I alwwyas find this a let down after watching the real championship in the original home of darts.

Bit like having sex with halle berry then being reduced to a snog from hilda odgen...........

[POL]

Deta Hedman top seed for the women's, looking forward to seeing Triona Gulliver, she always ups her game for the lakeside, then of course, who wouldn't at the home of darts

[Lapsy Pa]

Really tops christmas off in my view

[elwood blues]

you should have put BDO in the title, now people will open this looking for the real thing.

[KD Langer]

here POL how about a little bet to make it interesting?

i'll pick a player foir the PDC event, you pick one for the BDO event, whoever goes further wins?

if it's a draw no bet.

loser takes a month off the SF.

Incredible match between Wolfie and Scott Waites in the semi-final, went right down to the final leg. Great final bewteen Waites and Fitton too. Good to see Fitton back in form.

I can't wait for the big one. Bring it on.

Its the perfect antidote to those post-christmas blues.
