EmissionImpossible Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 05 Ashes. The most thrilling sporting event ever. Every day of every test bar the first!. That takes some doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Team In Keynsham Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Tough one, but were I to think about it, probably something from Harmison's 7-12 at Sabina Park or Hoggard's hat-trick and Thorpe's 100 at Barbados or Lara's 400 at Antigua (I was very lucky on that tour) 1982 World Cup Final 2005 Ashes test at Old Trafford Seeing Wayne Gretzky play at Madison Square Garden Seeing Federer and Agassi in the US Open semi finals Seeing Ronaldo at Internazionale before he was ravaged by injury Edit: was only including stuff I was at.

'Orns Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 I was at Lords on the day Pakistan were up to their no ball tricks, it that we knew it at the time! Part of cricket history I guess! Odd day, pretty sure we were 0-4 at one point that morning, then Broad got his first test match hundred, him and Trott batted the day out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

italian dave Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Rome derby. Most of them have something special - but best was the one when Gazza equalised for Lazio about 3 mins from the end. Celebrations were just manic - and I ended up about 100 yards away from where my seat was! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orbital Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Sporting highlights for me: England v Australia Ashes 1998 (Gough hattrick) All the Euro 1996 games (Holland a highlight) Watching Rayo Vallecano stay up this season in the last second of injury time in the Primera Watching Federer and Djokovic in the Madrid Masters Watching Barcelona v Rayo and Real Madrid several times, witnessing magical football In advance watching the mens 200 m final at the Olympics (very lucky, got tickets) Being Bristol Challenger tennis champion 1989.

Esmond Million's Bung Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 My favourite is the gas relegation to the 4TH DIVISION in 2011 making the divide between the 2 Bristol clubs 2 divisions for the first time in history, my 2nd favourite is the gas relegation to the 4TH DIVISION in 2001 because BCFC had a helping hand in that relegation and my 3rd favourite is our promotion to the top division in 1976 and it's subsequent 4 seasons, because it is a place the gas have never been and are never likely to ever play.

MichaelRobartes Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Also the 2009 Six Nations Grand Slam win after 61 years of hurt, near misses and a lot of just being rubbish. Club (or Province) before Country though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsince1994 Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Another one for me was a couple of seasons ago London Irish beat wasps for the first time in years on the opening day of the season at Twickenham. The atmosphere was electric and even.the wasps fans were applauding one of the best egg throwing games I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrenadaRed Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 ODI West Indies v England in St Lucia around 8 or 9 years ago. Sunshine, party atmosphere, beer brought to your seat, superb local food, great atmosphere, had a tour of the press box and was a few feet from Gower, Botham, etc. The cricket was pretty good too, but was incidental to the whole experience. Back to back games over two days. The first was the best as I didn't have a hangover for that one. Also spent the evening in a bar with the whole team on a different island during the same tour. Good memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good memories. I have seen various games, tests and ODIs, on the Red Stripe mound at Sabina Park. Can't think of any location where I have enjoyed watching sport as much. Sun, swimming pool, beach, open bar, sound systems, food. And generally you can drink with the visiting team at their hotel after the match.

One Team In Keynsham Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 any idea when the next time we're out there otik? From the the most recent future tours programme I have seen, not until March 2014. I was last there for the 51 all out in 2009. New Zealand are touring in August, so might pop over for a couple of days, but nothing booked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
