The girl that played for China at the 2019 world cup has died at only 31.

Interesting interview with Matt Porter on the weekly darts cast. He says the Grand Prix won't be returning to Ireland but they're going to hold some other event here in 2024, they're currently talking with venues.

Have to presume it's going to be a world series or euro tour event.

Just seen that, 1st woman to do it I assume?

brendon dolan nailed one over the weekend , willie o'connor today

Seen that, still only in his thirties despite been around forever

I think Aileen got lucky that her £1500 from the back half of last year lifted her into seed 7 over Noa-Lynn, she might have a chance at making the final as opposed to an almost guaranteed QF exit.

Had a walk around Ally Pally complex when I was over in London last weekend. Very impressive place

The PDC contract is up at the end of the 2024/25 championship. Wonder will they move somewhere else then. The O2 or Wembley Arena could be tricky enough getting the availability

Hard to see the PDC rushing back to Citywest either for the GP

Very true and as an added bonus the WDF have there world championships the start of December now

I'd say the Ally Pally train station is sum sight to see on dart nights

I'd expect it to be a commercial decision, in the same way they left the iconic Circus Tavern. If they can get a better deal from someone else or if they feel they can sell more tickets than the 3,000 limit of the West Hall at AP etc. I doubt they feel any loyalty to the venue. I'd liken it to the same way the Gibraltar events (darts, snooker, pool) got abandoned once the government incentive money stopped.

Having said that, I'd be surprised if they can't reach agreement to keep it there.
