DARTS fans are demanding a refund after PDCTV suffered a technical glitch during coverage of Day 7 from the Ally Pally. Punters tuning in to watch the afternoon session from the PDC World Championships were met with a "wall of silence.". Fans flocked to social media to complain after logging in to watch the opening match between Karel Sedlacek and Rhys Griffin.

Coverage on PDCTV began at 12.30pm, but some viewers watching on the app complained they couldn't hear any sound from the broadcast. Following 25 minutes of silence on the streams, the PDC released a statement on X. It read: "We are aware of a sound issue on PDCTV and are currently working on a solution with our providers.

"Thank you for your patience.". But as action started from the famous Ally Pally, frustrated fans who had paid to watch were not impressed as the issue persisted. One raged on X: "Patience? C'mon...the stream has been on for 25 minutes and it took y'all this long to even make a statement? It's refund time y'all, this is embarrassing. I woke up at 6 AM in the States to watch this...I want to hear it too.".
Another said: "You gonna turn the sound on? 20 f***ing minutes of silence....the matches are starting and still no sound...what gives?. BEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERS.
