Sky Sports Darts presenter Emma Paton on Wright-Price World Number One battle: "There's a nice subplot here"

Sky Sports Darts presenter, Emma Paton during her column ahead of the new season also discussed Peter Wright.
Wright will do battle with Gerwyn Price for the World Number One spot this season and Paton believes that brings a good sub plot to proceedings.
"Exactly one month after lifting the Sid Waddell Trophy, Wright will start his quest for a first Premier League title," said Paton to Sky Sports.
"He came so close in 2017, missing six darts to win in the final as he ultimately lost out to Van Gerwen but he's a different player now and it's hard to look past Snakebite as a likely winner after the year he's just had. There's a nice subplot here, too, with the world No 1 spot…
"Gerwyn Price has more prize money to defend in 2022 - and as early as February will see money drop off with him defending £25,000 from the Euro Tour. With Price's Order of Merit lead over Wright just a little over £15,000 at the moment, Snakebite could finally ascend to top spot."

- Even the Hearns and the PDC have had to kowtow to the DEI brigade or lose sponsorship, the DEI activist base may be small but is very vocal and being cancelled is bad for business and profit.

- It seems odd that at the World Championship they have dancing ladies in hot pants and pom poms and yet the walk on ladies who were much more elegantly attired get removed from the scene. I met Daniella at Silverstone when she was a grid girl in the F1 race and was very pleasant indeed. It is a massive shame when you lose the ability to earn or be in the public eye due to bullsheet politics.richieburnettrocks12-09-2024
