Great Gift Ideas For Sports Lovers
When it comes to buying a gift for someone who’s into sport, instead of buying equipment or sportswear why not totally surprise them with a sport themed gift experience? Whatever sport you’re into there is a gift experience to fuel all sorts of sports fan fires!
Tour of Your Favorite Football Stadium
The ultimate gift for any football fan would be to visit the hallowed turf of their favourite football club. Football Stadium Tours give behind the scenes access to some of the top clubs such as Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool FC. You can learn about the history of the club, but more importantly you get to visit the dressing rooms and walk down the players’ tunnel!
Tour of Lords Cricket Ground
For those of you who prefer the more genteel sound of cork on willow, then a tour of the MCC’s Lord’s Cricket Ground would totally bowl over any keen cricket fan. You will be able to walk in the footsteps of Botham, Atherton and Boycott and stride leg before wicket through the Long Room, dressing rooms and around the museum. Hows-zat for a gift experience! This would be top of any cricket lovers list of must have birthday gifts this or any other year.
Wonderful Wimbledon
Not for nothing is Wimbledon known as the home of tennis. This legendary venue – home to classic matches between Bjorg and McEnroe and Agassi vs Sampras – is yours to discover. Take a complete tour of the legendary SW19 venue, including many of the areas that are out of bounds even for tournament ticket holders. However, there’s no need to worry; no umpire will call you out for a foot fault! Or serve an ace with centre court tickets for a day’s play, during what is regarded as the highlight on all tennis players and tennis fans circuit.
Play Some Golf
Relax with a round of golf. With top courses around the UK and Ireland, there are gift experiences to suit all skill levels. You can learn how to swing a golf club, book a lesson with a Pro, or simply take to the fairways with your friends.
Don’t give a sideline gift; get in on the action with a super sporting gift experience instead.

5 Of The Most Successful Football Teams In The World
Football has always been popular, but it seems over the last few years, there is a much bigger following. This can be seen first hand by logging into one of the many Worldwide Football forums. Maybe this is due to the game play getting so much better thanks to the up and coming stars.
AC Milan
AC Milan were originally put together back in 1899 and since then, have showed some great force within the Football crowd. The team are based in Italy, but were created by British Expats – although the original intentions for the club was for Cricket!
They have been European Champions 7 different times, where as they have managed to conquer their first division, with 17 wins in total.
Arsenal
Arsenal is a UK based Football Club, playing from their Emirates stadium in North London. The popularity of the club soon becomes apparent when searching around Football Forums.
In 1886, Arsenal was put together, although they were actually called Dial Square at the time. They have won the UK league 13 times and the FA Cup 10 times.
Barcelona
Back in 1889, a group of men, led by John Gamper, who agreed to form the club, which would be later labeled as “Barca”. It was certainly the right decision anyway, with the club eventually managing to get 24 Cope Del Rey titles, 18 League Titles and of course, their success of winning twice in the UEFA Champions League.
Their home stadium is the New Field, and has given them some great success over the years.
Bayern Munich
Possibly one of the best clubs in Germany, it was originally founded in 1900. Their following is not limited to just Germany though, but is actually worldwide, as most people find out when logging onto Football Forums.
Of course, it is no wonder, as their success is more than most people expect. They have be crowned as Bundesliga winners 20 times, have won 14 German Cups, and even have 4 Champions League wins under their belt.
Chelsea
Chelsea is a UK based club that comes from West London. They have had some great success over the years, with 3 league wins, 4 FA cups and 4 general titles. Football Forums see this as an international club, especially on Football Forums, and they are extremely popular.

The Top 10 Biggest Football Stadiums In The World
Most people probably think that stadiums have gotten a lot bigger over the last few decades, as the likes of football continue to increase in popularity. The reality is that this is not the case as health and safety means that most grounds need to be reduced in capacity in order to keep fans safe.
#9
Coming in at number nine are two stadiums; Estadio Monumental Isidro Romero Carbo and Wembley. They are both popular in their own right, although Wembley is possibly better known across a lot of Football Forums. Both stadiums are said to seat 90,000 people and Wembley is said to have cost 800m to build.
#8
Beijing National Stadium has become a lot better known since it will be hosting the Italian Super Cup and the Supercoppa Italiana.. In reality, the stadium will not be open for much longer, as the owners has confirmed it will be changed into a shopping centre in the near future. This ground holds 91,000 fans – adequate is probably an underestimation.
#7
The Estadio do Maracana in Brazil was originally built for the 1950 World Cup. It has the record for the most fans ever with over 200,000 watching the game. Since then it has been reduced to a 96,000 capacity.
#6
Barcelona has always been an impressive team and their stadium is just as impressive. It has a capacity of 98,772 currently, after being reduced from 105,000. It was originally built back in 1957
#5
Fifth position is a joint effort between the Bukit Jalil National Stadium and the Azadi Stadium. Bukit Jalil hosted the Commonwealth Games back in 1998, so was popular after this. The Azadi on the other hand, is the home ground of the Iranian National Football Team.
#4
The Melbourne Cricket Ground was originally built in the 1800′s, but has undergone plenty of renovation over the years. It has hosted a range of big events and seats over 100,000 fans. This is probably not as talked about on Football Forums as the likes of Wembley.
#3
Estadio Azteca in Mexico City holds just over 100,000 fans (105,000) and is the only stadium to date that has hosted two World Cup Finals, these came in 1970 and 1986. It is also the home to the Mexican National Team.
#2
The gap between 2nd and 3rd is actually quite big. The Salt Lake Stadium sits in 2nd and it holds 15,000 more than The Estadio Azteca, making its capacity to 120,000. Its size means it hosts a lot of international events.
#1
North Korea always likes to do things big, and that is no exception here, with the Rungrado May Day Stadium which holds a staggering 150,000 people. It is a hot subject in Football forums due to its size.
