Grand Slam of Darts

[crodonilson]

Anyone else looking forward to this on ITV over the next week??

The Grand Slam of Darts pits the superstars of the two codes of darts together in a collosal encounter and something must give.

The force of the BDO goes head to head against the might of the PDC in the bearpit that is the Wolverhampton Civic Hall as these tungsten gladiators give their all for themselves and there code, but there can only be one ultimate winner.....

Completely one sided event. Pro dart players v pub wannabees

Will be embarrassing for BDO. They are terrible compared with PDC. Pointless competition.

 

[Sheebo]

Yeh really looking forward to it as it's on ITV4...

I know a couple of the Sussex boys on the PDC tour and unfortunately neither qualified for it

Last year the quarter finals consisted of four BDO and four PDC.

There is some high quality in the BDO, write it off at your peril.

You struggle when The 3 cups play the POW so good luck

Yep, totally looking forward to it. Will be interesting to see whether anyone can make a charge for a Premier League place; with Klaasen not in it Gary Anderson could do his chances a power of good.

Re the BDO - Ted Hankey has a great draw and if his head's right should win his group with Whitlock, Mardle and Waites.

'The Dreamboy' has done well the last two occasions at the Grand Slam. I think he can go along way, the group format should dicate that the best players make it to the knockout phase, and so long as you don't draw Taylor you've got a chance against anyone!

When he needed to beat his good mate fitton 5-3 and suprise suprise beat him 5-3 (fitton had already qualified)...imo he'll struggle as a pdc member

Beaton @ 66/1 a fair e/w poke as in the form of his career!

'The Adonis'



Definitely will be a crowd favourite next week!

 

[Pavilionaire]

The Adonis sold a load of his stuff on eBay a couple of years ago, I've got all sorts of his stuff - darts, international pennants, a personalised wooden darts box - and it's great to see him back to his best.

 

[Sheebo]

I saw Beaton get beat by ANASTACIA at a PDC Floor event in Essex - Now he's in the form of his life- unreal how form changes in darts...

f***ing hilarious..the guvnor of the PDC wanted the Albion to be ejected from the league after a pitch invasion v Leyton Orient a few years back..lovely man

 

[Billy the Fish]

Was a decent spectacle last year. I couldn't give a shit who is BDO or PDC, darts is the winner

 

[BrightonBiatch]

cant wait got rid of my daughter so got the telly and after last wks X factor something decent will be on!!

 

[crodonilson]

Fantastic tournament so far, except for a dreadful rowdy audience, Ted Hankey king of the BDO was getting dogs abuse.

I had a small wager on Hankey to beat Mardle and most of the crowd were being complete nobs all throughout the match trying to put him off.It affected both players.Hankey's finishing was awful but Mardle had no consistency with his 3 darts.

At the end i thought Hankey was very restrained towards the crowd.I would have done a Mike Bassett(the bit where he listened to the criticism of his tactics before getting on the coach)-told them to f*** off and legged it as fast as i could! But he's got a few more matches to play in this tournament still in front of that crowd.
