Gurney looking forward to fans returning at PDC World Darts Championship: “I've not been playing well without them, that's for sure”

Daryl Gurney will head into the 2020/21 PDC World Darts Championship with form to recapture after a poor year for ‘Superchin’.

For Gurney, he puts this down to a lack of crowd and that he’s really suffered without them so cannot wait to be there with the 1,000 per session.

"We all play on adrenaline and play feeding off the crowd, I know I certainly do," said Gurney to the Belfast Telegraph. "So with nobody there, you're missing that incentive.

"I wouldn't be one for giving it large to an empty room anyway. When you're playing and you're in front of a crowd, it's your supporters and the supporters of an opponent, so whether you're looking to give your fans something to shout about or to shut up the other guy's fans, there's always something.

"I've not been playing well without them, that's for sure. So to have 1,000 fans in, knowing they'll sound like three or four thousand too, I can't wait.”

"It's December, it's darts, whether you're a fan or not, you can't avoid it and there's a buzz off that.
