    I have had for a while the urge to write my self up a bucket or things to do before you die list. However today i thought i whould actually write up a Sporting Things To Do.... list now im going to write one with 100 things in it for all over the world and from all sports, I have nicked a few ideas from these:

    http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=caple/070625
    http://observer.guardian.co.uk/osm/story/0,,1182710,00.html
    http://observer.guardian.co.uk/osm/story/0,,1183014,00.html (part two)
    http://observer.guardian.co.uk/osm/story/0,,1183663,00.html (part three)


    Im going to include some of the normal ideas go to an olympics and world cup ect...but whouldnt it be cool to go to the Hot dog eating championship at Coney Island in the usa im not expecting to ever finish this list or compleate many on it but its something to aim for and to ease to bordem of today


    Now have any of you lot got any suggestions,have you written one yourself or simply what was the best sporting event you have ever been in any sport???

    I will one day go and watch the El Classico live.
    I would really like to be at ringside at a world title fight, preferrably a heavyweight clash involving a British fighter.

    Harlem Globetrotters came to Roker Park twice in the early 1960s! I was there for the first one, but missed the second. Some bloody big guys there mate - they had one called 'Tiny', and he was 6'-2"! I think they had two players over 7 foot. Well worth seeing them - brilliant entertainment.

    Me? - I've always wanted to go to a Gurning world championship (so I can feel good-looking!). And how about the Merrills world championship at Hutton-le-Hole? (Merrills is an ancient board game saved from extinction in the pub at Hutton. Now it's an annual world championship with teams coming from Norway, Switzerland and all over the shop. Never been but like the sound of it).
