I am always fascinated how people spend their leisure time. I love it.

I went to England vs. Argentina on Sunday, the first match I’ve been to since about 1990 in Hunslet.
A pub with a pitch is a perfect description, I was told as it was going to be an English walkover the tickets were easier to get by the real fans and there were fewer corporate tickets. Excluding the families with kids I doubt 1 in 100 had played rugby in the past year, maybe 50% could run the length of the pitch without needing a defibrillator at the end.
The fumes coming off the crowd were a heady mix of Guinness and cholesterol.
The nearest comparison to cycling I can get is the TDF Grand depart years ago where the crowds average life expectancy was 20 years longer.
£91 for a ticket way up on the upper level BTW.

I did not know that this is interesting, I would suggest (no facts) that people are members of BC because the cycle at whatever level or they have youngsters that do. Rugby can be the demographic that used to play and younger men and more so now women but perhaps it is now 'pub with a pitch' at the club and bigs days at internationals. Nowt wrong with any of that but it is not high on the ethical spectrum. I am always fascinated how people spend their leisure time. I love it.
