(opens the publisher’s site)Luke Littler has threatened to stop playing in the Netherlands after being booed and whistled at during the World Series of Darts Finals in Amsterdam.
- Littler was booed during Friday's win over home favourite Danny Noppert, and referee Charlie Costorphine halted Saturday's match against Nathan Aspinall to warn the crowd.
- He told Online Darts he is "100 percent" prepared to boycott events in the Netherlands, having already stopped playing European Tour events in Germany.
- Littler said there was no point travelling to get booed, and that he had walked off stage both nights without thanking anyone.
- He defeated Aspinall in a last-leg decider, keeping alive his bid to win all 10 major televised tournaments in a calendar year.
