The Grand Slam of Darts lineup is close to being completed, the yearly tournament in Wolverhampton plays host to the best of PDC and BDO with only the European Championship left being the tournament that helps decide it.
Daryl Gurney and Simon Whitlock have been confirmed due to Grand Prix runs and the BDO lineup is similar to usual with World Champion Glen Durrant appearing in the lineup, Danny Noppert being apart of it once again ahead of a rumoured PDC switch and Geert de Vos returning among the 8 men in their lineup.
The likes of Michael Smith, Alan Norris, Adrian Lewis etc. are relying on someone not pulling of any shocks in the European Championship to confirm their spots otherwise they will have to take part in the PDPA qualifier which determines multiple spots in the tournament in a few weeks.

- It also gives new tour card holders something to aim for early season...Thomas Moffatt29-10-2024
- Loving the concept as I was a fan of the old BDO tournament and it is great to see they are following it...Thomas Moffatt29-10-2024
- That's the thing, Richie. I used to love the Lakeside walk on; Fitton, Madness, and many others too. As I stated in a much earlier post, I used to attend Lakeside (when the cash allowed it) with my late old man - late 80s, early 90s and enjoyed it immensely. How times have changed, sadly.MrYnyslas197129-10-2024
- Yes, indeed. I have been watching darts for over 40 years and like to think I have good knowledge of the sport, but I haven't heard of most of these players. I really miss the characters like Wolfie, 2 Hotty, Fitton, O Shea, Hankey etc. All my friends ask what happened to the Lakeside darts as they were casual fans who never had SKY and only watched and attended Lakeside. I understand age is probably an issue now and form, but only Paul Lim would motivate me to attend and cheer on. Maendl-Lawrance will send the crowd to sleep. He makes Justin Pipe look like Ricky Evans. If this tournament was mixed, Beau would be the outright World Championrichieburnettrocks29-10-2024
- This tournament is now pretty pointless. Years ago,it was fantastic, Wolfie, Waites,Atkins, Robson etc. But now not many average above 80!!rick6728-10-2024
