I've just managed to acquire the ability to watch live Premiership matches and my team Sheffield Utd are doing really well to boot. Snooker. The only sport I can talk about on here with a modicum of authority. Golf. My eldest daughter and I love the big events, we pick half a dozen players and have a little bet. Mad scenes if were in with a shout on the last few holes. Title: Re: What sport or single sporting event are you missing or likely to miss the most?

Title: Re: What sport or single sporting event are you missing or likely to miss the most? Post by: Karabiner on March 30, 2020, 04:38:23 PM I miss playing golf the most by far although I've been on an unbelievable heater betting on it this year.
The good thing is I've not had a chance to lose any back. Title: Re: What sport or single sporting event are you missing or likely to miss the most? Post by: celtic on March 30, 2020, 04:41:29 PM Football and the Snooker World Championship.
Not sporting, but I kinda enjoy the WSOP (updates and build up to the Main) (even though I think I'm the only person on here that dislikes Vegas) Title: Re: What sport or single sporting event are you missing or likely to miss the most?

Social distancing isn't remotely a problem. No human would have to go without 2 metres of each other throughout the entire meeting. No jockeys racing like on the horses.

This is a biggy for me, have resorted to playing Greyhound Manager 2 for my fix. Obviously missing the football, and the UFC is another one I'm gutted isn't running. Missing playing/managing my futsal team too - Thursdays just aren't the same. Title: Re: What sport or single sporting event are you missing or likely to miss the most? Post by: HutchGF on March 30, 2020, 05:01:12 PM I'll be devastated if the World Matchplay doesn't happen in my hometown of Blackpool in July. It falls in the school holidays and I generally go 5-6 times over the week.
So many happy (although a bit hazy) memories. Title: Re: What sport or single sporting event are you missing or likely to miss the most? Post by: Sheriff Fatman on March 30, 2020, 05:05:48 PM Missing my weekly parkrun fix, as much for the community as for the actual runs.
Abandonment of the football season would appear to be the best hope of Barnsley playing Championship football next year, and this season has been painful to endure, so I'm not missing football in the slightest at the moment. From a spectator perspective, I love the Olympics, so that's the one that I'll miss watching on TV this year.

Interesting watch for the next few weeks.

Title: Re: What sport or single sporting event are you missing or likely to miss the most? Post by: Karabiner on March 30, 2020, 06:11:40 PM I can say with complete honesty that I've not really missed watching The Arsenal.

Likewise we could start the Cricket County Championship in April, with the usual 2 men and their dog in the crowd. One day field spread out. (Obviously no standing up for the wicketkeeper :D) Non striking batsman runs on the next strip. Umpires stand back from the wicket, as bowlers bowl from an angle.

Tennis, most of the time the players are at the back of the court and as far from each other as is possible. Put the line judges and umpire in the stands.

Never actually played it, but have put some time into Stable Masters / Starters Orders over the years. Title: Re: What sport or single sporting event are you missing or likely to miss the most?
