Just had a discussion on the @LaubyJr noise issue. @SkySportsDarts controls the crowd noise and have apologized to both Danny and the @OfficialPDC. All involved recognize that: A) It was nothing more than a mistake; and B ) it was wholly unacceptable to happen at that time.
Sky Sports offers apology to Lauby after bad timed mistake with crowd noise
PDCFriday, 18 December 2020 at 13:12
Danny Lauby played brilliantly on Thursday night as the American just missed out against Ryan Searle but it could have been so much different.
Lauby had to hit 28 to stay in the game in the fifth set against Searle but with his second attempt under double 7, cheers came from the speakers which visibly distracted Lauby.
His third attempt was then missed as a result and Searle pinned double one for the win.
Since the outbreak of Coronavirus, Sky Sports has pumped in fake crowd noise but this went completely wrong in this instance.
It was since revealed from Championship Darts Corporation (the American affiliated PDC tour) president, Peter Citera, that Sky Sports had since apologised for this instance.
🙌 If that wasn't the game of the round so far, what was? Ryan Searle battles through to beat Danny Lauby 3⃣-2⃣ and progress to the next round.

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
