Warrington Town chairman responds Toby Macormac after Luke Littler admits he’d love to invest in the National League North club.
Luke, also a Man Utd superfan, admitted to Daily Star Sport he would maybe one day purchase Warrington Town and their chairman, Toby Macormac, once said the club is “always open” to him.
The Yellows currently sit 22nd with 25 points from 29 games, and 1 point from safety and a game in hand. This is their second season of being in the sixth tier, having finished 13th last season with 64 points from 46 games.
Littler, already a millionaire at 18 years old, said that purchasing Warrington Town could be an “idea” for the future.
He explained: “It would be an investment for myself in the coming years.
“I’ve got a local team. Warrington Town, who are in National League North… Maybe that could be an idea for the future.”
Macormac said, per the Warrington Guardian: “The door is always open.
“What Luke has done to put the town on the map in a way it’s never been before has been unbelievable and he’s an inspiration for so many.
“We know he takes keen interest in our fortunes and we were delighted to see him attend a recent home game against Hereford – and even more delighted that he saw us win!
Meanwhile, his home town’s rugby league team Warrington Wolves will rename their stadium in honour of lifelong fan Luke Littler for one night only, to celebrate his recent successes.
Luke is to be the guest of honour on the night, will lead the teams out to the game and show off his trophy on the pitch at half-time.
“It’s an absolute honour and I can’t thank the club enough,” Luke said.
The Nuke is also currently promoting Specsavers Best Worst Team campaign, helping out Tunley Athletic who have lost all 26 of their games last season, with a goal difference of -137. And they’re struggling again this season.
He visited the club, played darts with the team, gave them advice on handling pressure, played a part in some football drills, and watched the first half of a 4-1 loss to Cheddar AFC.
‘I had a great laugh with the Tunley lads. I’ve always been a football fan myself, so it was nice to get on the pitch for a change and talk to them about how I prepare and block out the noise during a game,’ said Littler.
Giving the team advice, he said: ‘I’ve dealt with it throughout this year, just pressure, some of the biggest stages in darts. But for myself, you’ve just got to get your head down and work hard.
‘As long as you enjoy it, you shouldn’t feel any nerves. Obviously, if you’re 1-0 up and it’s first to five or six (in darts), you’ve always got to stay on the opponent and not give them any breathing room. It’s the same for you guys.
‘Me and my family, we just didn’t expect to get the limelight that I did when I got to the final. But I’m just getting used to things.
‘When they try to get on my back (those hurling abuse), I’ll just give it back and they don’t like it!’
Tunley sat 13th out of 14 in the Somerset County League Division 3, with four points after 12 games and a goal difference of -66 on the day.
They were losing 3-0 going into half-time – then Littler had to leave – before Tunley a goal back and conceding another in the second ha;lf.
Long-term manager Fear felt optimistic that his presence will make a difference.
‘Having Luke here was a breath of fresh air for the team – he’s world-class. We’ve been through a tough few seasons, but bringing in someone who knows what it takes to succeed under pressure and block out the noise is exactly what we needed,’ said Fear.
‘Luke’s insights have been invaluable – not just for the lads on the pitch every week, but for the entire club’s mentality moving forward. We’re really starting to believe that we can turn it all around.’
