Michael van Gerwen has called on Gerwyn Price' s ear defenders to be banned, with the noise of the crowd watching on 'part of the game'. Price took on Germany's Gabriel Clemens at the Alexander Palace in the quarter-final of the World Championship.
As is often the case, pantomime villain Price received a raucous reception from the famous Ally Pally crowd. During his final eight clash, Price found himself with work to do with Clemens 3-1 up in the clash.
In an effort to claw back his concentration and muffle out the lively crowd noise, Price returned to the oche in ear-defenders for the fifth set, to the shock of everybody in the arena.
