World Darts Ally Pally

What a game that was!

Covered End

Chisnell v Evans best game so far.

Croydon

So many seeded players falling before Christmas. Has really opened up some parts of the draw. 

Cross v Williams could be a cracker too.

I see no-one putting up any scores this evening.

Is this in deference to those who intend to watch the highlights on 'Darts Match of the Day' without knowing the results later?

That Chisnell/Evans game easily best of the tournament so far - had everything! And what a session, four superb contests.

Watched Chizzy Evans last night and Crosd this morning. The latter was a massive let down compared to the former

I used to love watching the darts. Been to Ally Pally and Circus Tavern to watch and it’s a great night out. But I’ve just not really watched it in recent years. The quality is better these days and Littler is an insanely talented player, but I just don’t find it entertaining anymore. Maybe it’s the characters? I dunno. I think I’ve just lost the bug.

I tried watching a match the other day and just couldn’t generate any interest. I found the thing I noticed the most was the stupid way the caller shouted 180 in a weird overly long escalating pitch which, for some reason, pissed me right off.

I’m kind of jealous of you lot, because I used to really love it. Oh well. I guess I’ll just have to fall back on the entertainment titans that are Charlton Athletic! 🙄

It was on my part.
I didn't want to ruin it for anyone that had recorded it and knew that you can always google the scores.

How did you find your visit this year @Covered End ?

We've gone every year for longer than I can remember, possibly about 15 years.
It's always the same, it's part of Xmas for us.

If you like drinking lager, having a sing song, partying and watching the best darts players once a year then it's brilliant.

I've never seen any trouble there apart from the one or two ejected in 15 years for being overly boisterous.

I’ve been watching highlights on YouTube and the commentary sounds so lifeless this year. Dan Dawson is only one who sounds excited by what’s going on.
