Anyone been watching the WDF world championship this week

I have been watching it. One very obvious thing that they are doing is not trying to present the tournament as a PDC event and it is very much, best of order please.

a bit of a disaster with the broadcasting last night, hopefully this improves today

Had no idea it was on. Which channel is showing it?

I know the WDF has been around for a while but is this essentially the BDO back from the dead?

It's on Eurosport 2. Aye it's basically the new BDO which died off a couple of years ago. Nothing much has changed from what I've watched, it's been alright though.

I've just been reading about the BDO owners seizing the last winners' trophies and pissing everyone off big time. Bizarre stuff!

On Quest as well.

A mate of mine was down there on Saturday. Got his photo with Wolfie, which was his main reason for going. That and pitchers of Carlsberg and dry chicken and chips in a polystyrene box. Seemed to enjoy the Lakeside experience.

I've not watched a lot, but the Raman v Haines match the other night was fairly decent.

[DaveF]

Never heard of Brian Raman before but he was very handy tonight.

Great showing. His next match should be a cracker

[FifeHibs]

Been some decent games so far this week

Andy Baetens was immense last night with a 103 average. Good to see a sold out WDF event on the telly at the same time as the PDC on SKY. Won't miss Paul Nicholson's commentary over the next few days. Name dropping and pointless references to leading PDC players don't do this tournament justice.

Tricole v Menzies was a fantastic match up with the Frenchman prevailing 5-4 . Now plays Neil Duff in the final.
