LONDON: Dressed as Elvis, Asterix or Snow White, usually with a drink in hand, fans transform London’s Alexandra Palace into an overheated darts temple for a world championship that resembles “a Christmas party”
“Twenty per cent of people are here for the darts, 80 per cent for the atmosphere and everything else. I’m fifty-fifty. I want to see the darts, but I also want to soak all this up,” Stephen, a 44-year-old Englishman from Sunderland tells AFP.
His nephew Callum, 28, says that at the World Matchplay in Blackpool “more people go for the darts”.
