Re: darts
awesome! I'm also off on the 27th with my dad - bit of a yearly tradition to go now for his birthday. We got extremely lucky with the draw and we get to see Barney, Taylor and Van Gerwen all on the same session - old man is buzzing as we haven't managed to see Taylor before!

Re: darts
The talent and skill is exceptional, I won't go into the boards having larger treble and double segments to increase scoring, but Barry Hearn has turned darts into a sideshow
I would wager that 90% of the people that go to the darts aren't there to watch what is going on, but to drink beer and chant.

Re: darts
Always wanted to go but unlike most I'd actually go to watch the darts....is that possible? It doesn't seem so judging by what I see on the tele!ohsnap wrote:was there for that lvg - reyes game - very good indeed!
Lewis vs van Barneveld another cracker last night.
Watched one of the darts "gold" matches, Taylor vs Part in the 2003 final.....standard has shot up incredibly

Re: darts
How does one manage that in a fairly large arena? Darts are quite small , the areas they are aiming for quite small too.woodgreenspur wrote: Yes,you can watch the darts.Many do.Whenever i have gone its been a party atmosphere, but i was there to watch the arrows.

Re: darts
Cheers woodgreenspur. I assumed the closest tables would have been all corporate sponsors.
I suppose the BDO at the lakeside is probably the place to go if it's just about the darts though the gap in standard is really starting to open up.

As i said, you have to get in early though.My mate bought the tickets at 10am sharp the day they went on sale.And that was in July.

Re: darts
Bloody hell, suppose for the latter stages the demand will be huge.
Well I can average 70 on a decent day so I'm probably more likely to make it as a player than a fan at this rate

Re: darts
Phil "the prick" Taylor up to usual antics again.
Having a pop at Wayne Mardle for being asked an honest and fair question.

Re: darts
Anderson v chizzy was just unbelievable. So glad Taylor is out. MVG is powering through but hasn't come up against any of the big boys. I backed Anderson at the start. He looks so at ease. Gonna be a great semi finals night

Re: darts
Andersons interviews are great, it's like he's just doing all this for a laugh and if he gets knocked out then so be it. I think he consistently goes the distance because his technique is so bullet proof, so few moving parts.Veston Pance wrote:Anderson v chizzy was just unbelievable. So glad Taylor is out.

Having said that I think MVG will scrape past him but you're right - MVG hasn't been properly tested yet
