    How long before we see this at one of the PDC events in England?? Had to happen sooner or later

    The bouncers at events are usually extremely strict at darts events so I think it should be ok for a while, unfortunately there seems to be a lot of drink related issues in Australia at the moment, I wonder how many of the people involved in that incident are ex-pats?

    Not the best idea to fill the place with plastic garden chairs. The same would probably happen at Ally Pally.

    Wasn't there trouble at one of the Premier League events in Belfast a few years back. I remember seeing a clip of drinks being thrown in the crowd.

    Can you imagine if 'best of order' Tony Green had been there to witness it.

    Aussies are mad to show the bad side to sports they don't follow much,football always gets highlighted for a small bit of crowd trouble,a flare being key off offends them..go OTT on small things
