2013 darts world championship

it didn't kick off when I went last Saturday but it does get a bit heated at the back between the tables and the stands. for some reason the people on the tables right at the back think they are much better than people in the stands next to them, when in fact they've paid more money for the same view of the big screen. I've heard that it has kicked off at the back before for that reason though. but generally everyone there is just having a good time.

how can you even see from there?

You cant, but you cant see from the table right at the front, there is massive TVs at either side of the stage.

it doesn't look like you can see much of them from anywhere but the front though?

You can see them fine, like watching a replat at the Etihad you can be 100 yards away and see what happened. Its also a lot smaller venue than it looks on TV imo.

fair enough, must just be the lighting when seeing it on TV, makes the screens look fainter than they probably are.

yeah I was surprised how small the venue was as it looks big on tv. and no matter where you are you have to watch the screens, so I don't understand why you'd want to be on a table at the back unless it's to act like billy big bollocks. tables at the front are obviously the best seats to have, anywhere else you may aswell save 15quid and get in the stands where the atmosphere is. theres a big screen at the back for people in the stands aswell, which was even funnier for the knobs on the tables just in front who just missed out on seeing that aswell, so had to watch the ones at the front

drab match, standard apart from Van Gerwen a couple of sets earlier just hasn't been quite there for me.

Not sure if this has been posted, but one of MVG sponsors on his shirt is "Etihad Stadium".

Me and the lad noticed that when he was walking out.

it's to do with the darts event at the etihad stadium in Melbourne <a class="postlink" href="http://mobi.etihadstadium.com.au/#event-3" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://mobi.etihadstadium.com.au/#event-3</a>

They're having a darts match at a 50,000 outdoor stadium?

Hope the wind doesn't get up.

I cant beleive how shit Whitlock has been if he gets it back to 5-3 he might have a chance but Wright has been brilliant on Double 16.

 

[BlackaryDaggery]

Whitlock was poor. Pleased for Snakebite, can't see him winning the whole thing though against MVG or Lewis (I assume it will be the latter, he's been sublime) as much as I hate to admit it.
