phil taylor darts

whilst there is no question he is the greatest dart player ever why in competitions does he get preferential treatment to all the other dart players.
the case being the british open which was played over the weekend. 7 boards being used plus the no:1 board for tv use on sky phil taylor played all his games on board 1 and is always last on, how is this so why did he never get an outside board like everyone else did bit of bias i reckon cmon PDC he wins enough as it is stop bending over backwards for him give all the other players the same deal!! also the premier league 9/10 he is last on why cant he go 1st for a change!!

I think he gets the same sort of preferential treatment in the same way as e.g. Federer and Nadal in the big tennis tournaments. You are number one, and therefore the major draw for audiences. It is up to others to knock the guy off his perch and earn the right to the same treatment. BTW.....Is Mervyn King a bit of an ar$e? He strikes me as the sort of bloke who could start an argument in an empty room.

lol make u right, tho wayne mardle makes me laugh great entertainer rubbish dart player+nasty shirts!!

lesblue is right.

Taylor is the biggest draw in darts, they put him on last because if they put him on first, people would switch off after his game. They put all his games on the tv so No1 board.

Its a bit like asking why the "big 4" are always on the telly and not Wigan and Fulham

[BOBBYPERU]

But, Wigan and Fulham are s**t as wellDave
