    A nonchalant flick of the V's there from Waites at Hankey?

    If you see it again when Waites walks away from the board after winning Hankeys backs turned and Waites flicks what looks like a V.:cool:

    Waites is going to the PDC after this I bet on it. Such a poor standard of darts and production the BDO product is. The better Barry Hearn buys it and unifies the world of darts the better.

    Think the BDO turned down Hearns offer last year. Standard in the BDO isnt as high although Waites looks a really good player. Won the Grand Slam of Darts in 2010 defeating James Wade...

    They did but the county darts overwhelmingly asked the BDO to reconsider the offer.

    Heard the commentator on sky say last night that the first year of the PDC champion ships after the spilt, the gate receipts were around 3k. This year they are over a million.

    Hahahah "The longest ever captain in a sport"...

    Im not really into the BDO Darts, but its been on the past few days so ive thrown it on, and any time he has been on he hasnt come across very well in my opinion.Seems abit too cocky for my Liking.I wonder has the womens final been on, as thats usually a good game too..

    I watched the semifinal last night, the average was 80 in it which is way below the level of the PDC. I was surprised at the difference

    yeah but in fairness the best players always leave and go across so its not that surprising.

    Seen a stat there that Adam's tournament ave is 91. He wouldn't get past 1st round of pdc. I read that PDC has made a bid to buy out BDO, would be good to reunite the darts.

    The difference is fairly shocking been honest.Its just completely different..After most games you hear the players complaining about the heat up on stage.If the BDO cant even orgainise a proper Air Conditiioning system because of the lights how do they expect their players to reach their full potential.

    Ive always preferred the PDC and i always will.Its just something which has been on, and ive been keeping a eye on it.
