Ah yes, it is but a distant memory these days Justdoit. The 'Footy' lost me long ago.
I can hand on heart state that I have not watched a game of League or Union in about 15 years. I have however watched & thoroughly enjoyed he NFL, Premier League & A League Soccer, Showjumping & Ice Hockey.
Particularly enjoy the International Show Jumping from various venues in Europe, there's one in Paris that is just incredible...great big old school glass roof over the arena... & I also really like watching the Showjumping and associated competitions from Spruce Meadows in the USA.
