Teenage darts player Luke Littler says he may boycott events in the Netherlands after being booed and whistled during the World Series of Darts Finals in Amsterdam. Multiple reports describe a hostile crowd as Littler plays, including during his wins over Dutch players Danny Noppert and Nathan Aspinall.
The incidents are reported across the outlets as occurring over consecutive days, with the atmosphere escalating from heckling during Friday’s match to further crowd hostility on Saturday night. The Guardian adds that a referee, Charlie Costorphine, steps in during Littler’s last-16 win over Aspinall. While the Independent and BBC focus on Littler’s threat of a potential boycott, they agree the reaction he received was linked to repeated booing from Amsterdam fans.
Overall, the coverage centers on a breakdown in matchday support for the home crowd setting, and Littler’s public response, framed as a conditional withdrawal from future Dutch tournaments if the behaviour continues.
