The problem for the BDO players is the intensity of the play in the PDC - 95 is a minimum average and you need to be able to produce that on an off day if you are get into the last eight of most tournements.

But with a first prize of 95k for the BDO world champion surely a few guys who are struggling in the PDC could view a move in a positive way?

My prediction for this year:

Taylor will do a nine dart during the Premier League
Taylor will not win the next world championship
Barney will have a significantly better 2009 than he did in 2008
Manley to be outside the top 20 by December
Adrian Lewis/Wayne Mardell to be outside the top 16 by December
Anastasia to play in the 2010 premier league
Chris Mason to move to the BDO

I don't think he's got the bottle for it

I do not think it is that as he has played PDC before (The Matchplay at Blackpool where I think he made the quarter final).

I think it is a misguided loyalty to the BDO plus his public hatred for Hearne (which I am guessing relates back to that tournament) but as all the rest of the BDO boys are happy to go to Wolverhampton it would be nice if he did the same so the tournament would have all of the cream from both organizations in it.

What, because Martin Adams won't play? Awww, the PDC is ruining everything!
