Do you go to sporting events?

I am sat here dog sitting at home watching New Zealand V France in the rugby world cup quarter final, and the wife is at the game!
The match is being played in Cardiff, which is about 30 miles away from us, close to where she works. Earlier in the week one of her contacts at work invited her to go as they had a spare ticket!
She has just sent me this picture as a reminder of where she is - anyone would think that she is the rugby fan and not me!

@destry 64-19 but Namibia never gave up. They still managed 3 tries and the game was exciting throughout. We saw both the Rugby League world cup semis a couple of years back and after an amazing England-NZ game, Australia turned the second semi into a deeply boring game and a total walk over.

@swissheart No, never watched as such, just seen as flicking through the channels

Tennis has never really appealed to me for some reason. Borris Becker is about the only tennis player I know of :)

Nascar is something that we don't have over here in the UK. The only time we ever hear of it is in one liner jokes involving red-necks and hill-billies. Does it really have that reputation over there?

I used to regularly watch my beloved Newcastle United but since moving away from Newcastle almost 30 years ago I rarely get the chance to go. I love live football though so I've adopted my local team, the mighty Chadderton FC who are only about 6 divisions below the Football League in England. Crowds average about 50 to 60 (that's actually 50 to 60 NOT 50 to 60 thousand!!) but it's proper old-fashioned football not the prancing around like show-pony nonsense that gets served up at the higher levels these days.

Does school sport's day count? If so I've been to more than a few of those
