25. FAVORITE SPORTS TO WATCH?

What sports do you follow, is it just a case of just watching on the TV, or have you been to watch your favorite sport live?

Do / have you spent lots of money going to watch your favorite sport?

I love boxing but yet to go and watch live only a matter of time though also any UFC of MMA.

Not really a football fan apart from the England games but mainly due the atmosphere it bring with!

Out of all the sports, I prefer motor sports, although don't mind cricket either, learnt to like that after years of having to watch it LOL

Only ever been to Santa pod to watch drag racing and banger racing, never been to see anything else would love to go to watch F1 or truck racing.

I to am not a big footy fan, just watch the big games, been in to it more after Mac chatting about Derby none stop!!
I have enjoyed following the FA Cup, when Mac runs a comp on it, maybe he will do one on here next year? Sometimes you will catch me watching MOTD.

I like Rugby and been to the Millennium Stadium many times to watch the six nations play.

Will watch most motor sport but follow F1, but apart from last year its been a little slow for a few years.

I been to Silverstone a few times as well, there’s nothing like going to see live sport.

I enjoy following MotoGP “will Rossi get his butt kicked again this year” ?
that’s for my-man Beaky, and question for you mate, (or anyone) they racing in the night this year?
First race I think?

Have watched the odd footy match. Been a season ticket holder with Derby County since 1985, been to 64 diff football grounds watching them
Also watch England occasionally and have been to Azerbaijan, Macedonia, Holland watching them. End of this month I'm off to France for the friendly game

Rugby, although when at school I played at county level I only ever went to 1 rugby match and that was one our teacher took us to. Would love to go to an England game at Twickers

Motor racing..............not a fan at all, and find it very boring 2 or 4 wheels:sleep:

Boxing, have been to a few amateur nights and really enjoyed them, never been to a professional fight. Would've loved to have gone to Vegas to see the Hatton fight, the atmosphere sounded superb

Moto GP and Liverpool FC:dance:

i love watching cricket live or tv, live its suberb get all day for your money(weather permitting) loadsa beer

Watched the F1 in spain once, so boring just a lot noise and the cars go past so quickly and you just end up watching it on the big screen anyhow..

Ghost, you've got me jealous, as I haven't been to the Millenium stadium, but I do love to watch rugby.
I also watch boxing, fishing programmes (is fishing accepted as sport?), I watch WWE (but only cos the kids do ), Cricket (love the twenty twenty series ), sometimes watch American Football, Baseball, and the occasional soccer match

Moving this question on….

If you love to watch a sport, what’s stopping you going to watch it live?
Money travel?
Or if you been where did you and what did you see?

live dominoes, slug racing and the footie mascot grand national

I am an avid follower of cricket in it's purest form...........5 day test matches

prefer 20/20 more pace more taking chances more fun!

Not too sure about "less skill"? The batsmen need to show they have a good sense of timin, and a damn good eye. The fielding team need to show extra skill, to try and keep the score as low as possible. There are many pro's and con's for all forms of cricket, but if you like to watch any of these, then it's your choice

Can someone please tell me what’s the difference, or what is a “5 day test matches” “20 20” ??

don’t you just try to get the other side out with less runs than you?

Ok a test match is played over 5 days 90 overs a day minimum,the teams have two innings each,the object is to score enough runs and then bowl the opposition out for less (as is 20-20) however four results are possible a win ,draw,tied game or obviously defeat.

20-20 is what it says on the tin,high speed 20 overs each wham bam game played in one day.....highest score wins

Thanks for that Hannegan,
think id agree with Lou, 20/20 sounds more fun, I guess like most sport the more you are into it you can appreciate and understand the true skill and hard work involved

Does cheese rolling class as a sport?


Re Ghost....your welcome mate,if your not big on cricket and just fancied a days summer sporting entertainment then 20-20 is the game to see

To some I guess
