Great fun.

First upset already happened. Kim Huybrechts out.

Beau Greaves is a phenomenon, if she keeps her trajectory up, she can be top 10.

But the rest are bloody rubbish. Lisa Ashton just earned herself a nice £15k for 30 mins work there mind.

Littler should probably get SPOTY but he probably won’t cos he’s a darts player and darts players always get shafted at these events

Kinda feels like it peaked a while ago

Not really sure why

It gets bigger crowds than Snooker though ...played both games they make it look easy in both sports....

Ever played it Eggs - you have to be a great mathematician - the marker or referee can only tell you what you have scored - luke littler as part as being a high scorer - mainly wins his games as his mathematical brain & ability finishes out high scores -

I played in a league & this guy punched the air & he had worked his finish out incorrect by 2 - so he was bust - I stood up after the marker had got it incorrect - & pointed it out - the red faced marker - OK - then I duly finished my score & won the leg for the team to win 5-4 ...

….not really, Joey. Obviously very popular but I’d never be tempted to watch on telly.

Its worth watching Luke the Nuke - it attracts bigger crowds than snooker - & I played both sports for a team etc - I just watch Luke his finishing is incredible & boy does he have bottle ....

More of a laugh when you're there and well toasted. It's a spectacle on the tv but the buzz of the atmosphere isn't the same. It's skilled, and lends itself to the rowdiness that snooker can't.
