http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/category6.asp A Selection of the latest gripes in the category of Sports and Recreation from The Weekly Gripe UK Webz ©2006 http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/rss.jpg http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/category6.asp I do respect that these troubled times are difficult, and once in a while it's nice for those in financial distress to seek an outlet like a game of basketball. But shouldn't money raised at these events go towards the community? http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a983.asp For those who don't know, Zorbing is classed as an adrenaline or thrill sport, perhaps not in the same league as Sky Diving or Microlight flying but it's generally considered to be quite an exciting sport. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a905.asp Southport Air Show was a rip-off in my opinion! I decided to go to the air show at Southport for the first time this year and as soon as I arrived there I began haemorrhaging money very quickly indeed. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a899.asp The summer is here and a lucky few are heading off to foreign beaches for a couple of weeks, whilst the rest of us who aren't so affluent will have to settle for a few days in a campsite somewhere in the UK. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a775.asp Perhaps it's just me getting old, but what's with this new craze of having a kids trampoline in your back garden? Does anyone else feel that trampolines are an intrusion of privacy or is it just me? http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a623.asp This gripe is probably going to annoy a lot of people but it's got to be done! Football (especially in England) really gets on my nerves and because it's everywhere, all the time. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a595.asp In light of the recent news headlines I feel the situation has gone too far. It has reached the stage where so called 'football fans' can get away with screaming verbal abuse, often about the players family. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a545.asp Here's my gripe about dress codes in bars and nightclubs. In the city where I live (Adelaide), I am restricted to just three bars where I can go out for a drink. I find it extremely annoying that I am refused entry to the other venues. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a453.asp So its World Cup time again is it, who would have guessed? We’ve had the phenomenon of the England flags flying from cars for quite a while now, but the new world cup songs and all the hype is all too much. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a245.asp I'm fed up with these pseudo Chelsea fans. They're not real football fans, and they have only migrated towards Chelsea Footbal Club because they think it might be trendy or something. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a218.asp
