DARTS fans will be in fine voice over the next few weeks with the World Championships around the corner.
The likes of Luke Littler and Michael van Gerwen will be looking to win the coveted Sid Waddell trophy that Luke Humphries picked up last year.
Darts fans will be up to their usual antics at the World Championships this year[/caption]But they’ll need all the support of the Ally Pally faithful to do so, and they’re certain to not disappoint.
Darts fans are known as some of the most passionate in the country and they have en entire library of songs they recite at tournaments, particularly the World Champs.
And ‘Don’t Take Me Home’ is certainly one of them.
Don’t take me home
Please don’t take me home
I just don’t wanna go to work
I wanna stay here and drink all your beer
Please don’t please don’t take me home
Don’t take me home
Please don’t take me home
I just don’t wanna go to work
I wanna stay here and drink all your beer
Please don’t please don’t take me home
The song is sung to the tune of Billy Ray Cyrus’ Achy Breaky Heart.
Well, the answer’s in the lyrics.
The World Darts Championships takes place across nearly three weeks with most of the action taking place on week days.
The majority of fans have to take time off work to attend the Ally Pally.
And the same goes for football supporters, particularly England fans during the Euros or the World Cup.
Thousands of England fans have had to take time off work to travel to major tournaments over the years, with numerous games taking place on week days.
And the longer England stay in the tournament, the longer those fans can support the Three Lions in person.
England fans and darts fans alike are pretty fond of beer, too.
