Upgrade in TV coverage in the Netherlands this year. Not sure the men's quarter finals have been shown before.

23 of the 48 men who have Lakeside invites are taking part, and 3 of the women. Wonder how many will get cards at the end?

Deadline fast approaching. There haven't been any updates on players/numbers so far have there?

The new champion is on 5 Live now. Sounds like he's had a night!

1996, 2004, 2013, 2015...all clearly better than this final IMO. I could make a genuine case for a few more on top. It wasn't even close to being the best PDC final. It is ridiculous that SKY persisted with the claim that it was. They must be desperate for this year's tournament to be remembered fo...

Well played Michael Smith, held it together, and a great last two legs to finish the green goblin off. A near classic, but MvG couldn't keep his level up.

Bad time for a break for Smith, will start thinking about the finishing line now

Smith's arm will get tight surely?

Yeah, looks like he's not feeling it any more

Have some of his detractors kept away form the forum tonight?

Nah, but it's the lesser of two evils, and he is playing beautifully

MvG starting to look worried

Can Smith hold it together? Maybe a challenge match between the only two in form players is the future, skip the mind-numbing nothingness of the rest of the tournament and get to the quality.

Abysmal first 2 rounds, probably the worst of all time. Decent third round Dull fourth round Couple of half decent quarter finals Awful semi finals Not even a barnstorming final can stop this being the worst PDC worlds of all time. Certainly the most underwhelming worlds I can remember. Usually enj...

After 17 days of virtually no excitement, with the only real interest a Price meltdown and the 'usual' crowd misbehaviour, can anyone stop the van Gerwen juggernaut, cos really this has been a very dull tournament.

The main changes I can see are: 2...

In the doubles, not the singles events. Re Beau Greaves, or anyone else who played during the World Championship, in years gone by, I believe you needed to be a full member of the PDPA to be able to play, which obviously would've DSQ you from WDF events. Only tour card holders I thought? That's the...
