A Visit to the Blackpool Winter Gardens...

Yesterday saw the final of the Professional Darts Corporation's World Matchplay, in the lovely seaside town of Blackpool.  Having competed in the event myself a number of times, I do feel that the historic Winter Gardens is perhaps the greatest darts venue ever.

With regard to the tournament itself, it has proved one of the most successful for British players.  In its 22-year history, only twice has the winner come from outside the UK, and on both occasions, the losing finalist was English.
