Michael Smith disagrees with Michael Van Gerwen and Gerwyn Price over World Darts Championship Ally Pally move

 

Michael Smith is adamant that the World Darts Championship should remain at Alexandra Palace.

There has been a divide in the sport in recent times, after Barry Hearn appeared to open the door to a move of the World Darts Championship from its spiritual home to Saudi Arabia.

In recent days, leading stars Michael Van Gerwen and Gerwyn Price have expressed their openness to an historic move of the showpiece event to Middle Eastern shores.

But 2023 world champion Smith believes the darting calendar’s highlight event belongs within the hallowed walls of the north London venue.

He told the Daily Mirror: “Ally Pally, we should move rooms, not move venues. There’s a bigger room in there that holds six or seven thousand.

Michael Van Gerwen agrees with Gerwyn Price on moving World Darts Championship

“You’re not going to move the Matchplay, because it’s Winter Gardens. It’s iconic.

“The Premier League is iconic to the 02, and the World Champs is Ally Pally.

“No one ever calls it the World Champs, they say ‘I’m going to watch at Ally Pally’.

Smith is not totally against a move of other tournaments to Saudi Arabia, but has backed widespread fan opinion on a move of the tungsten tournament.

Price had suggested himself that he was happy for the move to take place, due to his villain arc with fans which has seen him face heckling from the hostile crowd.

Van Gerwen also shared Price’s opinion on a venue switch, adding: “[It] will be great, I think. They wanna make sports big in that country.

 

“You saw the big boxing games there, the football there. For me, I don’t mind where I play.

“I will be competing, and that’s how it is.”

A move is being explored purely down to the demand of tickets, with the current part of the venue the tournament is held in only able to house 3,200 spectators.

It was the most memorable moment of my career.”  Brought up in China’s southern Guangdong province, neighbouring Hong Kong, an 18-year-old Feng became the first Chinese player to earn an LPGA tour card in 2007.  The easy-going Feng went on to be the first Chinese player, man or woman, to win a major and lifted 10 LPGA titles during her 14 active years on the tour.  In 2017, Feng became the only Chinese golfer to date to reach the world No 1 ranking.  During a supremely consistent career, Feng registered 18 top-10 finishes in majors, two of them in 2021 even as she was winding down her playing commitments.
