PAFirst-team regulars Dan Burn, Sean Longstaff and Harvey Barnes brushed shoulders with other darts fans as they watched Littler lose to Michael van Gerwen in the semi-final.
Team-mates Mark Gillispie, Paul Dummett, Elliot Anderson and Matt Targett were also in attendance, with the latter beaming as he watched on with interest.
Fans were quick to point out that the players had bottles of water on their table rather than beer, which they found amusing.
One reacted saying: “The English lads are out. Bottles of water all round.”
Another added: “Notice all the bottles of water 
”
A third wrote: “Not a pint between them.”
And another joked: “Watching real world class athletes for a change!”
Newcastle boss Eddie Howe was unaware six of his players were at the darts, and joked he hoped they were in fancy dress.

He said: “I wasn’t aware of that so, erm… you’ll need to give me a list of names please. Hopefully it wasn’t a late night?
“Maybe they should’ve been in fancy dress…”
Van Gerwen beat Littler 6-5 in another narrow Premier League clash in Newcastle.
The Dutchman went on to win the final against Nathan Aspinall to secure victory for the third consecutive night.
Van Gerwen extended his lead at the top of the table but Littler remains in a play-off position after he beat Peter Wright in the quarter-final.
