Target Darts are preparing to say goodbye to all-time great Raymond van Barneveld.
Target new boy Glen Durrant has helped the launch of a special project. Wherever he has gone, van Barneveld has been welcomed with the famous "Barney Army" chant. The chant gets a good airing around the world, particularly in van Barneveld's native Netherlands. Rotterdam gave Barney a rousing welcome during his four Premier League visits.
The outgoing legend, it appears, will be presented with a montage of fans pitching in.
Durrant got the ball rolling in a Target Twitter post. Fans have been invited to film themselves giving van Barneveld a shout-out, with an RVB 'goody bag' up for grabs.
Those taking part can tweet @TargetDarts with the hashtag #BarneyArmy to enter their video.
Van Barneveld was most recently in action at the Brisbane Darts Masters. He'll appear at the Melbourne Darts Masters and NZ Darts Masters, before returning to his bid to qualify for a 28th and final world championship.

- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
