RE: The Sport Thread - For stuff not worthy of a thread of its own - RhysJR - 02-01-2024
I'm not sure it will be organised at such short notice, but I've seen more outlandish ideas.

The Brewery Field can and does still host the occasional live game (i.e. when Penybont played in the Europa Conference League last summer) but going by all accounts today, it'll probably be a while until it gets to host URC rugby again.
Funnily enough, this season marks the 20th anniversary of the very brief life of the Celtic Warriors, but I digress.
A full replay of the breakdown below.
It's a shame that the day at Bridgend didn't work out because of the bad weather. The atmosphere and occasion of a full Brewery Field came across far better than a half empty Swansea.com Stadium that would have normally hosted that match. There were rumours of Swansea's St Helen's being used for more Ospreys games in future, so maybe they can try and do some work there if needed (it also hosts occasional Glamorgan cricket matches, though being next to the sea might not have been much better yesterday).

It looks like Viaplay Xtra has been removed from Samsung TV Plus.

Who is the presenter of the darts on Sky nowadays?

It seems to be Emma Paton, although Anna Woolhouse has stood in.
RE: The Sport Thread - For stuff not worthy of a thread of its own - Brekkie - 03-01-2024
Ah yes, Anna Woolhouse is the one I remember hosting previously. Think Laura Woods initially took over from Dave Clark but her star has well and truly risen since then.

I think Emma does it mainly these days as Anna is primarily the boxing presenter these days, but it has been Anna since Christmas.
RE: The Sport Thread - For stuff not worthy of a thread of its own - TMD_24 - 03-01-2024
Emma Parton is the main presenter with Anna Woolhouse and recently Michael Bridge doing other sessions.

Not sure about finals, but 1.4 million on New Year's Day apparently. Which is very good hoing for Sky Sports.

RE: The Sport Thread - For stuff not worthy of a thread of its own - Brekkie - 03-01-2024
I think finals have hit around 2m in recent years so based on Mondays figure that would look like it's going to be broken. The Traitors will probably be another victim of Luke Littler.

Yes, could see how hosting it at St Helen's might have posed similar infrastructure problems.
There has been some improved TV coverage of the Welsh Premiership over the past few seasons which has given both grounds some added exposure - though not quite enough to ensure dependable facilities in place to avoid the type of scenario we saw on New Year's Day.
No such problems in Cardiff when you have the Arms Park and the Principality Stadium next door to each other (guessing they have some kind of shared infrastructure in place)
Safe to say in terms of atmosphere, Cardiff Rugby learned their lesson after the frankly disastrous ground-share arrangement with Cardiff City over a decade ago.

Last year's final was the first to come close to the two million mark, according to this piece - interesting to note the relatively fluctuating numbers even in the past decade.

And yes, Paton is more or less Sky's lead darts anchor nowadays - usually with either Abigail Davies or Polly James conducting interviews.
RE: The Sport Thread - For stuff not worthy of a thread of its own - RhysJR - 03-01-2024
2.3 million for the darts last night per Eddie Hearn. Bigger than BBC One's audience at 9pm according to TV Zone, though The Tourist was already available on iPlayer.

I'm finding it a little ironic that Eddie Hearn is getting excited by viewing figures on Sky Sports when he moved his boxing nights off Sky to the far less popular DAZN.
