The fans are in fine voice.
We’ve had the first rendition of “please don’t take me home” and now it’s “stand up if you love the darts”.

VoiceOfTheMysterons: Luke Littler has been planning for tonight from day one, and the only chance for the others would seem to be if they can ambush him on some sort of off-night.
Littler 0-0 Price
We've heard from both men and they've both had a few warm-up darts.
Littler to throw first... game on!
Littler v Price
Luke Littler talking to Sky Sports: "The nerves will kick in when I walk out into the sold out O2 Arena. The adrenaline will kick in then.
"I'll practice on the doubles and the scoring and make sure that everything is going alright in the final couple of hours.
"The longer format and game suits me and I just can't wait to get out there."
Littler v Price
Gerwyn Price talking to Sky Sports: "I'm not thinking of previous games against Luke [Littler], I'm more thinking of previous big-tournament matches, semi-finals and finals, where I've won. Sometimes my back has been against the wall and I've come out fighting. Whether I am ahead of behind I'll keep fighting until the end. I've got the experience and I'm ready for it.
"For me this is just another tournament. I'll practise and prep like I usually do and hopefully i'll bring my A-game like I usually do."

Boos for Gerwyn Price as he is announced but he hardly seemed to notice.
Real game face from the Welshman before a little smile as he walks on… then he gives it the big one to the crowd when he reaches the stage.
Littler v Price
Image source, PA MediaSpeaking of walk-on songs, they have just started for this match.
Gerwyn Price is up first, there's a few boos for the Welshman.
On paper, Luke Littler is the favourite. But it is Price who has the better head-to-head record out of the two of them.
Littler is given the better reception, but there is an air of serious tension around the O2 Arena.
It's one of the best bits of darts - the walk-on music.
Teenage star Luke Littler comes out to American rapper Pitbull's 2016 tune 'Greenlight' which features a catchy "wee-oh, wee-oh, wee-oh, wee-oh, oh, oh" chorus which gets the crowd pumping.
Gerwyn Price strides to the oche to Vanilla Ice's 'Ice Ice Baby' which was released back in 1990 and allows the fans to tap into their love of puns by chanting "Price Price Baby".
Although his family hail from Berkshire, Luke Humphries loves all things Leeds. So unsurprisingly his walk-on song is from English indie-rock band the Kaiser Chiefs, who hail from the city. 'I Predict A Riot' is his anthem of choice.
American rock band The Killers provide the backdrop to Nathan Aspinall's entrance via their 2003 debut hit single 'Mr. Brightside'.
Littler v Price (19:15 BST)
Image source, Simon O'ConnorChasing a second Premier League title in a row, current world champion Luke Littler has found things pretty easy in the world of darts since making his professional debut at the 2024 World Darts Championship.
The closest 'The Nuke' has come to struggling against one individual player is against Gerwyn Price.
'The Iceman' has faced Littler 13 times so far, with Price leading 7-6 in their head-to-head record.
But of Price's seven wins, six were in back-to-back matches between June 2024 and March 2025 including their first two meetings in this season's Premier League.
Littler has won their past two matches in 6-3 victories, ending the nine-month losing streak he had against his semi-final opponent.
While scoring is important, so too is taking out checkouts and winning legs.
Here is how all eight players fared in their checkout percentages during the regular season.
