Sherrock on social media criticism surrounding World Series inclusion: "If the shoe was on the other foot, people would take it"
PDC
Fallon Sherrock returns to big stage darts this weekend and plays in the US Darts Masters at the famous Madison Square Garden with the hype surrounding 'The Queen of the Palace' so far.

Sherrock who has been to a New York Rangers game and has been soaking up the sights and sounds of the Big Apple admits though that she now has a job to do and it isn't all about off the oche.
"I've really enjoyed the experience so far and obviously it's been a long wait but I'm happy that I still got the opportunity and I'm actually here now," said Sherrock to Online Darts.
"I'm not taking it all in yet because to me I've still got to play darts so until I've actually played all my games I'll take it in but I never actually take it all in just before I play because I obviously start feeling pressure."
Current state of game
But as a result of only being seen in big WDF tournaments and the Women's Series, there will inevitably be question marks over the game of the Milton Keynes ace.
"I think it's there, but obviously I just need the big stage to produce it because I've always said it I'm not as good on the floor as what I am on stage and for some reason, I don't know why when I get up on stage, I'm actually a better player than I am on the floor.
"At the Welsh Open, my best game was on the stage against Beau (Greaves), on the floor it weren't great. The Women's Series it's not been there but I know when I get on that stage, it will click."

Juggling World Series and Women's Series
Without a Tour Card, game time is more few and far between for Sherrock but she has the dilemma of the Women's Series clashing with the World Series in the coming months.
In particular the Dutch Darts Masters in Amsterdam but with it only being a two day event, the plan is to fly back whenever she departs the tournament as she continues to aim for the Ally Pally, Grand Slam and World Women's Matchplay.
"I'm trying to do as much as I can when I'm at the Women's Series so I haven't got to worry about it. But I think it's going to have to get to the point where I'm going to have to play these events and if I don't do well, fly back or drive and play so I'm going to be knackered but if it's something I need to do, I'm going to have to do it."
"The one in Germany there is pretty much no chance. I'm hoping I don't need to be there, but if I need to be there I will try my best."

Social media criticism
There has been criticism over Fallon's inclusion in the World Series tournaments despite the opportunity from 2020 rolling over with many pointing to the fact that certain Premier League stars have not been given the spot as a result.
But it is an opportunity that Sherrock admits others would take too if they were in her position.
"I don't ask for it, I'm literally given the opportunity and I'm taking it as what anyone else would do. No one is going to turn down a World Series because they won a couple of games on the stage but it is annoying that people do that but I just don't listen to them anyway because if the shoe was on the other foot people would take it, they wouldn't say no."

- He produced some impressive numbers in that qualifying campaign. I'm excited to see him compete at the World Championship once again, even if it will be difficult to replicate last year's success even with an improved performance, with the draw playing a huge role in determining his fortunes.Deduce635811-11-2026
- I often think about this very question. I think they should revive the format. They could even invite representatives from MODUS Super Series, with four series winners from the past year, and the ADC, with finalists from the Global Championship and perhaps other events. Why not throw in eligible representatives from the JDC and even the soft-tip game too?Deduce635811-11-2026

- Ultimately it is a bye for whoever draws Barney. It will be another stroppy and sulky performance once he goes behind. Barney was excellent but really must completely call it a day now.richieburnettrocks07-11-2026
- I'm disappointed he was not able to secure a spot at the Grand Slam. With Carl Sneyd taking care of Daryl Gurney, he would have had to beat Andy Boulton before facing the winner of Sneyd vs Mensur Suljović for a Grand Slam spot. Unfortunately, after beating Filip Bereza comfortably, he succumbed to Boulton, and the board would ultimately be won by the highly inconsistent Carl Sneyd. Since he could instead have been drawn against the likes of Cristo Reyes, Dirk van Duijvenbode and Stephen Bunting, I think once Gurney was out of the picture he would have been favourite to win his board, and it seems like a massive missed opportunity to put 5 grand on his ranking and seal another major TV appearance ahead of the Worlds. The highs and lows of following Raymond van Barneveld!Deduce635806-11-2026
- Probably i will receive a lot of backlash and hate for this reaction, but well, so be it. I am more than sick and tired of those lies of you Barry Hearn. How dare you defend yourself over the back of Fallon’s son! He has a disability and not an illness, so let me correct that for you! I know because I have the exact same disability. I have tried to reach out to Fallon in the past, and offered her to help her and her son, because I was struggling with the same problems, and I understood the boy. I wanted him to have finally someone who understood him. However she told me that she did not want my help, and I have respected Fallon’s choice. I have never asked Fallon for money. They don’t need money in that case. I only ever wanted the best for Fallon and Rory, but I have to be honest about the situation. Fallon should tell the true story and not be forced to tell lies. I don’t hate Fallon, and I don’t begrudge or envy a single penny that she gets, but this situation/case is just not fair. I hate the lies and the dishonesty and injustice. I don’t want Fallon to be hated because there is an unfair disadvantage created. Don’t proclaim your false lies over the back of Rory! I only stand for integrity and justice. I am precisely the one who always sticks up for Fallon. And you don't, you don't give a damn about them. You were never there for them, and now you only want to save your own position! You are just trying to talk your way out of your own bad behavior at the expense of someone with a disability. And to Fallon, I don’t know if this may ever reach you, and you read it, but I want you to know I love you and I love your son Rory very much, I am sorry how things developed and went. I hope you and Harriet are still friends. I am sorry if I were too persistent to you, or you experienced it that way, but it was never my intention. Please understand I have autism as well. As Barry Hearn would say, I am only just a human being too, and I also make mistakes and misjudge things sometimes. I promise you I did everything out of the deepest love and care for you and Rory. If I were you, I should just keep all the money, only please never be dishonest or tell lies anymore for Barry Hearn, or anyone else. I hope you have the best life, and I wish nothing more than the best for you. I have always loved the two of you. Farewell.Hiddo05-11-2026
- She is a professional. If darts is her income, she is a professional. Same as Adrian Lewis, Martin Adams. A tour card just means someone can play on the PDC tour. You could even make a case that Clayton wasn't a professional (until recently I believe) because he had employment elsewhere.BandB04-11-2026
