    Depends if you want to pay four quid for a plastic pint cup of warm lager. On the plus side if you go in the car you get out of the car park extremely quickly to say it's a busy sporting event, as people go to get pissed up. At the end pint cups with alcohol still in them get launched around so watch for that. A few minutes to seven before they come on air John Mcdonald introduces "Yorkshire's own" Dave Clark. I bet the other week at Leeds Arena he was introduced as Leeds own but if he was called that in Sheffield he'd be booed.

    That's as bad as the "boring boring tables" chant and "stand up if you love the darts". Just looked at the PDC calendar for this year and the November players championship weekend at Metrodome has switched venues. They usually go there three times a year but it looks like they aren't going again this year for whatever reason.

    It's great if your sat on tables near front. Been last two years. Anything further back than halfway and it's *****. If you're sat in seats you may as well
    Watch it at home

    When I first went you felt part of everything close to the action but since then probably due to health and safety and idiots you were farther away and the atmosphere was lost.

    Glad you had a good night. It's great if you go for the atmosphere, wouldn't really go to try and take the darts in tbh.
