Littler and opponent Luke Humphries faced jeers and whistles in the final as the 18-year-old ran out a 6-5 winner. The Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) has warned fans that inappropriate behaviour could lead to ejection from events after Glasgow’s Premier League Darts evening was disrupted by whistles and jeers directed at players. Players including Luke Littler and Gerwyn Price were subjected to jeers as they went to throw during the event, with referee Kirk Bevin using the microphone to call on the crowd to stop during the final between Littler and Luke Humphries.

After his 6-5 win, defending champion Littler said that “there were a few in particular that were doing it [whistling]” when Humphries went to throw, with the 18-year-old adding that it “was pretty bad, but I got the win”. “Every player goes on stage with the intention of performing to the best of their ability and providing an entertaining spectacle for all fans, whether in the venue or watching worldwide,” it added.
The PDC explained that its terms and conditions allow that “spectators who act inappropriately can be removed from the venue”. “The PDC works closely with Premier League venues, who have responsibility for crowd control, to take proactive and decisive action against those who behave inappropriately,” added the statement. “The vast majority of fans who attend our sell-out events on a regular basis also condemn this behaviour and we will continue to promote a positive atmosphere which gives all players the opportunity to play to the best of their ability in every match.”.
