Seriously, There's a Sky Sports Darts channel?

No not really, it's still just Sky Sports 3, just renamed for 2 weeks like they do for other events and movie channels when they show all the films of a franchise for example it was just Sky Cinema Star Wars for a couple of weeks replacing Sky Cinema Sci-Fi/Horror.

Premier sports isn't too far off an RL channel . Every NRL game, state of origin, anzac test, Toronto Wolfpack games, every World Cup game, Auckland nines, various chat shows.

I read in one of the papers today that the fella who won the darts comp went to lift up the trophy, when someone got on the stage and nicked it off him. Was it Cunningham who pinched it, because with his coaching record and tactics that'll be the only chance he'll have winning a trophy as coach.
I wonder if the bars open all day at these darts events. If so do they have any crowd trouble.

Well, quite. And a lot cheaper than 50 bucks a month!

Yes, ideal time would be Magic Weekend.

Hardly worth the bother. The World Championship is spread out over approx 17 days, with most days containing two four-hour sessions. The Magic Weekend is six games over two afternoons.

True,but the supers 8's is over seven weeks. All three top/mid/bottom comps would surely suffice for a channel of its own.Play some archives outside live action..

Doesn't the Ryder Cup have its own channel for a couple of days?

Re: Sky Sports Darts : Tue Jan 10, 2017 3:48 pm  

Off the top of my head they've done it for all of the golf majors and for the Ashes series'.
