Do any PON members have an interest in any other sport outside of football? I like to watch all kinds of different Sport, such as Ice hockey, Cricket, Tennis, Athletics, Motor Racing & Olympic sports.

I support the Nottinghamshire Outlaws in the summer & take an interest in the Nottingham Panthers Ice hockey team in winter.

I used to play Rugby and Cricket for my school between the ages of 11 & 15. I used to Bat and Bowl.

I was as into cricket as much as football as a youth. I was regularly at Trent Bridge for Hadlee, Rice & Randall and played a tonne myself.

I've followed the NBA for years now. I'm struggling though with 8 champions in 8 years. It's too hard to stay at the top in that competition.

Tomorrow night sees Game 3 of the finals. The 7' 5'' alien Wemby goes into Madison Square Garden 0-2 down. It's going to be funny seeing midgets like Spike Lee, Ben Stiller, Timothy Chalomet etc shouting trash at somebody who looks twice their height. If it gets to 1-2, it'll get interesting.

I'm old enough to see Sobers playing for Notts in the late 60s & early 70s.

Then Notts winning the County Championship in 1981 & 1987 & the NatWest Trophy in 1987 with C Broad, Robinson, Randall, Rice & Hadlee the lynchpins of a Notts side that dominated County cricket for a while in the 80s.

Great times

Who else can we mention? French, Hemmings, Cooper, Johnson.

Sobers seems like another age though, the only footage seems to be in black and white!

There was also Birch, Pollard, Saxilby, Scott, Newell & Pick who were part of the successful squad of 1987 too.

I like watching darts between two professionals, especially when they are quite evenly matched. I do not like watching cocky players, or those who are simply miles better than their opponent. I think the sport has become worse for unsportsmanship in recent years. I like the character of a true professional but not the silly tantrums.

Shake hands, and walk off... Don't flip tables or try to start fights.

Snooker is okay in small doses. I can find it interesting when players try to go for it and play safe to a degree. It's boring when someone is overprotective and relies on fouls.

Basketball is about the only American sport that I actually enjoy; I don't like Baseball or American Football. I am not into motor sports either. Some sports simply make me sleepy, and both F1 and the C word fall into that category.

Motorbike racing has been a passion of mine from my late teens to now, the likes of Barry Sheen, Kenny Roberts, Randy Mamola, Freddie Spencer, Eddie Lawson and a chap called Derek Chatterton. Not forgetting Rocket Ron Haslam, Steve Parish and of course Carl Foggerty. So much so I took on the mantle of becoming a Race Marshall and was fortunate to meet the riders and travel to most of the circuits in the UK. Today I still follow British Superbikes and the rider from Jacksdale Kyle Ryde, who has won the championship two years running and is leading in the early stages this year on his Ducati. Little does Kyle know that when a child prodigy Mrs P and myself helped raise money to keep him riding, with organised events at Jacksdale Welfare. 🏍 🏆
