  1. Invested in pair of adidas Sonic Boost cost £60 in JD sale should have been £100.Highly recommended and like running on air.Running Liverpool Half Marathon in March and Bupa Great Birmingham Half Marathon in October to hopefully build up for London Marathon next year.Our lass bought us Garmin sat nav running watch for Xmas and has really helped with my training.
  2. Basically yes pal and experience playing not only the best players week in week out but at the big tv tournaments.Watching floor tournaments is a great leveller.Taylor struggles at the floor tournaments but is a lot better in the tv tournaments
  3. Some of the lads that entered Q School and got there cards were complete unknowns that were probably just normal pub players.Great opportunity for anyone to try and mix with the big boys on the main tour.Glad that Joe got his card cos genuine nice guy and a top dart player.
  4. Standard all day was unbelievable pal.Players hitting 180's,ton plus checkouts and 12 dart legs for fun.
  5. Joe won his tour card today mate.Beat Lernbacher in the final hitting a 161 checkout.Would have got it on points earned over the 4 days but did it in style.Saw every game he played today and played awesome all day.Hit 133,130 and 116 checkouts.
  6. Yeah know Joe quite well.Top lad and off to support him Friday and Saturday.Got to last 16 today so 5 points he got may help in the mix up at the end of the 4 days.
  7. Lost 5-2 in prelim round pal.Van de pasAlcinas,Gilding and Kyle Anderson who got a 9 darter at ally pally won the 4 tour cards yesterday.340 players entered and sounded like a tough long day.Second day today.Seen that Lee Hayes around the floor tournaments.Do you know him mate?
  8. PDC Q school starts today in Wigan first of 4 days.360 players chasing a 2 year Tour card.Off on Friday and Saturday to watch a few mates play.Few from BDO playing and Hankey's gone back to BDO.Should be an amazing standard
  9. No mate but lives in Bolton and his GF is a Bolton lass and a Wanderer.
  10. Won his 4th PDC Challenge Tour event today of the season out of 18 to finish top of the Challenge Tour rankings.Went to the last event to decide it.This means he gets 2 year PDC Card,all entries paid for the first season.Also gets entry to Grand Slam of World Darts in Wolverhampton and World Championships at Ally Pally.Great effort by him.Hopefully the springboard to get into top 32.Great dart player and genuine top lad.
  11. Junior can't make QPR game on Saturday and want mate to use ticket.Can you upgrade junior ticket for 1 game to an adult.If you can what is best way of doing.Can you do it online and how much does it cost.I'm in ESL.Ta in advance.
  12. Just got back from there on Sunday after 13 days in Sharm. No bother when we were there.Talking to few locals and they hate that Morsi fella with a passion.Great country and locals very friendly.Sham really.

Anyone know of any taxi companies that do specialised airport taxi runs and possible costs as tryng to way up which option is easier/cost effective? Thanks in advance.
  19. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xg3dsCjTbr8 Ross's 9 darter from yesterday.Awesome reaction and unusual check out of 141 ;-)
  20. He is from Kent originally and moved to Bolton to be with his gf who is Bolton born and bred.He is a Man U fan like Jay said and his gf a big Wanderers fan. Went to support him at challenge tour at Wigan 2 montgs agowhere there were 2 events.Won 7 games to win first and then got to final in second event and lost in deciding leg. Last year was massive learning curve.He is only 24 and playing against experienced players who have been in the game for 10 or more years.This year he has made great progress moving up the rankings.2 years ago he was in bdo and PDC is another level again.He qualified for 5 out of the 7 European tour events so far this year.Will get £3600 for the 9 darter as long no one does the same tomorrow.
  21. Know a lot on here are darts fans.Mention for my mate who lives in Bolton and plays in PDC.Only 24 and currently 68th in the world rankings.Got to qf of world champs at lakeside couple of years ago beating Tony O'Shea along the way.Also top of challenge tour (youth) at the moment and with only 6 tour events left if he is still top at the end gets a place in grand slam and world champs at ally pally this year.Played recently at Reebok in UK Open and narrowly got beat 9-7 by Jelle Klaassen.Beat Gary Anderson recently in Austria. Beat Andy Smith yesterday in Gibraltar with 102 average and plays Adrian Lewis tonight for place in last 16.Not only a great dart player as will only get better with his age and more experience but a genuine top lad.Also worth a follow through his twitter RossSmith180.
  22. Didn't same happen to Per Frandsen or did i imagine that. He left club and didn't get a new contract. Fans only found out after he left the club so couldn't give him a send off last game of season.
  23. Lad at work told me today that Appleton went into dressing room after Burnley game and was so angry he offered all the players out.
  24. Mate said he is on gardening leave and still getting paid by the club. Not the case surely?
