365 Sporting Days
Sharing a passion for Sport!
A chilly evening midweek saw me take to my favourite road – the M25 – to make my way to Allianz Park for the Saracens Supporters Association’s Front Row Event. I’m a member of the committee so try to arrive early to meet and greet people – but with problems on both the M25 and A406 that wasn’t to be. […]
Having spent the morning at the side of a muddy pitch in Trinity College Dublin, watching what really was a different form of rugby I headed for some warmth before heading off to Landsdowne Road to collect my ticket for the Ireland v England game. As I drank a cuppa the snow came pouring down – or as someone has […]
Rugby Union is a wide spread and popular game, when I’m on an away weekend I try to take in as many games as I can. I originally booked my flight to Dublin to take in the Parliamentary game. I sit next to a very charming MP at Allianz Park and we’ve chatted about me writing an article about the […]
I booked a flight to Dublin for the weekend of the Ireland match against England in the hope that I’d find a way to sort out a ticket for the big game. A good friend was kind enough to get me a ticket to watch the Legends game taking place in Donnybrook, so some guaranteed rugby! First of course I […]
This isn’t going to be a very long ‘episode’ – my 2nd game of the day and 5th of the weekend took place after the Doncaster RLFC v Featherstone Rovers game at the Keepmoat Stadium. I was lucky enough to be able to go inside between the 2 games which was a huge relief as it was beyond cold by […]
With the final game of the World Club Series being in St Helens on the Sunday evening that was a game I just couldn’t make, far too long a journey to make it home at a reasonable time! However one of my teams London Broncos were playing in Doncaster! Now, I didn’t really know how far from home that was, […]
My 3rd of 5 games for the weekend took me to Wigan to watch part 2 of the World Club Series. Having been to Central Park a couple of times now I’m chuffed to say I can get to and away from the stadium via a traffic missing shortcut! Always good to miss the queue! The parking situation wasn’t terribly […]
What chance that Sales Sharks would be playing at home on the weekend of the World Club Series – well I suppose a 1 in 2. A much slimmer chance that their opponents would be Saracens! I couldn’t believe my luck when I saw that was the case, so promptly booked my ticket. Having had a decent nights sleep at […]
When I was booking my 6 Nations adventures I had a look at where I could go to for my live sport on the 2 break weekends. Imagine my delight when I realised that the World Club Challenge games were due to take place during the February break. I am giving away my next event – but to my delight […]
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 […]
