As different as the BDO and PDC are, I always saw BDO as family friendly and exposure to more overseas players outside of Europe. Sad state of affairs the way BDO have found themselves. Their demise will cut off opportunity for a lot of players. Lest we forget women players were only in the BDO and it's a long road before many of them cross over. Really hope the BDO get in order or someone can take over. There will not be another organisation to match PDC but an alternative is always nice. Like Premier League, First Division, Championship etc.

Question: Why the underlying bitter hatred towards the BDO from so many people? I haven't been around the game long enough and in North America we never get the full story. I understand there was an acrimonious split in the early 90s that resulted in the PDC becoming the "higher level" and richer league, but from some of the videos, these guys really and truly hate each other - not just sports banter. Is it just because of the split? Or is there more to the story? Though I'm happy that the BDO folded. There ought to be a singular 'world championship' for all sports, darts included. It feels so watered down when they introduce former Lakeside champions - it almost sounds like a champion with an asterisk.

You can earn more going on an episode of bullseye than you can in BDO! Shame the original organisation aint been able to move with the times. TBH its been a loosing battle since the players to control from BDO at the birth of the PDC years ago. The owner's need to get someone in to take over promotions and admit they are not big enough for the job! Also they really missed Duzza this year he was there biggest draw by far! Hope they can turn it round though, BDO is the original I do not want to see it dwindle away. Changing the subject completely, I have to say I didn't like the look of them Gladiator 180 boards they used this year. Winmau is the only board that comes close to the Unicorn ones of the modern day.

It's obviously a mess, and perhaps is the death knoll of the BDO. I hope not. Irrespective of the problems now, for the sake of darts, throwing the baby out with the bath water IMO will be a mistake. Any sport must have a large base of players at "all" levels so that the sport can be played to extremely high standards at the top. What the BDO has historically facilitated is that base, and the changes, that everyone agrees are necessary, must have the larger picture as a focus.
