Chris Dubey admits he wouldn’t have been in the quarter-finals of the PDC World Championship if it weren’t for the Alexandra Palace crowd.
Dubey came from behind to beat Kevin Dotts 4-3 on Monday and book his place in the last eight. Annual darts tournament.

He has now reached the quarter-finals for the third year in a row at Alli Pali, although it has not been easy for the 34-year-old.
Dutts won the fourth and fifth sets to ensure that his opponent would have to win the sixth set to stay in the match.
Dubey did just that before taking the seventh and final set, saying afterwards that he would “take the dirt if he needs to”.
However, the fans inside the iconic north London venue played their part in his victory, something he is clearly grateful for.
Speaking to TalkSPORT Breakfast, he said: “To be honest, yesterday I think it was the crowd that got me through that match.
They supported us from the middle of the game and when you have them on your side, you don’t want to let them down, you try for the extra two or three percent.
“Like I said, if it wasn’t for them, I probably wouldn’t have made it through.”
Dobey returns to Uche on New Year’s Day to face the former world champion Gruen Price to appear in the semi-finals
The Welshman has beaten Joe Cullen and Johnny Clayton on his way to Kane Barry next roundand will certainly provide a serious test.
Although Dobey isn’t reading too much into the matchup, he knows he’ll have to overcome his issues with Doets in order to beat Price.

Asked how he felt about facing the 2021 champion, he replied: “It doesn’t bother us.
Whatever happens on the day, hopefully I can get my training routine right and double them up and start hitting them earlier than I did yesterday.
But yeah, I’m looking forward to it, I’m looking forward to the challenge and hopefully I can win.
Dubey is set to face Price in the first match tomorrow afternoon before Michael van Gerwen takes on Callan Rydes.
The winners will meet in the semi-finals with Peter Wright v Stephen Bunting and Luke Littler v Nathan Aspinall in the other two matches.
