Not football related but the fans at the ally pally tonight sung "please don't take me home" full voice for 10+ minutes everyone in the arena were on there feet. It sounded amazing and I found myself singing it in my living room! Such an incredible atmosphere which always seems to be the case these days. With that sort of atmosphere it got me thinking is darts just full of football fans these days? The atmosphere was electric and the players loved it you could see the smile on their faces when playing.
How darts has changed over the last 20 years!!

Me and my mates were at the Hertha Berlin vs Darmstadt game on Wednesday night and we got it going after several jars of their finest Berliner beer, the locals loved it and decided to join in  only 31,000 in the stadium but comfortably one of the best atmosphere's I've ever been in. |

Surely darts have overtaken cricket these days....Especially for a potter we have a few very good darts players on the books.

Frosty the Throwman. Second best nickname ever. What was the first? In a pub I got talking to a nice Irishman name Phil. Phil learnt I was from Stoke and said he loves Stoke because of the darts connections. He loved darts and arranged all his holidays from work at times he could watch on TV or travel over to England and attend a darts tournament in person. Phil worked in a supermarket and his main task was to make sure the soap powder aisles are all stocked correctly. His job combined with his love of darts gave him the nickname.... Phil the Powder!! |

The natives were shaking our hands in amazement at 300 odd of the hardcore stokies that made the trip singing their hearts out in a half empty stadium. The defiance in not stopping singing was great, a good trip |

In Australia the former Rugby Union captain John Eales nickname was nobody.
As nobody's perfect.
Clever.
There was also a cricket commentator called Neville Oliver his nickname was fart in a bath. Say his name quickly.
Some clever people think these up

There's a guy in our pub darts team named Phil who it has to be said is, we'll let's just say "In touch". He's also not very good at darts so we've nick named him " Phil The Flower Failure"

I always thought it was funny hearing Tony yelling "G'oarrn Steve" to the Zonz. He doesn't strike me as a Steve.  |

Good game darts. Can be played by almost anyone with a bit of coordination. Working man's game, as football should be!

Give me 'who's the bastard in the black' or 'bring on the dustbin' any day. I'm sure it's owrate at the darts. |
