Plus, Adams is a fantastic sport and a great player.
The BDO doesn't
produce these players, the players choose to join the BDO, as this is the easiest option for players to enter the big time in the darting world.
As soon as they establish themselves they move on
ala Barney
The PDC maybe a Murdoch sponsored event, but that doesn't detract from the fact they have the better players. I love darts, and yet i couldn't be bothered to go 5 minutes down the road too watch the BDO lot when i used to live in Frimley Green, as it was always a non event. The only time i got fairly excited about the BDO was when Tom Ted Hanky got his 170 finish to win the title (great 3 darts)...
So can you guys stop saying the BDO is better, if you think Martin Adams could compete in the PDC, please produce the stats.......
I bet his 3 dart average is around 5-7 less than the the top ten guys in the PDC...
And i reckon his checkout percentage is about the same percentage less than the PDC guys...
Edit- "lets play darts"- How friggin corney is that, i wouldn't waste a fiver to go listen to the MC saying that, it would wind me up......
