Price hopes to boost support from fans with history making nine-darter at Champions League of Darts: 'It might help them get back on my side'

Gerwyn Price is hoping to make a piece of history when the Champions League of Darts comes to Leicester next month for the first time.
If a nine-dart finish is hit, £100,000 will be shared amongst the crowd in attendance at the Morningside Arena and he wants to achieve the feat he also achieved at the Czech Darts Open.
'The Iceman' believes that if he can it will get the crowd on his side after he has received booing ever since his incident with Gary Anderson at the Grand Slam last November.
"I'd love to hit the nine-darter," said Price. "I've done one on the European Tour against Glen Durrant this year but I've missed two or three on TV too, so I've had chances and never done it yet.
"It would be great for me and it's a piece of history, and I'd love to get one of the gold pin badges, but if the crowd gets £100,000 from it too then that's a bonus.
"If I could do that in the Champions League it might help them get back on my side!
"Every crowd is different and they've been getting better, and in Riesa last weekend they were great by the end - probably because I was winning!"

- If he went on the Seniors tour surely he would mop up the titles?Mysstree26-11-2024
- I'll miss Steve Thank you for all the memories and great matches. I was there when he (luckily) won the 96 World Championship, I expected him to win and perfom better in the PDC than he did as he moved over so early when he still had good form. Looks great for 60, today's players should take note !! Sure he was a driving instructor when in the BDO. A cool guy, very friendly and interesting to chat with.No theatrics on stage, just got on and played darts Sign him up SKY !!!richieburnettrocks26-11-2024
- I agree. With the number of tournaments these days?, Phil could probably earn £2 million a year if still playing. I can't believe Chisnall has earned over half a million for being so inept, he barely gets past the first round, stealing a living. That's outrageous.richieburnettrocks26-11-2024
- As prize money increases each year and there are now more tournaments then logically breaking the £2 million barrier is going to happen, only thing preventing it is the now deeper strength in depth of the darting field. If you took Taylor’s best two consecutive years and substituted the prize money from now onto the tournaments he won he would have passed the £2 million.Mysstree26-11-2024
- Only Gary Anderson in MVG’s quarter who should really trouble him assuming he wins his first two games. If he can’t get out of that quarter of the draw he will be hard pushed to win another World Title.Mysstree26-11-2024
