I wont be watching bud - I think they should give other players a chance in it - Just have one seeded player each tournament and a load of wild cards - Gives the whole thing a facelift - Know what I mean -

Robson

Oh dear.

Have you actually looked at the line up for it? You are 100% on the wind up.

The Green Machine - Wright - Anderson - Cross - RVB - A few fresh faces - A few local players - Not seeing it bud - Just have one of the PL names - And the rest wild cards - Thats what I would like to see -

Robson

So you haven't looked at the rest of the field then, as I suspected.

Have I missed something bud - Sorry if I have

Robson

Sorry bud - Just looked and your wrong - The PL shooters are in most events - They just take turns and the odd wildcard gets in - The local players have no chance against them - Its like the PL just with a prelim round - Not for me -

I want - 16 man field - One PL player each event - 12 wildcards - 3 local players - Get me now bud -

Robson

Oh christ.

It's a cracking wind up whoever is doing it. Ian, if it's you, well played.

No worries, Glenn.

PETER WRIGHT is excited to defend his German Darts Masters title in the opening World Series of Darts event of the year in Gelsenkirchen on Friday.

The world number two beat Phil Taylor 11-4 in the final of last year’s inaugural event and will be aiming to make it back-to-back triumphs at the Veltins Arena this week.

Wright will face Germany’s Dragutin Horvat in a rematch of their first round clash in last year’s tournament, which saw the Scotland World Cup star edge a 6-5 thriller.

“I'll be ready for this one and it should be fantastic,” said Wright, who will feature in all six World Series events this year.

“It was the first World Series title I won - but I could have gone out in the first round.

“Dragutin had darts to beat me but I got through it and went all the way, which I will be hoping to do again.”

The German Darts Masters will be the first of six global events on the 2018 World Series of Darts and will see the Veltins Arena transformed into a "Darts Music Arena" for the one-day spectacle.

Wright is looking forward to performing in the unique event which will be played in front of a record-breaking 20,000 crowd.

“I can't wait to get back to Germany, I’m really excited for it,” Wright added.

“It was a great tournament to win and it would be massive this year because of the huge crowd.

“The crowds are always behind me anyway but to think there will be 20,000 this week is phenomenal.”

Eight leading German players will compete in the tournament, led by German Darts Open champion Max Hopp, who will be hoping for first career win against Michael van Gerwen.

The first round will be split across two mini-sessions at 3pm and 5.30pm local time, with the quarter-finals kicking off a bumper evening session from 8pm.

The intervals will see music acts on stage at the Veltins Arena to complement the unique World Series of Darts tournament.
