"As long as the fans are enjoying themselves, I don't care" - Peter Wright not bothered by frosty reception from World Grand Prix crowd

Peter Wright remains on course for a first final victory at the World Grand Prix. 'Snakebite' defeated Ryan Searle 3-1 in the second round.
Wright had to come back from a 1-0 deficit. "It was always going to be a battle against Ryan. You know, he's a fantastic dart player," Wright said in his post-match interview with Tungsten Tales. "I'm pleased obviously with the win, but performance no."
"There was some nice ton plus finishes and yeah, that's coming back so if I can get the rest to come back too, that would be nice," 'Snakebite' continues.
Wright, usually though a crowd favourite, was even whistled at by some of the crowd for a while. "I don't care, I got them on my side in the end, that's all that counts," he explains. "As long as the fans are enjoying themselves, I don't care. I'm out there to try and win and that's that."

- Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.
UndartedWaters16-11-2024 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
