Luke Littler emphasizes with World Number 1, Luke Humphries over his emotionless comment after talking about their hectic scheduling.
This is not the first time a darts player recently has come out with a comment around their scheduling, Gerwyn Price has been saying the same thing for a whole year. In some cases if you're in the Premier League of darts you may only get 1 or 2 days off a week and they may be taken up with traveling depending on where the tournament is.
It has also caused some players to drop out of tournaments and pick and choose the ones they want to go far in, which shouldn't be the case.
"It’s not good to see a player like Luke Humphries, the world No.1, admit he’s struggling. I totally agree with him, and Gerwyn Price said the same thing last night – it’s tough, especially when players are travelling to places where there are no direct flights and then you have to catch a train to reach the venue.
Both Luke Humphries and Luke Littler admitted to each other about feeling tired after the final in Newcastle albeit 'The Nuke' has perhaps managed his schedule a bit better.
Littler said: "After I played against Luke in the final of the Premier League night in Newcastle a couple of weeks ago, we both said we were tired".
“I think we averaged around 94 (93.62 and 93.31) in that game and I was just happy to get the win.”
Is the scheduling become too hectic, should the players competing in the Premier League feel less expected to turn up to some events, the main thing is we don't want our darts players turning up and not feeling excited to be there?
