I'm putting my neck on the line here, but which two british football teams playing each other this weekend will have the largest crowd in attendance? Anyone care to have a guess?

[Chris]

Ummm ... England v Wales, I expect. Why do you ask?

Just beat me to it, damn you :p:

By the by, do Northern Ireland play their home matches at Windsor Park? If they do, what's the capacity 'cos I've heard it's not much.

The capacity is 20,400, but only 14,400 of this is seated.

"Just" beat you by three clear minutes sonny Jim :p: :D

[gazzae]

I'll take a guess at Armagh V Tyrone

Pah - just 'cos I've got some work to do :PP:

Dammit, forgot about the english and the welsh. I guess thats about 90,000 in Cardiff Arms park?

Actually, I was thinking of second place then. These two british teams have played each other twice already this season. First match was attended by about 60,000 and was a draw. The replay attracted about 45,000. I expect about 65,000 this weekend.

It might have been, had the Arms Park not been demolished. It's the Millennium Stadium now. ;)

Cardiff Arms Park? Probably won't be much of a crown there - wasn't it demolished in 1997 ;)

As for the Millenium Stadium, there may be a few punters in :disturbd:

Only one minute this time ... you're improving. :D

[Nugget]

I don't believe it - he's done it again (just a minute this time :p: )

And again!!!!!!!

:fit:

[gazzae]

I think the Millenium Stadium and Croke Park are similar in capacity so it could be pretty even.

[Orior]

My last sport poser was so rubbish and riddled with errors that I wonder would you permit me to post another, albeit more accurate one?



Iâ₠¬ÃƒÆ’¢â€žÂ¢ve been discussing this with a few guys in work. How many sports are there that deploy a handicap system? There are the two obvious ones †“ but are there any others?

[gazzae]

Golf, Pool and Horse Racing? :confused:

[Orior]

Pool? What about sailing/yachting - anyone know?

[gazzae]

Some Pool leagues have handicaps AFAIK.

Think you are right with sailing.

Would that be the triple crown ;)

[Nugget]

Would that be the triple crown ;)

Absolutely - only three people :)







Damn you :D

How do you have a handicap in pool :confused:

What do they do - cut one of your hands off :disturbd:

Say for example if you had a high handicap you may need to win only 5 games to win the match but if you had a low handicap you may need to win 7 games.

Make you drink ten pints first.

Actually, that is marginally more sensible, isn't it :D

[Atomic22]
