night of darts. Not been great all round in honesty; Waites looking something like what he used to be has been the high point so far. Unfortunate that the draw has got him and Durrant possibly against each other in the next round.

The BBC in their late night highlights show are showing matches which I already saw this afternoon - I want to see the untelevised evening matches.

Rather Ted had an off day - a very off day indeed. Well done to Martin Phillips. |

Ted Hankey is an utter embarrassment. Cant seem to win a darts match by playing normally these days and has to try and resort to dragging his opponent down to a level so pathetic it is almost too bad for television.
As for Montgomery, there is a glorious clip on Vimeo of him storming out of the players bar with his coat ![]() EDIT - here it is, https://vimeo.com/150721897 |
