Minimalist poet, minimalist lifestyle

Continuing on the sporting theme from my previous post...

I've been enjoying watching the Six Nations rugby internationals on TV. Although I live on the edge of rugby league territory I must admit that I much prefer the rugby union code of the game; I find rugby league to be too much influenced by American football with all the razzmatazz...and, of course, there's certainly not the same organised international competition available (or even any sort of North/South rivalry within England.)

I recently visited the Unibond Premier League website (as I often do) to check the position of Frickley Athletic in the table. They're currently in second place and therefore have a good chance of achieving promotion to the northern section of the Football Conference.

When I used to live at Thurnscoe I was a season ticket holder at Westfield Lane but I've not watched the team since moving to Doncaster eight years ago. It's not difficult to reach South Elmsall (where the team plays) on the bus or train; but the combined cost of admission and fares is just too prohibitive for me...and this is just to attend semi-professional football matches.
