No surprise his form since losing the PDC final to Lewis several years back took an awful plunge,would love to see him do well if even at such a lower level of darts.
Thatâs no harm. Canât stand Hamilton. He might do ok in the low level of the bdo though.
As of tonight you can still get tickets for the final. Was thinking of tipping over.

Andy Hamilton is a superb signing for us.
Itâs going to be some battle between him and Ted Hankey to settle once and for the question of who is Stokeâs top player.
But I can already give you the answer to that question. Itâs Ted.
Sad news for BDO fans on the other hand that Tony OâShea has decided to drop down to the exhibition circuit of the pdc.

Will you wear a costume?
Terrible news for James Hurrell. Get well soon.
Good luck to his replacement Richey Edwards. After 23 years missing, what a way to return.
Looking forward to your preview of the premier world darts tournament mate!
I see that Rob Cross, who unsuccessfully tried to qualify for the BDO World Championships in 2016, went to âAlly Pallyâ and destroyed Philâs Darts Club a mere 2 years later. You couldnât make it up.

A great day in prospect tomorrow if youâre anywhere within striking distance of Teesside.
The World Champion will be taking entries and making the draw for the competition - what a guy.
The BDO family extends its sympathies and condolences to the family and friends of former pdc Master of Ceremonies Phil Jones, who has gone to join the great Martin Fitzmaurice behind the great microphone in the sky*.
*Not a reference to Sky Sports.
Roll up, roll up.
Ye Olde World Darts Championship is here again.

This shite is now on Quest TV Sky channel 144, running out of stations willing to show it.
I saw bits and pieces of the sky one this year⌠The standard seemed very poor. Lads barely averaging over 90.
Quest is the furture of sports broadcasting.
Outstanding foresight from the extremely business savvy BDO top brass.
And then of course thereâs Eurosport, the greatest sports network in the world who have broken the bank to secure rights for this yearâs tournament, and all BDO majors.
GAME ON!

As an added bonus, Eurosportâs score caption is blurred, so viewers have to guess how many sets and legs each player has won if theyâre just tuning in - this only adds to the excitement.

The pressure of Lakeside clearly getting to these two darting warriors.
Geezer closes out the deciding leg of set 1 in superbly professional fashion - going out in 20 darts, although he was lucky Derk missed three darts to take the set - an inch lower on that double 2 and it would have gone in.
Wow. Derk took out a 145 outshot and now heâs taken out 119.
This is an astonishing standard.
