Hi Guys
I thought the BDO World Championship 2017 has been fantastic this year.
The event had it all, the BDO veterans doing well, shock upsets, a first time Lakesider getting to the final, epic comebacks and a deserving winner!
You couldn't ask for more and whilst i did enjoy the PDC world championship this year, especially the epic Barney vs MVG and the final with MVG vs Gary Anderson, i found myself more into the BDO final, maybe because of the different players on show, the new coverage by Channel 4 and also the respectfulness of the crowd (when 9 darters are narrowly missed the BDO crowd applaud the attempt, the PDC crowd boo!)
I think all involved have alot to be proud of and despite a few technical issues Channel 4's coverage in my opinion was excellent, and i hope the ratings reflect this as i think darts SHOULD be on terrestrial television.
It was great to see Wolfie, despite his recent health issues make the Quarter Finals and engage in an absolute thriller with Jamie Hughes and has Fitton ever played better at the Worlds??
Im also pleased that long-time BDO loyalist (from virtually day 1) Bobby George has still been given his rightful place on BDO coverage as it wouldn't be the same without him!
So lets look forward to BDO darts in 2017 and i hope Channel 4 pick up some other BDO events!
Take care
Luke
