If you love the darts...
 
Please say so!!

I couldn't hit the proverbial barn door but I do enjoy watching darts on TV. The only players I can't watch are those that throw left handed as watching them makes my neck hurt. :D

I don't watch pdc, much preferred BDO, so much so I used to go up to the lakeside to watch it

I only watched that once, but never again.

Seeing Jockie Wilson and Eric Bristow playing with no shirts on put me right off my food…

Might be why I was using past tense ;)

The WDF has taken over anyway and will be at the lakeside for the next three years at least

How often did you go?

Given that the BDO is no longer with us, do you now watch PDC events?

For a few years around 2010, also I remember going to something at the circus tavern in the 90's.

No got no interest in pdc, the crowd sucks hard

Ive never understood why football-style chanting by the crowd at a PDC darts event has become a thing in recent years.

who is loving the darts this year? The tournament returns either tonight or tomorrow from its Christmas break.

It came back yesterday. Bunting just had a good win this afternoon.

Tournament is too long now it could do without the first round, and Sherrock getting in for no valid reason.

The crowd were as bad as I’ve ever seen it during the Cross match yesterday. Tedious, pointless chants and almost nobody watching the darts.

I dont specifically watch it, but I'll sometimes watch a few minutes if its on while Im passing time waiting for something else.

One of those games that's fun to play, but tedious to watch, a bit like golf.
