Olly Croft offered new role at BDO #darts


Incoming BDO chairman Barry Gilbey claims in a new interview with Darts! Monthly that we may not have seen the last of its creator Olly Croft within the organisation.

Gilbey suggests that the man who helped popularise the game in the 1970s has been offered a new role as figurehead of BDO – the lifetime president. It is not yet known if the previous BDO chairman is going to consider this new role.

We are delighted to welcome reigning World Champion Adrian Lewis to the Target Darts family.

The World Champion was thrilled to be joining the Target Darts player roster saying:

That ultimately made my decision to sign with the company a very straightforward one”.

“Adrian is one of the hottest properties in the darts world, and his signature sends out a very positive message regarding our standing in the professional game. It also gives the quality of our products a huge seal of approval. It is a great honour that the World Champion would choose to sign with us, and the next three years promises to be an exciting time for both Target Darts and Adrian Lewis”.

The European Championships Aug. 3, 2011 Dartoids World Article #darts

Greetings!

Today, with his column The European Championships, the Old Dart Coach contemplates the return to the predictable "order" of life at the upper echelons of the darting world:

There is supposed to be “order” in the world. While people may not like it, gripe about it or approve of it they are comfortable and somewhat accepting. When that order is disturbed there is a malady that hangs over the populace.

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Okay, good idea. Clowns are elected to public office, spend every penny the government collects, then raise taxes for more money, blame the taxpayer for not paying enough and then said clowns are expected to solve the problem they caused.

Aug. 1, 2011 Dartoids World Article #darts

Darts ain’t an Olympic shoo-in – there’s (plastic) competition!

They call him the “Dragon” and he’s a former world champion. He has basked in the glory of his ‘sport,’ one that some describe as “just the right mix of skill and intellect.” Growing older and with a family, he is still highly regarded, puts in the practice and travels frequently in his quest to add another world championship to his resume. And he’s currently one of the most well known and popular promoters of his game.

But who is the Dragon? And with recent rumblings of a push to see his ‘sport’ added as a demonstration activity at the 2012 London Olympics one must also ask: Why the hell is the Olympics in London?

Was Toledo booked?
