Col Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 darts is a dreadful spectator sport unless you're comatose. Average pint consumption per attendee at a Darts event was around 16. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of good things appear to be happening at Birmingham under the new promotion. Hopefully they can put together a competitive team and enjoy a successful season. I’ll be making the trip over when the Diamonds pay a visit 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he missed last season but he was training. If that has finished could he be able to make a return? Has Ellis not moved back to Australia and set up a personal training business? That was certainly the direction he took in 2020 and 2021 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's clever promotion by the 'Hearns' ! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dog Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 I've been to a darts event and the atmosphere is fantastic. The big plus is the fact that the conditions are always the same and the event won't get cancelled at the last minute... 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All done using marketing people well versed and successful in delivering crowds at the events they get contracts for... A decent marketing budget is so important to generate interest... Yet British Speedway seems to spend an enormous amount of money on everything apart from marketing itself well.... Strange plan... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hearns have done exceptionally well at promoting indoor sports involving individual competitors (rather than teams). I'd like to know of an outdoor team sport that they have been successful at - aside from the outstanding success (not) that is Leyton Orient!!!!!!

I recall Redcar operating on a strict budget under Havelock and they finished bottom season after season, but they still operated and hung on in there , will Brum do the same ?

stevehone Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 as much as i like Adam Ellis, i think clubs need to refrain from guarantees, it should be an incentive to earn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The differing rental costs of the places mentioned would be a major bearing on that I would say... Given so many are tenants, it must be a knife edge for some to "hang on in there"... Even more so over the coming months as the cost of living goes skywards.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t matter what your rental costs, it’s called ‘operating within your budget ‘. Redcar were down to crowds of around 300 at that time so Havelock did well to keep them going. Can you see Brum operating on a similar basis ? They are already claiming they need a 1,000 through the gate and haven’t managed that in the past.
