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.
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.
“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.”.
“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.
“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.
