Brighton’s Centre has sold out yet again as the Premier League’s travelling circus pitches up on May fifteen for Night Fourteen. Coastal crowds have developed a reputation for raucous support and confetti‑laden entrances, and players routinely cite Brighton as one of the loudest stops outside Cardiff.
Gerwyn Price and Luke Humphries headline the evening’s card in a quarter‑final with title implications. Price needs a deep run to keep pace with Littler; Humphries still searches for a first nightly crown despite a tour‑leading average. Their clash has the bookmakers split—Price’s ferocity against Humphries’ metronomic scoring.
Luke Littler tackles Peter Wright in the opener, and the teen phenom has spoken of turning Brighton blue with maximums. Wright, for his part, debuted a seagull‑patterned shirt on social media to celebrate the seaside venue and joked that it comes with built‑in luck charms.
Michael van Gerwen meets Rob Cross in a fixture that always carries narrative, not least because Cross lives thirty miles along the coast in Hastings and expects partial home backing. MVG’s record nightly wins stand at fifty seven; Cross has upset him three times in six attempts on the south coast.
Season maths dictate urgency: only two nights will remain after Brighton. The south‑coast fireworks will either tighten a tense top‑four logjam or grant one marquee name breathing space heading into Birmingham.
