Your top 5 sporting events/occasions

[ColchesterFC]

Was listening to Talk Sport and they were chatting about the 6 Nations and one guy saying it was in his top 5 sporting events/occasions. Got me thinking about what mine would be, so in no particular order they are......

1 - Football World Cup
2 - The Masters
3 - 6 Nations rugby
4 - Ryder Cup
5 - The Ashes

So what would your's be?

Was going to create a poll but figured there were far too many possible options.

Best I've been to

First day of the Ashes at Lords, Oval, Headingley, Trent Bridge
England six nations v Ireland (home and away)
England football away v Poland (so many reasons not connected to the game but a very personal and evocative trip)
British Open
Wimbledon tennis (as a ball boy)

On my bucket list
The Masters
The first day of an Ashes test away
First day of a test in New Zealand and West Indies
F1 in Monaco UAE or Bahrain
World Cup watching and following England to each venue (yes I know they'd ulitmately let me down but its the trip not the footie)
El Classico in Barcelona what a stadium and atmosphere

Aren't you a Fulham fan? Surely you're used to losing.











That's right, you know you support a crap team when even a Colchester fan can give you stick.

6 Nations, nothing comes close for me. I enjoy watching other events and I suppose the Heineken Cup final is second, The Ryder Cup third, the Ashes fourth and the Open fifth but the 6 Nations is head and shoulders above, its the only sporting event that I plan my life around making time to watch it
