Wade thinks that he has only just brushed on the edge of his ability; as well as that he can do better going into tonight's clash with Michael Smith. "I just want to be in the top four," said Wade. "We've got a few more games left and I'm playing with the best players in the world but I'll take anyone on. "I've only brushed upon the edges of my abilities - I think I can do better." for more information about the Premier League Darts, including all the fixtures and the prize fund breakdown.

- The PL is still mostly UK. It's the flights and delays that they don't like, made worse with more Brexit checks coming in recently.BandB08-04-2026
- I don't get this. I like Nathan,seems a nice bloke. Yet he's moaning about travelling,and the next thing, saying he missed the premier league? Well that's a lot of travelling saved! I keep saying scrap the premier league,but am I the only 1 who thinks it just causes a rift between the players? Scrap the thing,have a few tournaments for everyone instead,not just 8!!rick6707-04-2026
- Well,he doesn't want to play in Germany,and now he's letting things get to him. I appreciate he's a fantastic player,he's won loads,but perhaps he should perhaps learn to grow up a bit and realise whoever you are,you can't win every single match.rick6703-04-2026
- I'm afraid the physique of Mr littler is not that of an elite sportsman. Remember when he was on kebabs and burgers,and proudly announced it? He's still a great player thoughrick6726-03-2026
- Yeah it was exciting when it started back around 05. Now its just a punish every week. Take it up to 12 players, and bottom 2 drop out after everyone has played once. No need for finals etc every week. At that stage make it first to 7 instead of 6 to take up the timeslot.Cameron.W14-03-2026
- Honestly,who cares? This league should be scrapped. It's just a money spinner for PDC and sky. How on earth can 8 players do this every week,and leave the rest behind? It's a bit shameful really. Anyone can win against anyone,but not every week. Scrap itrick6712-03-2026
- depends on the tournament, easier to tune out at minehead where the acoustics aren't very good and half the crowd are pensioners. "keir starmer's a w*****" is their only good chant though, they should censor the rest and keep that one.colt09-03-2026
- I watched all of the UK open and didn't hear it. Does anyone actually listen to, or hear the crowd noise? I just tune it out as it gets quite annoying. If I have to hear "if you love the darts stand up" one more flippin' time.... Clearly everyone there loves the darts, they paid for tickets. Why they should stand up is beyond me (half of them are so bladdered they'd fall straight back down anyway) hahaha
DartsEnvy09-03-2026 - I can't answer why, only the PDC can. I do watch most of them on PDC TV - I have it on in the background when working from home haha. There can be some great moments in them like Beau's recent 9 darter etc. As for their significance, they all contribute to the players rankings with the winners of each day getting 15K, so they are important to their rankings as well as their overall earnings. Win 4 in a year and there's a nice 60K (runner up also gets 10K per day). Also I've seen so many interviews where players say they really enjoy it, because its "pure darts" without the spectacle and they can just get on with it. As per the original reply above, with the stage format playing in front of a bunch of booing drunkards, it's a nice change of pace and can aid concentration. So I can perfectly understand why the players like it so much - it's a good earner, not quite as late nights and very quiet / pure.DartsEnvy09-03-2026
