Everyone else is 50+

I don’t think they’ll win it but Fajardo is 200/1 and Ouchi is 125. Isn’t Ouchi meant to be decent?
Those prices are both really good.

I think Fajardo and Ouchi are roughly on the level of a Winstanley/Turner/Hutchinson. Possibly a bit better but they have less experience.

From my sources

Johnny Bryant is doing a lot of comms, Mitchell is doing it and the start and end of the tournament. Edgar turned it down. Others to be decided but its not going to be stellar

I just don't think they have the money to hire established commentators like Masons and Rawlings. They are relying on love of the game and younger guys looking for a break. Which in itself could be quite refreshing but undeniably a bit tinpot.

Considering its streamed and on minor TV. I suspected the likes of Mason, Rawlings etc. wont touch it. WDF used Andrew Sinclair for the Irish Open so i suspect he will do some as well,

At least all those weird referees are gone now

Rolls, Dundas and Meijer give Lakeside that familiarity of solid days of Durrant, Noppert, Yozza etc.

Dundas is MC now. One of the 2020 lot is involved. But it was a failure especially the lass she was out of her depth

At this point I actually miss Duzza-era BDO. Not only for the laughs, but also because at least they had events on proper TV.

It was a good era (Ok not a golden one lol) but PDC's era then was better then now

Darts peaked during that period IMO

4 BDO Events were on TV. I actually want them days to comeback but it wont

Darts was far more fun between 2015-2020, especially off the board.

People I know who watched Lakeside on CH4 and BBC had no idea that the WDF Worlds even happened last year. No chance that this year's event will crop up on their radar.

Kerrie Crompton. Way too many errors.

I like Dundas. A good all-round MC, referee and commentator.
