Re: If you love the darts...
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.

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?

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.

Re: If you love the darts...
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.

Re: If you love the darts...
One of those games that's fun to play, but tedious to watch, a bit like golf.
