    Mine will have to be cricket.

    I'm a Yorkie by birth so have a thing for god's county but have a large soft spot for Durham.

    Formula 1. If that's not a sport then it's cricket! White Rose of course ;)

    Is that really you Nev? You look much slimmer now looking at your Avatar.
    My dad used to be involved in Motorsport on the mechanical side.

    Any "real" sport that's on. Anything and everything especially if it's competitive.

    Darts and synchronised swimming being examples of non sports.

    Mine is karate, but strictly speaking that's a martial art, not a sport.
    So then it's rugby or boxing, which I enjoy equally.
    Never really got into motorsports.

    Cricket as well, make a few trips down to Durham each year and get to the odd Durham away game or England game.

    when my dad was into Motorsport he used to know and drink with Peter Burns who was into Rally and quite good back in the day.

    I'm now starting to get into Darts although there is the perennial debate over if it is a sport or not.

    Only other sports I watch regularly are darts and F1. I watch a bit of cricket when England play, but mostly I only watch a lot when the Ashes are on. Bit of tennis if Murray is in the later stages of tournaments.

    In terms of taking part - fencing - been my No1 sport for over 20yrs now. Was competing until a couple of years ago when I blew my knee out in a comp in France.

    Watching - cricket and motorsport

    It's fair to say I don't really even follow football these days. I only watch Newcastle and I just don't have an interest in watching other teams play anymore. I rarely watch MOTD tbh.

    I assume you mean watching - rugby league, golf, cycling, F1. Moto GP, cricket, athletics, swimming - ones I have come to hate are rugby union, tennis, anything American influenced eg baseball, basketball, NFL and ones pretending to be sport eg gymnastics (yes it takes a lot of skill but as boring as batshit, syncro swimming and half the so called Olympic sports
