Cricket - Northamptonshire (I don't half pick them)
Kabadi - Delhi
I wish it was serious. It used to be on Channel 4 years ago - used to quite enjoy it.Is the Kabadi one serious? It looks like a big game of British bulldog
Looking at the running track around the Mallorca pitch, did that kill the atmosphere a bit too?RCD Mallorca: Spend a lot of time in Mallorca so try and go watch them at least once a year. They got relegated a couple of seasons ago and have struggled quite a bit since, although got taken over recently. They moved the team out of the centre of Palma (the capital), and the new stadium has quite a few structural defects. The whole thing pissed a lot of supporters off and killed the fanbase a little bit, but it's still a good evening out, and they recently built a temporary stand right behind the goal to increase the atmosphere a little bit.
What other teams do you follow?

Baseball: LA Angels (as it was my first live BaseBall match)
Bugger! Forgot to mention Rugby Union, Ireland. I tend to go a bit apeshit when I watch the boyos play! My missus don't care much for any sports. She's half Polish - half Lithuanian so that might explain things!Newport (IW) FC.
You have some Welsh in you too then, HH?Bugger! Forgot to mention Rugby Union, Ireland. I tend to go a bit apeshit when I watch the boyos play! My missus don't care much for any sports. She's half Polish - half Lithuanian so that might explain things!
I'm interested in teams like St Pauli who have interesting stories behind them but I don't really follow anybody else, this basket case takes up to much time as it is.
Never could understand the American obsession with college sports teams. Why is anyone interested? Is it just the money they generate? In Britain, college/university teams are meaningless.<snip>
College (American) Football: Clemson Tigers

The football teams will be playing in a few years at this rateShame Warwick don't get out and about anymore and play at Cov & Warks and Stratford.

I used to go and watch Palermo and Hellas Verona so keep an eye out for their results.
The Verona Napoli and Palermo Catania derbies were certainly 'interesting'.
Edit: Meant to add that it was possible to watch Serie A football for around £10 and enjoy una birra during the game in the comfort of your own seat.
I am a massive fan of Italian football, and have been since the early 90's when it first came onto Channel 4.
Took in 4 matches in a week earlier in the season.
Hellas Verona vs Pro Vercelli. Hellas are in Serie B this year but well supported. Their atmosphere is the most 'English' of the Italian teams as they take a lot of influence from here.
Milan vs Juventus. Stunning atmosphere, in the Curva Sud, best atmosphere I've encountered, I actually thought it outshine the Rome derby in terms of noise, although there wasn't quite the tension and threat of violence around the ground.
Atalanta vs Inter. This is a fantastic 'old school' ground and very Italian atmosphere. Possibly my favourite ground along with the San Siro.
Bologna vs Fiorentina. Another very 'southern european' type atmosphere and a beautiful stadium. Very old school, concrete bowl and big moat to keep the fans off the pitch.
Going back to Milan at Easter for the derby, but such is the Easter break in Italy that probably will only get to the one game.
Fave teams are Lazio, as they are the first Italian team I saw, but also like Atalanta, Napoli, Milan. There isn't really an Italian team I dislike, such a fantastic place to watch football despite all the issues surrounding it. Home of football passion in my eyes.
Hoping to get down to the south next season, and take in the likes of Napoli, Bari, Foggia, Lecce. Real bandit country down there...!
