Gerwyn Price hits out at darts chiefs and makes Ronnie O'Sullivan claim
Gerwyn Price has taken aim at the PDC after winning Night 12 of the Premier League Darts, with the 'Iceman' reiterating his claim that Rotterdam should be dropped as a venue
Gerwyn Price has renewed his call for the BetMGM Premier League’s night in Rotterdam to be gone with the wind - to a less draughty venue. The ‘Iceman’ won his third night of the 2025 season with a 6-4 win against world No.1 Luke Humphries in the final at Liverpool’s M&S Bank arena.
But Price is still bristling with anger at the way his darts wobbled in gusts of air on stage at Rotterdam’s Ahoy! forum seven days earlier - and he’s not just shooting the breeze about it.
The fiery Welshman wants the Professional Darts Corporation to look at other venues in Holland, saying: “Sometimes I do throw my toys out the pram when things don’t go my way. But I had a reason last week - we don’t deserve to play in those conditions.
“I know they say we have to be in Rotterdam every year, but surely they can find a venue where it’s fair for everyone? People say it’s the same for every player, but it definitely isn’t.
“If someone throws heavier darts, longer points, longer stems, thicker flights, it’s not the same for everyone. If you had the World Championship snooker now and lift one leg up on one end and one down on the other end, I’m sure Ronnie (O’Sullivan) wouldn’t be happy with that.”

And he believes top-of-the-table Luke Littler, whose collapse from 4-0 up against Michael van Gerwen stunned the hostile crowd, and Humphries will be looking over their shoulders.
Gezzy said: “I think they must have thought one of us hit a nine-darter - they were chucking pints everywhere and a little bit went on us.
“When I’m on my game I am the best in the world. Luke’s as good as he is, Michael is as good as he is on his day.
“But if I play my A game, they don’t beat me - and I think they know that as well. But it’s a question of which version of me turns up.
“I just want to make the top four, it doesn’t matter if it’s one, two, three or four. Just to be in the O2 next month, that’s my priority.
“But there’s no denying it, five points in Liverpool eases the pressure a little bit. I’m playing really well so there’s no reason why I can’t win every week.”
