Hi,

Does anybody know where I can play darts in Poznan and I don't mean on one of these crappy plastic things!! Also if anyone knows of any leagues or competitions in Poznan on proper steel boards that would be great.

Thanks in advance

I WANT TO KNOW THE SAME THING.

It's driving me wild - the soft darts are just too light for me to throw (I throw 26g darts, so throwing with 20g at the heaviest is impossible).

If you find out, please, please, please let me know :)

Hi,

I play with 27 grams so its just as bad for me. There is a pool hall I go to quite often and they have agreed in principle to me putting a dart board up in there I might try and sortb that out over the weekend then maybe we could have a game? How long have you been over here and what are you doing workwise?

I'd absolutely love a game, I haven't played since last summer (apart from with the dreadful soft tip darts, and I think my game is ruined!). Watching the Barney-Taylor match made me even more annoyed at not being able to play.

And do whatever it takes, bribe them, anything to get such a dart board. The strangest thing is that they sell the real boards in shops, and there's a shop in Wilda that sells quite a broad range of darts accessories - for both steel and soft tip.

I've been here since August now, and I'm unsurprisingly teaching. Not very exciting really, but it's easy money...me? cynical?

I have not played properly for about a year and fear my game is ruined as well!!! And the same as you I got so pissed off watching the final that I decided I have to do something about it! I know the shop in Wilda you mean I've been there before. If you want to email me your mob number I will give you a ring early next week when I've managed to get a board up. My email is owenmurrays@aol.co.uk

I've definitely had enough now, how can people in Poland play with those awful electronic boards? There's no skill involved at all..Last time I was playing, I kept getting bounceouts, yet it was registering treble 20's :/

There's apparently a pub in Poznan that organises darts leagues and so on, but I've never been there. I don't have the guide to hand, so I can't check - but I'm inclined to go and have a look later on today.

Ah ha, this is the place -

If there's not a proper board there, then there's no hope :(

The thing that drives me mental is that before coming to Poland, I was starting to really hit my stride with darts. I was even starting to hit 100+ checkouts from time to time, but now? I fear it's all been lost...

Having said this, I'm still waiting for my first 180. I've hit endless 140's and just cannot hit the magic 180 :(

I've done a bit of investigation into this, and it seems there is a regular tournament/league scene in Poznan. But alas, it seems to be bloody soft-tip only.

But then, I found this...

cronit.cyberdusk.pl/viking/content/view/15/54/

So there clearly is a board somewhere, in a pub, in PoznaƄ...but where?

I'm going to hunt down the Agawa pub tomorrow and check, just in case there's a board there.
