My dad is 76 and about 8 years ago I decided to take him to as many sporting events that he wanted to go to whole he can


We've been to a gold cup day at Cheltenham
The grand national twice
Twickenham for the all blacks v the barbarians
Murray field to see Scotland v Ireland in the 6 nations
Park head to see Celtic play
An all Ireland Gaelic football final, which is an amazing event to attend
Also an Ulster Gaelic football final
And Hampden to see Celtic in a cup final

He's done well bless him

I know it's not considered a sport but I'd love to watch a wrestle mania just for the actual pomp and ceremony that comes with it

My dad passed away at 76 and I often wish I'd done what you've done. But he preferred watching sport on the telly in his last years,and wouldn't even come to watch the City,and he was a big fan. Fair play to you both though !

My sport was always badminton so I'd like to see the women's doubles final of some major tournament.

I'd quite like to see a women's cricket match because I have never seen one and the likelihood that I ever will see one is virtually zero.

Ryder Cup weekend.
Superbowl - Giants win
Stanley Cup Final - Rangers win

Would have loved to have been in Rio for the Womens Hockey Final last year.

After watching that garbage on Saturday it would make even the most die hard supporter seriously consider watching another sport. Footballers ? Are you kidding me most of them wouldn't get in my local pub team !

I went to Twickenham back in the '70s to see the All Blacks/Barbarians game. Three of us went together - my mate Mike, the landlord of his local in Muswell Hill and me. I don't know how many boozers we visited on the way down and we took our places in the stadium just in time to see the Haka. A great game and terrific atmosphere. Then another pub crawl on the way back to north London. What a great day that was!

Do it Chief I was lucky enough to be there for the 2010 Test! My favourite stadium in the world and I've been to a fair few!

My second favourite behind the Bernabao, went to watch Australia v India there in a ODI, did the tour a couple of days later aswell, great stadium but I think the only time it is full for cricket is the Ashes.

Would love to be there for a sold out Aussie Rules game although Id have no idea what was going on.

Did the tour when I was out there for a couple of days working. There was a Sheffield Shield match going on and we saw Steve Waugh get a century. Wasn't much busier than a country championship game.

Something that isn't too comercialised, that I have little knowledge of, but has an intense atmosphere. The buzz is good at horse racing in Ireland and also never been to an All Ireland final at Croke Park.

Or Mongolian wrestling, wild horse racing (2 different sports by the way)​

Tour was fantastic as well!

Big old stadium underneath, changing rooms are pretty much in the car park!

Went to a Aussie Rules game there in the May time was about -5, about 55,000 there then and Olivia Newton John signing at the interval! Very random evening!

One thing I saw on TV that I'd really like to attend is the Goodwood Revival. I'd need a gorgeous woman to accompany me who would dress up in 1950's garb. Take a look at the 'vintage style' galleries.

Ever tried the butterfly?

It must have looked like I was having a fit of some sort.

Super Bowl, or just a Seahawks game at the Clink

I'm not sure how much fun actually attending a Grand Prix is, but I've always loved the Monaco circuit to the point I could map it out from memory alone so I'd love to visit there at some point.

Been fortunate enough to take in an Ashes test at the MCG back in 2006 when Shane Warne got his 1000th wicket and we got whitewashed and the atmosphere was ridiculous!! Impressive stadium and when full makes a wall of sound!!

Was out in Vegas for the Mayweather/Hatton fight but didn't manage to get a ticket (cheapest was £650!) although I now wish I would have paid it so a massive heavyweight fight in either Vegas or Madison Square Garden would be my choice!!
