Barry Hearn hints at PDC Venue move

In a recent interview with the BBC Barry Hearn turned up the temperature in the bitter row between the PDC & the BDO by saying that he wishes "they would pack up and sell to me - I could change the face of grass roots darts".
However, putting the playground action aside for one minute a change in venue to hold a larger audience would be a great thing for darts, as it may get back towards the old News of the World days when as many as 15,000 Darts fans would go to see the finals.
Professional Darts has so much competition from other sports and any drive to make it a mainline sport is a welcome one, especially if it helps in the bid to get Darts recognised as an Olympic Sport.
