Gerwyn Price on the return of fans has received abuse once more with booing in all parts of the game which all stems from two matches at the 2018 Grand Slam of Darts.

Price will return to the Alexandra Palace next week as defending champion and when asked if he has a message to the crowd who may partake in the booing, he said.

"I think they’d know what I’d say, I’d rather them not boo and just enjoy the darts," said Price to Metro.co.uk.

"I don’t mind pantomime boos at the start or the middle of games, but it’s at the crucial points. I can’t control what they do, but maybe just chill out a little bit and enjoy the darts."

"It’s a lot easier when you can concentrate,’ he added. "Over the last couple of years I’ve had to concentrate a lot more, the crowd’s on my back and I think I’ve done pretty well. It’s probably moulded me into the player I am now, but I’d rather it not be there.

"Sometimes they drown themselves out if they’re all doing it, it goes into one big noise. The smaller the crowds and the less people that are doing it…I’d rather everyone did it than just one person."
