....to this Summer, for me it is the British Open at Carnoustie for several reasons, I was born 11 miles from the course, I hit my my first golf ball at four years old at Carnoustie, my Father was a member of the Carnoustie club, I saw Tiger Woods play when he was 16 at Carnoustie, I was there when Van Der Velde took seven on the last, my best round of golf not score wise was at Carnoustie. How many sports can you claim to have played on a World Wide Arena apart from Golf. BTW Carnoustie is run by the Council and a Season ticket when my Father was able to play was 75 pounds and then 5 pounds a round.
I remember that, talk about bottling it! Personally I always look forward to the cricket in the summer, whether it's county, one day or test cricket. When the sun is shining you can't beat it.
The one sporting event I am waiting for is when Lyngby BK hopefully manages to gain promotion to the Danish Super League. We are 7 points clear now with 7 to play but we lost our last match so Sunday will be key. In my mind we should be able to have things sorted by June 10th 3rd from last round. The Open is always something I follow and then there's the ChL final which I am looking forward to. Cricket - well I do follow england but a test series v. WI can't get the blood running.
off to two test matches, and a int 20 - 20 game, so im sorted. the west indies twice, and india once.
cant wait fo athletics on the tv love watching it and doing it and wimbledon aswell have to watch that as mum loves it though prefer to play tennis than watch it
I've got tickets for the golf at Wentworth, I'll enjoy the French Open, then Henley, then Wimbledon, although I haven't got tickets this year so will be queueing. Then I'll have a couple of weeks of catching up with all the things I didn't do because I was watching sport and then it will be time to start watching football again.
Wentworth is good , but the Open, if you spend the week up there it is special, Sunday until the following Monday is the only way to get the atmosphere with the build up etc. Only problem is the expense.
Would love to go to the Open at one point but I am looking forward to visiting the Millenium Stadium again for the Speedway Grand Prix on the 30th of June (always a top night our, 40,000 people at least)and going to see the F1 at Silverstone a couple of weeks before that to chear on the two local boys
I will be looking forward to the tour de france the most and also the british grand priz i went last year and it was great i hope the weather is great second time round.
Speedway, top man!! Forgot about that, as well as cricket Speedway is my summer sport. Come on Reading Bulldogs! (should still be Reading Racers really :rant: ).
Na, gotta be the Poole Pirates for me. Speedway along with cricket is my summer spectator sport as well. My dad once rode sidecar speedway in front of a full house at Wembly, not bad!
Impressive. Poole Pirates eh? The Man United of the speedway world! Actually now my parents have moved down to Dorset my Dad goes more to see Poole than Reading. However I refuse to go as I'm dissappointed with my Dad transfering his support! I did go and see Belle Vue though as I've a soft spot for them having lived in Manchester. P.S You have to be crazier than a Speedway rider to do some Sidecar racing, and that's saying something!
Like i said before I'm looking forward to the tour de france probably the hardest event in the world. Much more then 90 mins per day they make footballers look like fairy's.
Always look forward to the Open. A proper golf tournament. Never been to a major but went to the Saturday at the Ryder cup in 2002, waited an hour on one tee to watch Woods launch one and the git took an iron :dismay:. Going to a 20-20 evening at Lords, Middx v Essex one Friday. Wimbledon doesn't bother me either way, (Sharapova I'd watch but who wouldn't). If I wasn't holidaying I'd seriously consider Watford in Europe. Just caught 5 minutes of New Zealand v Australia netball action from Birmingham, where can I catch some of that this summer???
I'm looking forward to the Egg Chasing as it gives me an excuse to drink far too much and hurl abuse at the opposition and my Welsh mate.
Rugby world cup for me watching england go out in 1st round but ireland will win it:jumping1:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ahh speedway used to be a follower of Oxford until Uni took me away from the area and i started to lose touch with the sport. Hoping to get down to Cardiff this year, always a tremendous atmosphere even if the racing isn't always great. Managed to catch the last GP though and Nicki Pedersen is looking pretty untouchable, even for Crumpie. Not a fan of the new points scoring system in the GP though, seems stupid you can win the event and still not finish with the most points, another classic example of speedway shooting itself in the foot.
The rugby league and cricket for me. My rugby team has just beaten the Warrington Wolves so very happy. I am going upto Bradford next week for the game against the Bulls.
