Well done Humphries.

 

Really performed when it mattered most. 

[The Bear]

Little v Sherrock would be fun, but can't see her winning. 

 

 

 

[kingfox]

Bit of an unbalanced draw, most of the in form seeds are all in the top half. 
 

Third quarter is wide open, fourth quarter I expect Anderson to come through that if some of his recent performances continue. 

[Wortho]

So it could be the two Luke’s playing each other in the semis?

This will be the last time we'll see Littler outside the top 2 seeds for a very long time I imagine.

[Sir Steve Howard]

Nijman and Wattimena the two unseeded you'd least want to draw probably.

Can't see MvG getting past Anderson/Ross Smith

[Wortho]

MVG is capable of getting to the semifinals, even though he’s not the player he was.

[EnderbyFox]

Nijman is my dark horse pick, 12/1 to make the final seems pretty good value. Definitely capable of beating anyone on that side of the draw 

[Torquay Gunner]

Would like to have seen Beau Greaves in this, but she has chosen to defend her women’s title.

I'm not so sure.

 

Incredible talent but he has been knocked out of 3 tv events in the first round this year.

 

There are other players like gian van veen emerging and there are bound to be more young players breaking through in the next few years.

 

Players time at the top is far shorter in the ally pally era.

I'm interested to see how he handles turning 18.

 

Whether he'll be on the lash a lot or if he'll still just be sat around on Fifa/TikTok till 2am when he has an early start in the darts

 

Ridiculously talented for someone who doesn't seem to be madly into training. I imagine that'd be good for his longevity to be fair, if he can go 5 days without picking up darts and throw a 100+ average.

Leighton Bennet banned for 8 years for match fixing.......what an idiot!

Was supposed to be the next big thing before anyone had heard of LL......great talent but apparently a bit of a knob!

I think he has his head screwed on....under the same management as Rob Cross and doesn't seem to be believing his own hype(unlike Bennet)It helps when the whole darts world want you to do well as it's lifting the image of the game........even I don't call it a sport!

[Graceroad]

70 year old  Paul Lim the last man to hit a 9 darter at the Lakeside in 1990 through to the SF of the 2024 world championship  what a story if he could lift the trophy

[PAULCFC]

Lim in the final.....don't usually bother with Lakeside,but i'll watch that.

Seems reasonable enough, a few crowd pleasers in the mix

[Super_horns]

General feeling seems to be Price and Aspinall are lucky to be in.

Really surprised to see Price included in it this year. Wasn't he moaning about it last year?

Anyone here play darts?

When I last played I was on a nine darter, until I missed treble 20 with my first dart

[AjcW]

I've loved watching darts for years on telly, had tickets a few times, one got cancelled and the other I had to drop out of so never actually experienced it live  

 

Feeling a bit mixed at the minute as it's great how popular the sport has got, but every single event in the UK in 2025 is sold out already on the PDC site! 

 

I'm sure the odd ticket will pop up here and there, but i'm gutted as wanted to make sure I got to a few in person this year.

Used to play for my local pub. A few years back we were lucky enough to get a few pro's in for exhibition nights. I managed to beat Steve Beaton and Bob Anderson but lost to Phil Taylor. Still got a board set up at home but nowhere near as good now
