After this years GSOD, it was quite clear that Ted was more than sympathetic towards the PDC, and he put in some decent performance there - seems to raise his game when on a bigger stage, I can't blame him for lacking motivation in the BDO. He'd certainly sell more tickets than Painter. I agree to an extent about Waites however.
I agree. He would sell more tickets than Painter. And I agree about the BDO seedings, I would more than welcome Ted Hankey in the PDC, because at the end of the day he is a character. He'd be the new Peter Manley. And that's what darts needs.
His stock goes up even more after tonight, Waites yet again flattering to decieve at the Lakeside with just an 86 average.
And Winstanley loses to Alan Norris. The draw has opened up wide for Adams, again

Why might he have just had a meltdown? Because he's coming to the PDC, it's all been confirmed practically. He apparently refused to sign the restrictive contract all BDO semi-finalists have to sign, saying they'll be back next year. He was refusing to play his semi-final until the BDO buckled, and realised they needed him.

I can't see him coping too well with the more raucous atmospheres that he'll encounter in the PDC to be honest never mind the far superior standard of darts. The way he was wingeing about the crowd, a supposed breeze and then chucking his darts anywhere in the board after he was broken in the final set was ridiculous.

I agree, he acted like a big kid that wasn't getting his way. He could have won that game, but acted like a drama queen.

Same here, It doesn't take much to wind him up , The PDC mob will be at him from the off.
