Worst Place you've been for a sporting event

Hatton match made me think of this ....

Worst - or at least most inappropriate - place I have been for a sports event was for the England-Brazil 2002 World Cup match.
Working in Germany at the time and went into an Irish pub on the way to the office (Game started at 8:30am local time I think) and watched it in the company of a load of mostly Germans, and some Irish and the cheers that went around when England lost a player and then again when they lost was most unsatisfying

I was very pleased when the Germans lost out to Brazil (shame one of them had to win

)

worst place for me was silverstone F1 GP when it was on earlier in year ,april time i think and we had all that rain
got stuck in the mud ,pulled out by a tractor then spent 4 hours trying to get out of the place

oh and 2nd place is Blundell park Grimsby ,Lincoln always end up playing them away in December and its bloody cold there in the summer

I was racing at Pembrey in Wales when a rider went down next to me at Honda Curve. For a whole nano second I was wishing I was anywhere else but there. Thankfully he missed me and I gave up my new found hobby shortly afterwards.

Went to the home of the Scum (Leeds Utd) to watch Manchester United play them and I was in the main stand (Leeds supports). Clearly we couldn't cheer on my team without getting our heads kicked in (as someone a few rows behind did whilst the stewards just watched, then threw the Man U fan out

).

Anyway Man U lost 1-0 and we also lost Keano for most of the season

- Round 1 with Alf-Inge Haaland (Round 2 was a few years later when he played for Man Sh*ty)

Was that a loss by a header from Harry Kewell?

As it was over 10yrs ago I can only remember the significant points, i.e. we lost and Keano was out for several months. How the goal was scored I couldn't care less

Leeds don't beat UTD often so I remembered that goal, a looping header over the keeper. Having said that, Brian Deane banged a winner in against them as well IIRC but not sure if it was that game or not.

A Leeds fan in Somerset

I thought all southern football fans were Man United fans. Only residents of Manchester either supported Sh*ty or any other team but not Man U

Leeds fan, nope, wrong shaped ball for me. My family come from Leeds and they never shut up about football. I remember having to sit through many a game with them.

Bath rugby is where it is at for me

I'll let you off then

I spent 3 yrs working in Leeds so, as a Man U fan, it was a lonely experience. Probably the only place where you learn to keep your mouth shut about which team you follow
