HUMPHRIES HAS FINALLY DONE IT 🏆🚨 It's stunning. It's staggering. WHAT A WAY TO WIN IT! 🤯 An absolutely ridiculous 138 checkout from Luke Humphries to lift his very first TV title 😱 What a moment to win the 2023 @BoyleSports World Grand Prix!
Belgian commentators condemn behavior of crowd toward Gerwyn Price: 'The crowd should realize that this shouldn't be done"

Gerwyn Price on Sunday night failed to win the World Grand Prix for the second time in his career. 'The Iceman' went down 5-2 in the final against Luke Humphries.
Price has been vilified by darts fans for longer than this past week. It began in 2018 when he got involved in an altercation with Gary Anderson during the final of the Grand Slam of Darts.

Since then, the crowd almost always sides with his opponent and regularly boo Price. Thus, during the final, the 38-year-old Welshman was booed again by a large part of the audience. "The crowd should realize this shouldn't be done," it was said on Belgian channel VTM 2 through Rudy Lanssens and Erik Clarys.
"This is never conducive to performing well," Clarys continued. "Although he is gradually getting used to it I think. But it's not nice, really the crowd should just cheer such a top player."

- Spot on. Darts is living in a Littler-inspired bubble at the moment, and it will eventually burst. The PDC now has an important decision to make regarding the rankings. If they remain money-based, it will be seen as proof that the governing body only cares about a small group of elite players at the top and does not want them to be disturbed. There needs to be a return to a points system.StraightArrowNoBull18-09-2025
- Should never have gone to £1,000,000 from £500k, incrementally say over 5 years. Future problem could be if Paddy Power pull out as sponsor, would anyone else cough up that amount? What if a future Government changes the rules on who can sponsor? There is only one way to go with gambling money and thats backwards. Whatever system is used needs to be in place before the Next World Championships otherwise it will skew the rankings if implemented after.Mysstree18-09-2025

- Brilliant match to watch and to see MVG play a good match again. Wessel Nijman played so well. You could see how much it meant to Michael with his young family in the audience.ListerAnderson12-09-2025
- Sorry and sad to hear this news about Jamie. I first met him at Lakeside in 92, I wasn't a fan at first as I liked Kevin Kenny and the crowd were very pro Jamie but once he went to the PDC and he walked to the stage to that Loch Lomond song I became a fan and would sing with the crowd until I was hoarse. On the bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Lomond.You'll take the high road and I'll take the low road, And I'll be in Scotland afore you. A cool player when the PDC had characters. Thank you for the happy memories Jamie.richieburnettrocks04-09-2025

- Inviting the last 8 of majors to the World Series events would mix it up and with local qualifying tournaments could turn both the Series and Finals into ranking events. This year you could have had: Bahrain and Dutch (Worlds): Littler, MVG, Dobey, Bunting, Rydz, Price, Aspinall, Wright Nordic (Masters): Humphries, Clayton, Noppert, Van den Bergh, Heta, Littler, Aspinall, Bunting US and Poland (UK Open): Littler, Wade, Clayton, Rock, van Veen, Humphries, Michael Smith, Aspinall Aus and NZ (Matchplay): Littler, Wade, Clayton, Rock, Gilding, Price, van Veen, Bunting Surely that's better than the same 8 players and invited subs doing effective exhibitions half the year?Scoobedybop23-08-2025
Couldn't agree more. Especially when shouting abuse because he's Welsh. It's not fair on him or his family, and anyone that has kids in the audience. It's about time the PDC step in instead of turning a blind eye to it.
