I can't be the only one who loves watching Darts on TV. I love both the World Championships. Sky may have the better players but the Lakeside one is more historic. This tournament has been great so far. Baxter/Van Barneveld was an amazing match and then tonight Barney hits a 9 darter. I don't care if people say it's not a real sport, it's just fun to watch.

I don't have anything against the sport, but I just don't find it enjoying to watch on TV.
But I do play it in my basement with my friends once in awhile.

I've watched it on TV once. Pretty interesting actually...
But I wouldn't watch it every day.

I love Darts. The Sky tournament has been amazing. The crowd during Phil Taylor vs Co Stompe was the best crowd I have ever seen. I love playing it aswell, my team got promoted last season

It has great crowds but I think it's one of the worst sports to watch on TV.
I went to an evening at the Madejski where it was Bobby George (legend), Phil Taylor and a load of Reading players throwing arrows, it was brilliant.
I'm also a fan of cowboy Bob for some reason.

Its kinda pathetic that in England, darts is bigger than a sport like basketball.

I used to watch all the home games of my local team. Nearly every game was a sell-out and my team had one of the smallest arenas in the League. Last time I checked, Darts is a legitimate sport. It takes a lot of skill to play darts to a high standard.

You dont even get a spot in the Euroleague because the quality isnt up to par with other European countries/leagues.

There was a Greek team who were world class. And we've had some great players here. Even Dennis Rodman signed for a team here once. He only played 3 games, but hey he signed.
