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 … More London Skolars v London Broncos – Event 11
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 … More Wasps v Leinster – Event 10
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 … More Harlequins v Wasps – Event 9
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 … More Saracens v Munster Rugby – Event 8
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 … More Harlequins v Leicester Tigers – Event 6
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 … More Gloucester Rugby v Saracens – Event 5
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 … More Saracens Storm v Newcastle Falcons A – Event 4
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, … More Leicester Tigers v Bath Rugby – Event 3
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 … More Saracens v London Irish – Event 2
It’s here! January 1st 2015 means I can start my new sports related blog! I’ve watched 1 football and 2 rugby matches since I had my plan to track my year in black and white (or whatever colour the blog turns out to be!) It’s been hard not to write about them here, but they … More West Ham United v West Bromwich Albion – Event 1
