The only reason I married Mr.VS was because his mother had debenture tickets for Murrayfield. Yeh, Twickenham would've been better, but she's a Scot so...
We watched the Six Nations there in April 2000. England had already won the cup, and Scotland hadn't won a game (I think). Anyway, Scotland won and I was so disappointed I got appendicitis! It actually burst, and thanks to Perth Royal Infirmary I lived to tell the tale.
Rugby is exciting, so is MotoGP and (sometimes, hopefully more so this year) F1. For me football is boring - but the rest of my family would kill me for saying that. They even arrange their holidays so that they don't miss a vital Ipswich Town match.

Whatever BB, you still saw a pretty outstanding bunch of British Boxers at their peak! Khan may get there, Calzaghe is and Hatton was never destined to be, despite the hype.
Yes indeed. My wife and I had a fantastic 12 months. Only trouble was that whenever trouble broke out in the crowd, she would always be at the centre of it; usually stood on a chair hitting anybody within her reach. Funilly enough, nobody ever hit her back
I went through a 'non-Rugby' period for a few years. My enthusiasm was re-generated when my son started playing at school, which then evolved in to him playing for one of the better club sides in the area.
Mind you, I don't think I would have wasted a ticket on Rugby - I tried to use the tickets on something either a bit different, or something I couldn't generally afford.

Yet Hatton was a more exciting fighter than Calzaghe ever was and Khan ever will be.
Hey Randy,are you any good at installing tv's. You could install every bloody match at Twickers and then i wouldn't have to.
Was at the baabaa's match(no not Baabaa)a couple of months ago. After the game, folks were wandering around outside the bar areas and wow!!!! all of a sudden one god almighty fight broke out. I don't mean a scuffle but one hell of a fight between 30ish people.We stood on the 4th floor watching it all until the police arrived in force(a couple of vans) and eventually broke it up. And i was told there's never any trouble at egg chasing games!!!!!!
On the subject of cricket, I've never been a fan but I've tried watching some of the third test due to the fact that it was being shown in the bar, and it is pretty dull.
How you can play a sport all day for five days and after three days everyone already knows it's going to be a draw is beyond me.
If you played any other sport for that long you would be lucky to see a draw once in a hundred years, but somehow they've managed to come up with one where you can get two in three games!

Ive been to hundreds of games and never ever seen a fight. I think thats pretty amazing seeing as there is no crowd segragation and a lot of drinking is done...
I suppose there is always the odd exception though...
