Part wouldn’t include Sherrock in final Premier League line-up: “I don’t think it would be good for Fallon”
PDC
With the Premier League line-up not picked after the World Darts Championship final, many speculated that this was to allow Fallon Sherrock to get a Tour Card at Q-School.
But for John Part, he believes she shouldn’t be included in the final line-up as it isn’t fair to her or the others involved due to the unforgiving nature of the tournament.
“I think it would be hard to pick her with the current format, said Part to The Sun.
“Certainly, she is capable of playing. But if I was Fallon or representing her, I probably wouldn’t want her to. I know from experience it is a gristmill.
“It’s not favourable to somebody’s confidence.
“Yes, it is challenging and a great experience in a lot of ways, but it can really bash you as well.
“It can be unforgiving. It happened to newcomers like Kim Huybrechts, Michael Smith and Mark Webster.
“Yes, it would be good in a lot of ways to have Fallon in it.
“I don’t think it would be good for Fallon. I’m not sure it’s fair to others.
“You cannot undercut somebody that maybe is entirely deserving without question with something which might be publicity.
“In some ways that is bad publicity.”
Even if Fallon didn't win a game it would not crush her, she always takes the positives from ever game win or lose and just gets stronger. The P/L is an invitational and if she get a tour card she should get the call. We have for the first time in dart a women who is good enough to play against the men and i would like to see her in it for sure.
Just because she is a woman, she should be in the Premier League? What a load of rubbish. You also seem to forget Lisa Ashton, who already has a tourcard. She might not be so victorius on the big stage, but on the floor stages see can handle her self pretty well!
Entirely correct …. I recall Barry Hearn giving an interView in 2019 .. about the damage it can cause to a players career if put in too soon. ..

- The Premier League isn’t a meritocracy as it’s not the top 8 players in the rankings, either at the start of the league or now. Dobey currently 9, Price 12. Aside from the top four Sky get picks, thats not meritocracy.Mysstree07-04-2025

- I agree. There needs to be a points system and preferably just a rolling one year. World Championship should earn the most points though it can be argued that the current qualification system does see a fair few players qualify from regional country qualifiers who would struggle to hold down a place on the Pro Tour. If prize money won is going to remain as the determining factor for ranking then the World Championship should just consist of the 128 Tour Card Holders. Another option would be to take the World Championship out of the rankings and have it as the stand alone pinnacle that you qualify for by winning certain tournaments or your ranking position, sort of like a GSOD+.Mysstree05-04-2025
