Warrington name their stadium after Luke Littler for one night. Is this a new low for the sport, a leading club simping for a chuffing’ darts player?

A world champion dart player who is the highest profile sportsman outside football right now. And he's local.

For one day (when he is attending the game) I think it's good marketing.

To be fair he’s a massive Warrington fan, hence his choice of shirt and as PT points out he’s up there with popularity at the moment I wish he was from Wakefield,

Although I know what you mean P T- is darts a 'sport' ?I personally feel there has to be some physical contribution to be a sport.
Darts is a game - you only have to look at some of the participants to see that the only exertion some have had is lifting a pint or three - just my opinion of course!

From an Australian viewpoint I can honestly say the I wouldn't be able to pick him out from a line up of suspects.... bowls is a more popular pastime here than darts

claiming 'world champion' is akin to American baseball claiming 'world series'... it has no validity outside the UK (currently)
