Phil 'The Power' Taylor believes his games with Raymond van Barneveld are the biggest nights on the Premier League of Darts fixture list. The 13-times world champion meets the Dutchman on Thursday in Nottingham.
Taylor told BBC Radio Stoke: "It's a big game when I play Barney. That's why we meet in two huge venues.
"We always have great games. He took my world title from me, which was my fault. Now I'm working hard on the practice board to get that back."
Around 6,000 revellers are expected to pack into the Nottingham Arena, and Taylor says the game has changed enormously since the days of 500 fans at Lakeside.
"It's very noisy, and you do get your odd idiot in there, so it's something we've had to adjust to," he added.
