Luke Littler threatens to boycott darts events in the Netherlands after fans boo and whistle at him during the World Series of Darts Finals in Amsterdam. The reports say he receives a hostile crowd response while competing, including during matches he wins.
BBC News and The Guardian report that the situation escalates enough to prompt on-court intervention, with referee Charlie Costorphine stepping in during Littler’s last-16 win over Nathan Aspinall. The Guardian quotes Littler saying he will not play if conditions in the Netherlands remain the same. The Independent similarly describes the booing and heckling from Amsterdam supporters, including during his win over Dutch player Danny Noppert.
Across the outlets, the core point is consistent: Littler publicly signals he may stop playing in the Netherlands due to the crowd treatment he experiences at this tournament, which is part of the wider World Series of Darts events.
