Any why do you think that is ...because they got the product right then the sponsors came in meaning more money and bigger crowds ..the standard got higher because of the extra money and because more players became full time .
In 1993 Darts was dead in the water a bit like speedway was but that has all changed now ... I see Hearn is doing a great job with Snooker after it was also dead in the water as well .. the .trouble with speedway is that it is a closed shop and the likes of frost etc get forced out by the old guard .
