The Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) has warned that any fans who disrupt an event face being removed from the venue, after Thursday’s Premier League night in Glasgow was marred by spectators whistling at players as they went to throw.
“Following Thursday’s Premier League Darts night in Glasgow, the PDC wishes to strongly reiterate that it does not condone any behaviour which can disrupt an event, such as whistling or booing when players are throwing,” the PDC said in a 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.”.
After his win, Littler – the world champion and defending Premier League champion – admitted his frustration at the “pretty bad” situation faced by the players.
“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.
