    It's confirmed now, tier 3 from Midnight 00.01am on Wednesday so there will be fans there for one night!

    The PDC will have to think of something fast because the venue will look absolutely ridiculous if they keep the huge stage and a massive empty room. Too late to change venue now.

    They knew this was coming since last week I'm sure they have set and crowd noise at the ready .

    There's a natural break point when round 2 ends on the 23rd and Round 3 (32 players) starts on the 27th. Presumably the players/officials/tv people go home for Christmas and come back and go though the protocols again.

    I wonder would they consider moving to The Manchester Arena or Bank Liverpool at that stage? 12 sessions remain then I think, 1000 people at £40 would be near £500K (though obviously the move costs a sizeable chunk of that).

    Can’t see it from a logistic perspective

    Its going to be very very different this year with no crowd for 90% of the tournament but is what it is and looking forward to it

    Lots of shocks coming and they could stert as early as tonight. A Peter Wright win far from certain tonight

    When I heard rapturous cheering for Steve West hitting D5 in an arena with about 100 people I was a bit suspicious alright :pac:

    I always thought Portela looked handy anytime I've seen him. Surprised it's his first win

    Nothing to say he couldn't go further. He's in a section of the draw with Durrant. Lewis and Cross but it's not like any of them are playing particularly well.

    Ah god I've missed Wayne mardle. The man just talks sense. He's so measured. Every word out of his mouth is one of substance and weight. Breath of fresh air.

    Did he say he'd have retired if he lost tonight or did I pick that up wrong?

    He said "Tonight would've have been my last game but I won", think he also mentioned losing someone to covid

    His darts seem to hang down particularly when he's shooting at lower end of the board

    Looking bad for Keane. Playing too quick. Missing key doubles

    Yep causes him huge problems if first dart doesn’t hit the treble, ends up chasing trebles around the board
