Price’s name was regularly chanted by fans during his triumph over Gawlas. <\/p>\n
The 40-year-old has previously been the recipient of boos from the Alexandra Palace crowd, although the former rugby player stated the support from the supporters in attendance gave him a huge lift in the first round.<\/p>\n
“What a crowd. I don’t get that all the time, but for the last 12 to 18 months, maybe a little bit longer, the crowd has been fantastic to me,” added Price.<\/p>\n
“Just walking on, sometimes you can feel the hairs on the back of your neck standing up.<\/p>\n
“I don’t normally get that at Ally Pally, but I was looking forward to it this year, and it showed why. They were right behind me. <\/p>\n
“I felt confident in the game, but when the crowd’s behind you, you get that extra 10%.”<\/p>\n
Price faces Dutchman Wesley Plaisier in the second round on Sunday, 21 December.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
