Darts tips from the tungsten heartland
Darts is Britain’s most sociable sport — a game forged in village pubs, polished on county circuits, and raised to a roar at Alexandra Palace every December. Between the chalk and the oche, it is also one of the most analysable sports on the planet.
Tungshire brings you considered, locally-rooted coverage of every major PDC fixture, with the warmth of a proper local and the care of a seasoned caller. Fixtures, form, and a pint’s-worth of wisdom — all in one place.

The darts season sprawls across the calendar with the rhythm of a good pub crawl — a few early-year majors, a steady summer build on the holiday coast, and a climactic run home through autumn into the Palace lights.
Our analysis follows the paper-trail carefully: form on specific boards, doubles-percentages under pressure, crowd effects, and quirks of each venue’s stage. Darts is a game of inches; our readings try to be, too.
From the sea air of Blackpool to the proud banners of Wolverhampton, each stop has its own personality. We try to tell you what the room feels like — because at darts, the room always matters.
What we bringTwo commitments, etched on the slate
Peerless analysis from the front of house
We read each tournament as a publican reads a weekend — tracking form, form-lines, checkout percentages and the subtler rhythms of who’s throwing clean and who’s wobbling on doubles. Our match previews combine statistics with the things statistics cannot yet measure: room, crowd, stage.
A crowd of connoisseurs, civilly met
Tungshire’s community is built on considered debate and a proper British sense of humour. Share your predictions, argue the finer points of a nine-darter, and meet other dart-lovers who value clarity over clamour. We keep the comment boards, like the best pubs, both lively and lovely.
Throwing a dart and making a prediction share a quiet secret — both call for a steady hand, a clear mind, and the good sense to know when to aim for the treble and when to settle for the outer ring.

Treat a tip as entertainment
Every prediction is a piece of opinion, not a promise. Take our analysis as you would a mate’s confident shout from across the bar — worth hearing, worth weighing, worth taking with a pinch.
Set your limits before the first throw
Decide how much time and money you can cheerfully spare before you start. Hold that line when things get exciting — darts is long, your evening is long, your week is long.
Keep a clear head at the oche
Never wager under the weight of a strong emotion. Anger, elation and fatigue blur judgement the way a bright lamp blurs a doubles-top. Come back when the room is quieter.
