ladies wildcards. For the men
we will see the return of Andy
Fordham to the BDO fold, with
Richie George joining him as the
second of the mens wildcards.
Before that whole host of
musicians,
comedians
and
entertainers have trod the boards
in the venue and it holds as special
place in British culture
For the ladies recent Lakeside
winner Lisa Ashton was joined by
Lincolnshire county player Paula
Jacklin in taking the wildcard
spots.
It is perhaps most well known for
hosting the BBC television show
Strictly Come Dancing’, but come
February it will be ‘Strictly Come
Darting as some of the worlds top
players descend to compete for
the £115,000 prize fund on offer.
The tournament will also be
bolstered by the recent news that
Ted Hankey is returning to the
BDO.

Return Of ‘The Count’
The Telford-based thrower will
have to come through qualifying
stages as he currently has no
BDO ranking and he made his
announcement after the decision
on the wildcards had been made,
but should he come through he
will surely be a major draw for TV
audiences.
Co Stompe and Roland Scholten
have also both returned to
the BDO, although we await
announcements as to whether or
not they will be attending the
World Trophy.
An Historic Venue
Anyone can enter the World Trophy
at the qualifying stage and there
is a real chance that we will see a
new player or two making their TV
debuts after the qualifying stages.
If you want to give the tournament
a go yourself you can find more
details on the BDO Events website
