bowling is a cool social activity though no
 |
|
By:
It's hard to sell and package as a sport though. At least harder than darts is.

BDO crowds seem less full of the biggest mugs in the world
|
|
By:
That's what I was thinking. It's popular at night clubs here, just like snooker and darts are at pubs here, so if those two sports have found a way to be popular on a competitive level in the UK I though bowling would have a good chance at that too.

Darts is one of those ultimate "working class" sports. Like it's obvious they targeted basically Premier League football fans as their target audience with all the gimmicks added on.
Of course you can not like this group of people (myself included in this), but there's no doubt that's a huge market of people. They do the same in boxing over here for PPV's (not surprising as Matchroom run both). |

By:
Bowling is nowhere near as popular here as it sounds in Sweden from that.

Bowling to me is almost a kids game in the UK.

Have you ever noticed Aaron the huge difference between British darts crowds to German darts crowds (you probably don't watch enough darts to notice). It's a stark contrast, they are much more subdued, and into the darts rather than acting like louts than the UK crowds.
|
|
By:
I've not seen German darts tourneys but the UK ones are horrific crowds
|
|
By:
Yer German crowds are much better.

As a sport bowling has very low status here, like darts and snooker, but it's a popular social activity.

Mestach seems mug odds
|

By:
Darts and snooker also go back years here (like way back to the 70s) when they were mainstream and on BBC a lot which built their status as entrenched.
Darts dipped off massively in the late 80s, early 90s, before a resurgence since probably around 2000. |
|
By:
Dipped off because it had a terrible image (drinking, smoking etc.), and it come hard for sports like that (think of stuff like the banning of tobacco advertising).

Sweden very good at bowling
 , but no-one here cares.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WTBA_World_Tenpin_Bowling_Championships |

Hasn't Mestach never played a WTA tournament or something. I vaguely remember a TF thread on her, like she made top 100 without playing a WTA tournament or something.
|
|
By:
England pretty good
 |
|
By:
dunno. is Anna Tati coming off an injury?
|
|
By:
I think the market just rates Mestach highly.
|
|
By:
had a bad end to last season looking at results
|
|
By:
Having never seen Mestach play I can't say if I agree or disagree.
