Peter " One Dart" Manley is the player that will play in the free darts exhibition which is now fully booked for Sunday 22nd October at O Briens lounge, Timolin, Co.Kildare/Carlow. I told the venue they were succesful in obtaining the exhibition yesterday but only notified them of the player today. I was going to leave them wait and find out who it was on the day but i suppose that would not be very fair. Although i mentioned the reason for chosing this venue was the limosine they have offered there are one or two other reasons too. I have ran exhibs here before with Wozza twice and Jamie once and the lads here have ran a bus to the Wozza V Part exhib in Edenderry next Thursday. Also i know for a fact that the back bone of the people who work in O Briens and the vast majority of people who drink there have tried to keep Carlow darts head above water it has not gone all that well for them and hopefully this will help.
To be honest i had a lot of pubs in lots of different counties interested and i have never denied trying to promote this game in counties that are fading and to be even more honest i've given up trying to promote in my own county Waterford so that ruled them out. They dont support things for spite and through bitterness and for that reason i feel sorry for the genuine fans in my own county as naturally i would have chosen them had it been logical and feasible. Cork had a few entries but Cork will have other opportunities. It is a big county and it is easy to irratate one venue if you choose another. Laois/Offaly/Westmeath will have a lot in 2007 and have the Part V Wozza one in Offaly only 4 days before the Manley one so they'll be content with that. Limerick did have a good case but travelling 4 hours on Sunday after the PDPA tournament would have made us push for time. Mayo can fuck off as it is a hole and always come out of the wood wotk when there is something to be had for nothing. Remember that idiot i wrote about a few weeks ago. Thay never cease to amaze me up there. If it was a GAA exhibition they could have it alright.....arseholes.
So that is why i chose Carlow. They are honest, hard working, interested, honoured to have it for free so that is where the Limo idea has come from and above all i know the county needs it and will appreciate it and thats all that matters.
For some venues i am genuinely sorry for not chosing you but you know its not personal so dont take it to heart. For others i genuinely never gave you a moments thought as you have probably ran crap exhibitions before and were afraid to pay for something or were chancing your arm or even taking money off people to play the pros. The worst exhibition i had was with Jamie in Middleton last May. Totally crap. Calling it crap was being kind to it and this fella wanted this one. Make you laugh wouln't it.
