Looking at the last couple of pages I think it should be renamed Dens Darts. :D

And why is it in a 'Sports' forum, it's a pub pastime, not a sport. :(

More importantly, the taxman doesn't either....

And the Olympic committee class synchronised swimming as a sport, the fact that it is on Sky is due to it being seen as decent TV, and very cheap to televise , not because of it's sporting pedigree. The taxman will try and get his grubby paws on anything and class it as whatever suits to get his cut.

Sad news to report as the legendary commentator Dave Lanning has died after a short illness.:(
