Fallon Sherrock deserves to be in this year's Premier League Darts due to the fact she's one of the biggest commercial draws in the sport, says Laura Turner 🎯
Turner on argument for Sherrock Premier League inclusion: "She's hot property, everyone wants to see Fallon play"

With the Premier League going down to eight players instead of 10 to account for the new format change, the inclusion of Fallon Sherrock potentially has been debated and whether she warrants a place in the line-up.
Laura Turner spoke to Sky Sports Darts after the format announcement and said it's a tricky one but the commercial value is there so she wouldn't be surprised if it happened.
"She's got to be one of the most commercial assets within darts at the moment, she's hot property. Everyone wants to see Fallon play," said Turner to Sky Sports.
"I think the argument now we've gone down to eight, it's very difficult to shoehorn her in based on what we've seen but if they did, it wouldn't necessarily surprise me.
"Darts is a commercial enterprise as much as it's sport and entertainment and everything else so it would and wouldn't surprise me and you can warrant it just on how much people want to see Fallon Sherrock play but my gut instinct is that it will go to the top eight players in the world or out of that top 10."
Selling out arenas
Turner sees it also from the point of view of selling out arenas and giving darts to audiences who previously wouldn't tune in.
"You ask people who they see in the press and who people are talking about, she's a massive name up there because of what she's achieved. It's a difficult one, you want bums on seats. She's opened up darts to completely different audiences."

- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
- If he gets even a ticking off there is something drastically wrong. Cut this woke crap, he was celebrating in the heat of the moment, not like he abused Bunting or punched someone, he was elated.Mysstree02-11-2024
