Due to heavy xmas schedule i have only just noticed the two posts by Linda (from the darkside lol)
Sorry for the late reply.
Sadly we have only 16 teams as two were unable to fulfil the requirements late on.
Yes it is nice to see we live in a strong darting community.
It would be nice to see Deta again I haven't seen her for a few years. And boy can she play. Frightened the life out of most of the PDC tour.
I must say this thou..... you say we were stagnating as a league.
I think we were going through hard times. Myself and the new comittee members (what few we had) had only just loosened the grip of the Hammersmith club who thought they owned the league and had a very long and hard road ahead of us in turning the HDDA around.
yes it never was going to an easy and instant job.
But for the few we had on the committee we tried and in all fairness the few committee mebers NEVER once got praise for work they had already acheived but merely critised and in some cases treated with total disrespect from people who were clearly self motivated and blinkered. .
One thing that never has been easy for me to understand if the darkside inventors agreed with this so much why on earth did they not come onto the committee and help with the transition......
THE ANSWER is and always has been they wanted there own league that they could dictate.
Also one of the main agruement and I know these as i still have ALL stored, was fees so it surprises me no end to suddenly raise the game to £75.
Our sponsorships deals are in place because what we promise is that we deliver.
Your youth system is fantastic and i hope you get the backing it deserves.
But all in all, all we learnt from the darkside was to advertise a little more than we were.
And I am glad to hear that they now reliaze what is needed to run a happy ship fairly and cheaply........ and what work is involved.
As it is still the HDDA that leads the way in west london. and we will continue to take those back handed compliments from all others.
having said all that I wish all of the darkside good health and a happy new year. and should any team wish to come a join the HDDA and enjoy what wonderful delights we are offering this term they woould be made more than welcome .
