TWF favourite 3 spectator sports other than football

Cricket
Speedway
Baseball

As well as those, I'll watch horse racing (both codes), golf, darts, ruby union, cycling, ice hockey, athletics, swimming and snooker
 
NFL
Cricket
F1

I tend to watch a bit of snooker when the world championship is on and some tennis when Wimbledon comes around.
 
Thanks everyone for participating. So far we have 25 different sports mentioned, I'll leave it another 24 hours and publish a Top 10 by mention and also weighted preference tomorrow morning
 
Aside from football, I only really watch cycling now (Giro, TdF and La Vuelta), and that's only been in the last year.

Used to watch the cricket but not now it's on Sky Sports (and I can't really secure that much TV time anymore #threekids )

I watch Wimbledon, but no other tennis, so I guess that doesn't really count!

F1 would have been top of the pile irrespective of football, but the Sky pay wall has put the shackles on that.

This 100%. There used to be seasons I would never miss a session, even for the 4am Australia starts. Sky's coverage is good admittedly, but the move to pay-TV has been awful for the sport. Same goes for The Ashes coverage. I could've grown into Cricket after 2005, but alas...
 
My fav 3

Ice Hockey
NFL
Darts

If you do a ' 3 you most dislike ' then here's mine. Take your pick as I couldn't limit it to just 3 :)

Cricket
Golf
Rugby
Show Jumping
Baseball
Wrestling
 
Surely you can't seriously call wrestling a sport?! :icon_lol:

Well I remember having to watch it as a kid on World Of SPORT with Dickie Davies.....so it must be....in a way....maybe not.
 
I realised I didn't give my 3:

NFL
Athletics
Cycling
 
Cricket
Rugby Union
After that I'm struggling to think of one I'd be that bothered about, Used to love going to Hednesford so I'm gonna say
Banger racing
 
After football would have to be horse racing(both codes) but then i could choose a range of sports like golf, cricket, tennis, athletics, darts, international rugby union, boxing and UFC. There's a few sports i used to love but don't really watch anymore like F1, snooker, pool(mosconi cup used to be brilliant) rugby league.

When the Olympics and winter version are on i will watch pretty much anything then though.
 
Cricket
British Touring Car Championship
Field Hockey (only sport that I was any better than decidedly mediocre at)


(Warren - agree re Bowls, enjoy playing, but its a rubbish game to watch if you aren't. Even in the club the only ones I do is when we have a County or National Cup match & thats more about giving support to the team than anything else)
 
Another shout for UFC (or MMA) - that shit is brutal.
 
Cricket
Hockey
NFL

Although the first two are pay to watch (occasionally some hockey will be free to air on social media though), and the third I usually only watch one game a year.
I will watch virtually any sport (including bowls) with the possible exception of rugby league.
 
Mildly surprised there hasn't been any mention of basketball so far.

Doesn't really resonate with Brits/Irish the same way NFL/Baseball does. No idea why.

Strikes me as odd as in terms of creativity in sport it has always struck me as the natural sister sport of soccer. Though there's certainly a huge gap between them in terms of how often scoring happens.

Took me a long time but I've really come around on the game lately.
