holmyster

Anyone going to the darts in Blackpool?

Has anyone been before? Is there any interesting things to do around Blackpool during the day?

Heading for the week and can't wait.

The Pleasure Beach amusement park is just down the road. It's great fun and has very little queues. make sure you try out the Pepsi max, the Grand National and the Mighty Mouse. There is loads to do in Blackpool, always something on.

I was beginning to say to myself Co Stompe has not turned up until he hit the 97 check-out. C'mon Co!

ratinakeg

Adrian Lewis 10 - 7 Co Stompe

Good game to start the night, both players started off a bit slow but turned out to be a an entertaining game.

ratinakeg

Colin Lloyd 10 - 7 Wayne Jones

Poor match!:( Jones was shocking on his doubles apart from the 121 check out on the bull! Lloyd will get knocked out next round if he plays like that again.

Lloyd had swine flu, fair play to him for getting over it.

very poor showing by both players, don't think Jones is a TV player and Llyod was very iffy. forgettable match in my eyes

your right mate, fair play to him for getting over it, nobody stronger then a dart player looking to get payed:D:D:D

Wayne Jones was in terrific form last week in the Midland Open, thats why I picked him to beat Lloyd

This match is crap!:( Could be the first upset of the tournament.

King looks like he has swine flu.

He has an abscess on his tooth and Dudbridge has a sore shoulder and neck, the match should be held in a casualty ward!

I tipped Jones as well because he has been in terrific form on the floor all year. He has just never done it on the TV since getting to the semi-finals of the Worlds a few years ago. He is a great player but needs to focus on bringing that game onto the big stages.

Wasn't a great night for quality but there were decent enough matches, the last one being the best. Dudbridge will be kicking himself, he kept letting King back into the game and really should have won.

Tonights Matches:

There are two sessions on Wednesday and Thursday, might be only 3 matches in each of them sessions.

Pain in the balls having matches on during the afternoon because I'll prob miss them when I'm in work.

Unless Bet365 stream them then I am in business

i agree with your picks clive although Mardle and Eccles is a very tight one. Hopefully Thornton can put up some kind of a fight against Taylor.

It should be on this site aswell;

Jaysus Helen Chamberlain is looking very old but I'd still give her one!:D:D

Painter is on fire here with his new darts, best I've probably ever seen him play! Good leg by Newton just there!

Osborne was rubbish,Beaton scored well but cant see him going far

Spot on Clive! My bet is fecked now, I'll never bet on Osborne again!:mad:

Sid is getting the tongue in already!:mad:

How is Tony Eccles number 29 in the rankings?:eek: Rubbish is the only word to describe his performance tonight! See if I was playing Mardle and he was jumping around while I was taking my shot I'd turn around and level the idiot, I've no respect for him whatsoever nowadays!

Double Top

the stand out players so far, painter (all round great, best i have seen him) and lewis (scoring well but finishing brilliant)

did taylor change his darts or just a different colour

osbourne,thornton and jones very disappointing
