Gerwyn Price demands PDC stop going to Rotterdam after Premier League defeat

has demanded the PDC drop Rotterdam as a venue after his defeat to Nathan Aspinall this week, insisting it is "not good for the players". The Welshman was beaten 6-3 by rival Aspinall and appeared to suggest that the Dutch venue did not favour both men.

Price went out to Aspinall in the quarter-final on Night 11 in the Netherlands but wasn't impressed by the arena he played in as he released a message on his story admitting he was "gutted" with his performance and the result.

He apologised for his under-par display and insisted his trip to Rotterdam was "pointless" and "not what I wanted" as far as his Darts ambitions were concerned.

But he used the opportunity to urged the PDC to seek out another venue after being left less than impressed with his visit to the Rotterdam Ahoy.

"Gutted for myself, gutted for everyone who supports me," he said. "I'm so sorry but this week was pointless and we move to next week. Darts were blowing everywhere and after leg one, which was lucky, I knew it [was] pointless. And where I was in the league after vital points it's not what I wanted.

"Hopefully @officialpdc will now stop coming here and look for alternative venues. Not good for the players, not good for the fans, and not good for people that like a bet. Onto next week where we get to play in decent conditions.

In a separate Instagram story, Price implied the venue favoured Aspinall as he wrote: "And if you think it's the same for both players your [sic] as daft as you look."

Meanwhile, Luke Humphries was also beaten after losing 6-3 to Chris Dobey, while home favourite Michael van Gerwen lost 6-5 to Stephen Bunting in the biggest shock of the night.

Aspinall's victory set up a semi-final tie with Dobey, while Bunting progressed to set up a meeting against Luke Littler in four mouthwatering match-ups.

Littler himself had beaten Rob Cross, taking out 145 to win 6-5, leaving fans baffled on social media. One wrote: "In the nicest way possible, Luke Littler is an absolute freak."

Another wrote: "YOU CANT DO THINGS LIKE THAT LUKE LITTLER," as a third said: "Luke Littler that is utterly ridiculous... take a bow."

Dobey would go on to book his place in the final after a 6-2 win over Aspinall - despite his rival threatening a comeback from 3-0 down.
