Sincere thanks to all 32 players and all BDO officials for a wonderful nine days. Roll on 2011.
The look back through the years there during the break of the final really hammered home why the BDO is better than any other rival brand. No matter how much more money is on offer you cannot buy tradition, heritage and honour. I can’t wait for next year already - What will happen? Who will win? Will one of the qualifiers go on a storming run? So many questions, so few answers.
Terrific final. As I suspected beforehand Chizzy fell short. He was the star of the week and is the future superstat of Darts. Just a bit too early though to be facing the experience, nous and craft of the Captain of England on the biggest stage of all.
Adams is a cunt.
You’re glad this is over Flano. There is a lot of pent up frustration & anger released with that last post.
It won’t be over until he howls his last howl.
That won’t happen for a long time. The England captain just keeps getting better with age.
A magnificent tournament this year - probably the greatest one of all time.
Well done to Martin Adams on entering Lakeside folklore but Chizzy lost nothing in defeat - he was the story of the week and, but for a couple of crucial mixed doubles, he could conceivably won the title himself.
It would also be remiss of me not to pay tribute to Olly Croft - none of this would be possible without the legendary administrator.
