Sport!!!

just reading the thread "late transfer news..." and thought I'd show you how sport can be good.

I like my football and love watching my son train and play and now enjoy an afternoon out at the match with him or watching it on telly. He reads his Match magazine every week and gets really into it. But recently had two trips out with him to watch Rugby League, once at Headingley when we were camping and at Wembley last weekend at the Challenge Cup Final.

Final especially a really good atmosphere, family friendly, fans from all the clubs mixing together in the bars and around the ground. Dan has been made up with the accessabilty of everyone around the game. A bit more like local football but with players at the top of their game.

Dan with Ronnie the Rhino at Leeds





Met Mike 'Stevo' Stephenson the sky expert before the game whilst having a pint, nice fella



Then a few of the Wigan lads stopped for a photo outside the stadium, couldn't be better for him



Now that is sport, Wigan won with a player dislocating his shoulder first half, popped back in and out in the second half to play. Charnley broke two fingers, bone sticking out apparently, strapped up and play on. Always laugh now when I see footballers rolling around after a tap

Dan loved it as he was with the winning fans and I got stick for being a St Helens fan, all that at £4.50 a pint in Wembley

Great stuff Peter.

I know what you mean about the footballers who go down like they've been shot.

Is that a 2 pint pot you've got there or do you just have small hands

Great post Peter , it's nice to see the youngsters enjoying sports , some photos there that you wouldn't get at a footy match, players wrapped in cotton wool and ushered into the ground . Like Kieth say's thats one hell of a pint pot, but i reckon it's a shandy...

Aye get up close and listen to the thud as two forwards run into each other

2 pint pot for £7, not bad for London at the Premier Inn at Wembley Park. Had food and entertainment on and portaloos set up for the crowds. Good crack.

Aye but a decent team in red and white. If the papers are right Brucey won't be seeing much of the red and white for a while

Aye just switched over and saw the end of the British Superbikes championships. They've got some bottle as well! Goes down to the final race and there was 6/1000th of a second between them, at that speed
