I was at a basho in 1999. Did you get an 'autograph'?
Sumo autographs are awesome. Instead of wasting time writing their name, they place their hand in ink, then slap it down on a card so you get their huge paw print. Much more interesting than an autograph I think and probably a lot quicker for them to pump out a couple of hundred for the paying masses. I got Terao's.

I have quite a few of the tegata, including Terao's (he was the housewife's favourite for his looks ;)).  No idea where they are now, but will have to dig them out and get them on the wall (also have Musashimaru, Takanohana, Wakanohana, Kyokushuzan, Chiyotaikai and Kaio).

Well I guess we were at the same Basho then!
I was there for the September basho. One of the earlier days, can't remember exactly but Akebono was already injured so I didn't get to see him, which was a shame.
Terao was my favourite, not for his looks(!), but cos he was so small compared to most of them and still more than held his own.

I liked Kyokushuzan for the same reasons. He was also the first Mongolian to make it into the top pro ranks. His nickname was the department store, because of his range of techniques, but the governing body told him to stop using a lot of his throws that were unorthodox as they risked injury to his opponents.

Want to go back now!

Not seen it mentioned yet, 'el super classico' Boca Juniors vs River Plate at La Bombonera.

Its number 1 on this list http://observer.guardian.co.uk/osm/story/0,,1182710,00.htm but dont´t believe that its only a few quid to get in.

I attended last Sunday and it´s the most intense atmosphere I´ve ever witnessed. If your ever in BA when this fixture is on, you MUST attend!

Video found on youtube from Sunday´s 1-1 draw. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsUBXOXoc64 The game stopped 30 mins into the second half so the fans can have a bit of a sing song and fireworks display.

I must have been to over 50 Glasgow derbies and the atmosphere was never flat! My first one saw Butcher, Woods and McAvennie all end up in court after some hand bags with a 9 man Rangers equalise in injury time and that was one of the quieter  ones.

It's worth going to if you're HK don't get me wrong.

Amazing and unique venue for racing, really stunning. Definitely worth going just to see that.

But on the two occasions I was there there was zero atmosphere.

Went to Sha Tin too, and that was even worse (even though the quality of racing was 100 times better).

Yeah not exactly a fan of animal cruelty. Prefer watching two consenting adults pound lumps out of each other for my evening's entertainment


Edit: Not like that, Millidonk.

Barca v Real would have to be at the Bernabeu its a much better stadium than the Camp Nou with a better atmosphere. (Sorry I know its your list but the Camp Nou really is rather shit).

Final day of deciding test of the Ashes in Australia.
England game in ko stages of Rugby/Football World Cups, pref the final but million to that ever happening with football.
Last day of Ryder Cup.
Rio Olympics.

Men's Tennis final in a slam a close 6th.

Ofc if talking total fantasy then my top 5 would be being there to see Newcastle winning CL, Prem, F.A Cup and England winning World Cup and Euro's.

Too hard to order them but:

- Augusta (I guess final day but not fussed)
- Big Lions game in southern hemisphere
- Superbowl
- Big boxing/MMA fight in Vegas
- Some sort of championship cock fight in South America

(last one prob a bit controversial but went to one on honeymoon in Bali and was buzzing)

buy  @ "bit controversial"

Bear fighting, badger baiting, fox hunting and dog fighting are fun too I hear.

Bull fighting probably bigger but wasn't a fan of that. Nearly got beaten up for cheering on the bull.
