365 Sporting Days
Sharing a passion for Sport!
An opportunity to interview London Broncos Head Coach Joey Grima also gave me the chance to watch the team train. Now that was something I just had to do – I’ve supported this team since the advent of Superleague in 1996. I found myself heading to Bushey – I knew that was in the general direction of Watford but of […]
I’m so very tempted to get 2 Events out of this afternoon – and the rugby on show was certainly worthy of 2! I was reminded by a Press Release from Premiership Rugby that the culmination of the Academy season was to take place at Allianz Park on the 1st Monday of Half Term. I have no concept of why […]
In spite of it being Round 2 of the Six Nations Tournament, Premiership Rugby still continues. That seems slightly crazy, especially for those teams with lots of players featuring for their country. And so 2 such teams, Saracens and Bath Rugby faced each other at Allianz Park. My journey was a different one to my usual M25 madness. I was […]
Having succumbed to my cough/cold and kept my germ indoors for the week, by Friday I was to say the very least bored to tears! Along with work I cancelled everything I had planned and hoped I’d feel human by Saturday morning. In a bid to cut down the time I spent outdoors I decided to drive to Westfield in […]
When I started to look at my plans for 2015 and in particular the 6 Nations I got online to see what was achievable as far as tickets were concerned. Tickets for Twickenham are always hard to come by, so I got an idea into my head to watch 5 games in 5 countries instead! I’m not going to give […]
With Premiership Rugby taking rest and the LV Cup making a return a trip to Saracens still beckoned as they welcomed Super Rugby team The Blue Bulls. I can feel myself going into match report mode but that’ll come later – so back into blog mode! My game day morning was spent waiting for carpet fitters then moving furniture around […]
The rugby league season is moving closer and so on a chilly Sunday in January a friendly between 2 of the teams I support – London Skolars and London Broncos beckoned. Skolars spent the bulk of last season playing in Enfield while a new 4G pitch was being laid. The ‘friendly’, if there is such a thing in rugby league […]
With Saracens playing in France I was in need of a rugby union fixture, so I booked myself a ticket to watch Wasps take on Leinster in the European Rugby Champions Cup game. I had no idea when I picked the game that it’d be the decider for the group! Result! Being a bit of a bimbo at times I […]
As I arrived at the Stoop last week I thought to myself – why aren’t I coming here again next week? Saracens were playing Munster at 1pm – Quins v Wasps started at 7:45pm that was a huge gap between the 2 games – it seemed a plan to do both! And so a ticket was bought before I left […]
After a chilly afternoon watching my 1st live rugby league game of 2015 next up was a somewhat bigger affair with rather more at stake. The relabelled European Rugby Champions Cup, strangely sponsored by no other than Heineken would take me to 2 games in a day. The 1st was Saracens v Munster Rugby kicking off at 1pm, a nice […]
Rugby League is back! A very odd fact for an Essex Girl (I use the word girl loosely) I’m a huge league fan! London Skolars, based in White Hart Lane in North London take the game to the heart of the City once a year. 2014 saw the Wigan Warriors step into the breach when London Broncos were unable to […]
A pleasantly good nights’ sleep in Gloucester saw me awake at stupid o’clock for a Saturday – but gave me time to write about my disappointing experience the night before. I need to make a note to self at this point – Buy breakfast the day before when staying in a hotel! Note taken on board. Having only had a […]
For some very strange reason a week ago I wasn’t going to the Gloucester v Saracens game; I sat with friends after the Saracens Storm game and listened to their plans, this got me thinking – why on earth am I not going?? Needless to say my ticket for the game was bought by 8am the next morning! The joys […]
The 1st day back at work after the Christmas break is always a bit of a struggle, what a nasty shock when my alarm clock went off at 6am! Just nasty! Not so bad though when I had a rugby match to look forward to! Monday night is usually meeting night for me so I miss most of the A […]
An evening in a Hotel, in this case the Holiday Inn Express, Filbert Way, Leicester, the one opposite the King Power Stadium, tends to mean dinner alone. The hotel don’t have a restaurant so I wandered round to the Steak & Grill Restaurant attached. And so, the lady eating alone in the evening scenario occurred, somehow I often feel as […]
It will soon become plain that I am in fact a season ticket holder at Allianz Park – home of Saracens. Some very clever marketing saw that happen 6 years ago now; £10 to watch Saracens play Northampton Saints at Wembley was too good to miss for a sports fan. Then it was rude not to but a season ticket […]
