    Going to say no, because most of them have gout, and its a fairly long walk to the loo.

    Tbf, you can do that for most sports.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    The darts is irrelevant. Just a good excuse to wear something silly, get p!shed and have sing song.

    That "Not the Nine O'clock news" sketch finished TV darts almost overnight when it was first shown. The sponsors all dropped it, and it's taken a long while to recover.

    It may have done some damage but the BBC expanded coverage of the sport the year after it screened (1980) and the early 80s were years of growth for the sport - Bristow, Lowe, Wilson, Deller et al
