Think it was the top 4 workd ranked + 4 PDC panel picks + 2 SKY picks. Apparently the ten that are in are the ten top ranked players so I've no complaints. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pesky1972 5,315 Posted January 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 will be bobby george with the gold , dare. was his thing when he played. used to come on stage with a crown on. king of bling lol. character he is. his boy plays too and isnt a bad player . I love watching darts but don't watch the BDO on the BBC. Sky and the PDC is streets ahead in terms of quality of player, presenters and pundits, production, atmosphere etc. It's like comparing the Premiership with Conference league football.

gnasher16 30,217 Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) He's ranked number 7 in the world and he's reigning world grand prix champion. Right ok fair enough i didnt know that. .Thornton was a wild card pick 6 are automatically in Hearn has two wild card picks and sky have two wild card pick Thornton was one of his think his other one was James waid. Gotcha thanks for explaining it Bob.......would his other pick not of been the lad Smith i dont think he,s been in it before. I love watching darts but don't watch the BDO on the BBC. Sky and the PDC is streets ahead in terms of quality of player, presenters and pundits, production, atmosphere etc. It's like comparing the Premiership with Conference league football. Im the same its probably similar to how full on football fans will readily watch lower league football or full on boxing fans will watch small hall fights but folk with just a passing interest will only watch the very top level ........ im not a massive darts fan so would only watch the PDC but im sure hardcore fans would watch local league games in the pub as well as the major tournaments .....makes sense i suppose.
