"It's the same every year" - Gerwyn Price joins criticism of windy conditions on Rotterdam stage

Gerwyn Price was unable to take overall victory on Night 12 of the 2024 Premier League Darts in Rotterdam. For the Welshman, the semi-finals was his end point after defeat to Michael Smith.

Price started the evening by winning 6-3 over Rob Cross in the quarterfinals. "We and Rob didn't really play well, Price admitted afterwards to Viaplay, although he already knows the reason for such a lesser performance.

"I've been here so many times, and I understand that with the crowd and how big the arena is, but the wind around the place... I probably should have brought some heavier darts then I might have played a little better," he explains. "The lighter your dart is the harder it is to throw on that stage but I'm glad I got a win."

"It's the same every year," Price continues. "I don't know if it is the shape of the arena or a few doors open here and there but you just need to do the best you can and I did, I got a win."

In the standings, Price is still sixth, but already ten points clear of number four Michael van Gerwen. The top four after sixteen days of play qualify for the playoffs.
