Almost none, I had to go to an England cricket match once with work, god that was dull, and I vaguely remember getting dragged along to a football match once, though I can’t imagine staying for the whole thing. That’s about it.

I’ve been to International and Heineken League Rugby. Also been to Ice Hockey games.

The fear of being sat watching ice hockey and the puck regularly leaving the rink made me uneasy through the whole game, so never went back.

Would love to have gone and watched the Athletics a few years back but alas never happened.

One of the best parts! We caught a puck once

Love standing by the rink in the hope the players slam the boards in front of us

I’ve never been to a sports event since I defy school, when we had to attend sports day.

Sport, especially football is for school boys ( witness the behaviour of those who take part and those who watch).

It was…. It was one of those insane things you promise your whole class at university (Michigan State, class of 98) that if we won the big 10 we would go… only took the school 25 years, and 15 after I graduated!

I was never missing it! My flight from London to LA was cheaper than my classmates from Detroit and all around! 100th edition of the rose bowl… 30,000 at the pep rally 2 days before, I cried at the parade of roses! 60000 Spartans in the stadium (although half the state claims they were there!

Even the “person up front” fell over arse over tit on the turf the marching band pregame!!

And I would not swap it for any Michigan State sports memory ( although playing a final four in Detroit ford field with 75,000 Spartans basically a home game in the national semifinal comes close)

Loads, mainly football. Season ticket holder at the Palace for about 50 years, some rugby union (mainly London Irish) and the occasional league, a bit of T20 cricket (Surrey), 25 years as a motor racing marshal so been to quite a number of countries, a few stages of the Tour de France, I went to the baseball the other week as well. I'm sure there must be more but I can't remember!

Michigan State is a football school with a basketball addiction!!!

College football and College basketball are my two favourite things… love my jets, love my knicks… but Spartans are a different level!!!

College football on Saturdays is miles better than nfl on Sundays!!!

And izzo is the “god of March” ….
