just wondering what the difference is between the world championship that was on sky last week and the world championship that also started last week and is currently on BBC2.

 

Different lager?

 

pmsl

 

Different Sponsorship I think

 

I asked this question last week.

The Sky one is the Professional Darts Organisation (or something like that) which is the breakaway group formed around 12 years ago. It like boxing that they have more than one governing body now. You have to be called Phil Taylor to win it

The BBC one of course is the lesser one and this one has a minimum weight for competitors of 20 stone. The Super Duper Fat B@stard Category is headed by Andy Fordham who must be twice that size.

 

lol
Yeah but Andy Fordham has a fitness trainer

 

I'm still trying to decide if being Andy Fordhams fitness trainer is either the world's worst or best job. ie do you try hard or just give up?

 

he was sweating just holding them little darts, so whats he like when his trainer gets him using something heavier like a tin of tuna

 

Well he just beat Barny to be in the final tomorrow

 

Fordham was awesome tonight in the end.Losing all the way, and he pulled it out at the end. Sad to say but was on the edge of my chair at the end, reminded me of Bristow and Jockey etc.

 

Great match by the fat bloke Fordham and good news for all Taylor fans,hes not retiring now

Btw the PDC Championship was on Sky and is regarded having the best players and BDO is on BBC at the mo and they are the original darts organisation formed way back.

 

Darts is actually very good specator sport. At uni it was superb fun. Bellowing until you;re hoarse inches from some guy trying to finish . Needless to say I've alos been pretty ****e but I do have a board in the garage and have had a few very late ones with my neighbour playing darts and drinking into the wee hours

Deano

 

Which one does John Lowe and Eric Bristow play in these days?

Pete

 

They play the Circuit
Go to clubs and do venues and both are still good players

 

cheers for the answers

eric bristow worked behind the scenes as a counter for sky sports last week.

 

MODS!, whats the thinking behind moving this to 'sports forum'??!

 

It just doesn't have the entertainment value now they cannot drink and smoke on stage
