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)

The world number 8 is Australian.
You are out of date on the darts Spooky. It isn't just an English game at all.

But either way, they are not publicising across the world. They have a local lad who is known across the country who likes rugby.
Why would you not try and use his name to publicise your own sport.

It doesn't matter what it is. He brings publicity.
