Army, are you surprised Littler price is still near 5/1 after winning first major ? I’d have thought he’d have gone much shorter even with Young Spoty hanging over him ?

Army
What we post a few months ago is how we saw things a few months ago. I think it's generally accepted that spoty winners tend to have a higher profile than keely has maintained over past 3 months. Her layers must be delighted. |

prices are immaterial, they will only mean something when the list is out

Could be fun and games once we all know who's 'playing' for this
|

By:
Nothing official as far as i know, rumours its the 15th from one source. In recent times the list has been out between 19 days before the award and once it was announced a day before the award.
So its anyones guess still |

The market on here usually tells you the list before
it's published, hence my conspiracy thoughts on the market throughout. They usually leave another person "in" to try to hide that they've cleaned up... |

So its anyones guess still Yes, beeb not exactly an 'open' type of organisation either - they don't even give out the results after, the tw@ts. |

After Littlers latest major win the bells are already ringing all over SM for him to win SPOTY, media stories about him right now are going through the roof. At this point its only fans that are talking about SPOTY that i have noticed, but i would imagine him being left off would quickly be all over the tabloids and skysports/media.
With the serious lack of Keely momentum around the BBC since her win, i don't see any sense for the BBC to want him off the list considering the bad publicity the corporation has had in recent years. Maybe before his latest win it may not have caused much uproar, some probably. But now its a different story it would be headline news i don't think the BBC would want. Especially considering this kid is one of the biggest sports story ever this country has seen for what he's doing at such a young age. Young SPOTY would keep some of the fans/media happy but not all of them, i think Sky sports would be proper p1ssed, as would Barry Hearn and the sun newspaper to name but a few and there not small players and would cause the BBC a right headache over it. |

Also forgot to add all the SPOTY articles this year, that have had Littler at the forefront. I can't see the journo's being that impressed there expert knowledge was overlooked by some underhanded play.
two more written since his win . https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/sports-personality-2024-award-odds-favourite-b2649946.html . https://www.sportinglife.com/darts/news/sports-personality-of-the-year-odds-luke-littler-second-favourite-to-win-bbcs-spoty-behind-olympic-champion-keely-hodgkinson/221898 |

By:
The shorter his price the more of a stink it would cause as well
They'd be pretty much handing the award to Keely and making the night a non event as it has been for the last 3 years where winners are concerned. They will never get a better chance to install fresh new young blood into the program |

By:
Worlds darts championship on all over christmas with record audiences expected, talking about Littler being left off the list, and how the BBC hate darts and why its treated not as a proper sport etc etc
Why would they do that to themselves ? Especially after publishing so many stories on Littler |
|
By:
Anyone backing him knows the risk. It’s a pub game and he’s arguably not even best player. Plus 1-100 to win Young Spoty unless you provide realistic alternatives.
Olympic year and we have maybe greatest 800m runner ever. Marquee event in sport. Keely should be 1.01 when you think about it. |

You boys need to keep up. It’s the SJA awards.
Sportswoman of the Year Award WINNER: Keely Hodgkinson And it's the 800m Olympic champion who takes the Sportswoman of the Year award for 2024. “It’s really nice to get that recognition from people who enjoyed watching Paris hopefully as much as I enjoyed competing," Hodgkinson told Sky Sports News from winter training. “It’s an honour to receive the award. “It’s been a [year] full of highs and lows, but the highs have been incredible and I just want to keep pushing the boundaries of the women’s 800m, seeing how fast we can go and seeing how may more medals we can pick up. “So lots of fun to come.” |

Oh dear. Littler won breakthrough not men’s award.
The Peter Wilson Award for Breakthrough Athletes WINNERS: Luke Littler and Poppy Maskill The Peter Wilson Award, named after one of Fleet Street's greatest sports writers, is given to the Breakthrough Athletes of the Year - one male and one female. Luke Littler has enjoyed a stunning, headline-grabbing debut year as a professional on the PDC Tour, winning 10 tournaments - including last week's Grand Slam of Darts. British swimmer Poppy Maskill, meanwhile, enjoyed her own stellar year on the world stage and won three golds and two silvers in the pool at the 2024 Paralympics in Paris. |

Sportsman of the Year Award
Winner: Alex Yee The winner of the Sportsman of the Year Award is triathlete Alex Yee, who won Olympic gold in the men's individual triathlon in Paris on the back of a year in which he also became world champion for the first time in this year's World Triathlon Championship Series. Receiving the award live on Sky Sports News, Yee said: "I got the silver [individual] medal in Tokyo and the last three years have all about going one better and look within myself to try and improve and how to can that. "For a lot of the race it looked like I was maybe going to repeat my feats of the last Olympics, and to have that magic moment at the end was really, really special and to take that gold medal." |

If Sports Journalists think Littler is a breakthrough winner. Young Spoty is even more or less likely

Yee cleaned out top 3 to 1.01

In 2023, the SJA Sportsman of the Year was England cricketer Stuart Broad; the Sportswoman was Lionesses goalkeeper Mary Earps; and Treble winners Manchester City FC were named Team of the Year.
1st and 2nd in SPOTY. Army will have kittens when he sees this. |

The 2024 contenders
SJA members have a free vote to select their ‘best of British’ from the sporting successes of the past 12 months. Young sportswriters from the SJA Academy help to present the case for some of the leading candidates, based on the strength of their achievements. Their picks for this year were: Sportsman Jude Bellingham (football) - won the UEFA Champions League and LaLiga with Real Madrid, and helped England reach the Euro 2024 final Alfie Hewett (wheelchair tennis) - claimed the first Wimbledon singles title of his career and won gold and silver medals at the Paris Paralympics Luke Littler (darts) - won the Premier League and World Series titles and was runner-up in the World Championship Lando Norris (F1) - the McLaren driver was victorious at three Grands Prix and has challenged for the world title Tom Pidcock (cycling) - retained his Olympic mountain-biking title in thrilling fashion and won cross-country bronze at the World Championships Joe Root (cricket) - became England's highest Test run-scorer of all time and has now hit more than 50 international centuries Alex Yee (triathlon) - won the Olympic individual title and the World Championship series title, both for the first time in his career |
