Also rumours that six players gonna leave the BDO system after Lakeside - Anderson, Webster, Fitton, Waites, O' Shea and Whitlock are the names that keep cropping up.
I think Hearn's predicted that he thinks 6 will make the switch?
I've always been led to believe that Webster wanted a crack at defending his title and wanted to continue with the plumbing for a little longer and then planned to come over so I'd imagine that that will happen after Lakeside.
Anderson said in an interview the other week that he was looking to treat his Darts as a business rather than a hobby after January which would leave you to assume that he's planning on coming over. If that happens then I'd expect Gary Robson to follow.
If either of the above are Lakeside champion then expect it as Hearn will offer the PL wildcard to them and I can't see either turning that down.
Fitton and O'Shea's a new one for me and if one goes then the other will probably follow though I'm not certain that Fitton was all that impressed with the crowd noise in Wolverhampton and
Waites (who's not a bad bet for the Lakeside as he's chucking well) will come over as I think Brian Woods will as well as he looked in awe of things down at Wolverhampton for the Grand Slam.
Whitlock's supposedly moving to Stoke next year and guessing by the way that Taylor was talking him up at the Grand Slam, he'll be having a word in his ear and it wouldn't surprise me if Taylor stumped up some of the cash for Whitlock to have a crack at doing the circuit.
For me, Anderson, Robson, Webster, Whitlock, Waites and Woods.
