`Where are all the players went to. As BBC is not showing everything anymore and since they cut off there Telefax pages it`s not so easy anymore to follow it. Just seen some parts of it and I missed players like Collin Monk Andy Fordham and others.
BTW are the old players like Eric Bristow Jockey Wilson Les Wallace etc stopped or are they playing in other leagues.

You like your darts then beuk!
BBC 2 is showing 3hrs each afternoon this week from 1 30-4 30pm and you can find the results on this link in dutch http://www.darts-import.nl/dic/embassy/index2.html
Andy Fordham was beaten in the first round.
Eric Bristow is now the manager of World Champion Phil Taylor.Im not sure if Jocky Wilson is still alive and most older players are like footballers,they retire and are not heard of again

Thnx for the link and the hours they play. Today I saw the game of last night between that Scottish guy Henderson or something and the captain of the English team Martin Adams. Great game.

And yes I like to watch darts, not so much for the sport of it but more for the umpires shouting out 180 and for the crowd to see go mad about some players or throws.

I liked it more when the players were still allowed to drink and smoke on the stage. Sometimes you saw them really making their fans go crazy by shouting gesturing to make more noise.
