My friend Ann found that her hair was falling out, which is why everyone now calls her "Wig Ann"…read more This team is named after her. She's still very athletic though, which is why we call her "Wig Ann, Athletic." First-Hand Experience: Wigan is one of my fave underdog teams. I've seen them play once at the DW and twice away from home around the country. They have always represented themselves well. I last saw them in 2011. Now that they have fallen from grace, I wish them a speedy recovery. Their owner's oft-racist and oft-unwise remarks and tirades are the only reason I give them 4 instead of 5. That, and the fact that they can't fill a stadium. This team, I have mixed feelings about. Roberto Martinez and Paul Jewell really put them on the map, two of my favourite managers. But their owner Dave Whelan, famous for making meat pies, is a bit of a racist and nationalist, and gets on my nerves sometimes. I also respect him in other ways though. They were founded in the 1930s so they're a relatively new team. They play in blue and white and are called the Latics. They were in the Prem for ages, until they randomly, crazily won the FA Cup in 2013, and were relegated the same season. That's the only glory the club has ever had, after being the League Cup runner up in 2006. So well done to them for that, what a fairy tale. The stadium is often empty and the owner is questionable, and for that reason I'll give them a 4 instead of 5.

It seems my original experience at the stadium wasn't matched with my later visits - the age of the…read morestadium shows with poor disabled facilities, fans of both disabled supporters are located in one area with no access to the concourse. Not forgetting having some of the worst views for away fans in the league through the pillars at the back or staff and stewards constantly walking infront of you (which also blocked the disabled supporters). The stewards here also seem to be the rudest I've experienced, not only blocking my view with no apology but stopping fans from getting to the barriers meaning they can't get close to the players after the game (no other stadium does this) A stadium which even after a win can bring disappointment and for me Everton's new stadium can't come soon enough.

Not really... I'm a massive Liverpool fan, so I'm supposed to hate Everton... but I don't. I think they're one of the best clubs in the whole world! First-Hand Experience: I've seen Everton play live - in person - too many times, I respect them, but Liverpool are twice as good. You can't get much more first hand than watching Everton play at Goodison (and Anfield). They're older than Liverpool, and nowhere near as successful, but they live just down the road from us, right across the park, and we enjoy the "friendly derby" with them. Their stadium is lovely (just like Anfield) and even though they play in ugly blue and dislike LFC, I still like them. They're like our angry little cute brother. Formed in 1878, they had David Moyes as manager for ages (and won nothing) and now have Martinez (much more fun to watch). They are known as the Toffees because they are all a bit fat. They have been champions of England 9 times (I got shot 9 times - 50 Cent), which is half as many times as their city rivals but still more than almost any other team. The last time was in 1987 (three years before Liverpool's last title). Five of the titles were before WWII, since then the other three are 63, 70 and 85. They were runners up 6 times, but only once after the first world war which was 86, behind Liverpool. They won the FA Cup 5 times... 06, 33, 66, 84 and 1995, their most recent trophy. They have been League Cup runners up twice. Amazingly, they won the Cup Winners Cup in Europe in 1985. They are one of very few English teams to win a European trophy. And as for a little banter, I will echo what Jasper said: "They used to have a chubby lad named Wayne who would kick about down here but he has since moved on to a career in fondling yer nan. Gone are the glory days of Danny Cadamarteri and Francis Jeffers, but this is still a good place to get some chips if you can manage to ignore all the tripe on the pitch."

I've been coming here for years and have pretty much tried all they have to offer. Most often we'd come and play football, they have 5, 5 aside pitches, a 7 aside pitch and an 11 aside (or near enough) pitch - and rental prices are pretty competitive with other options around Bolton. They have a nice little cafe inside as well so you can grab a coffee before or after and they have sandwiches too!

The mighty Seagulls hadn't had the best of times of late but following two successive promotions will play in the Conference North in 2011/12. Admission prices are reasonable, it's £7 for an adult (at the time of writing) but there are concessions for kids and OAP's, and you get much closer to the action than in the Premier League. Under of stewardship of player/manager Dave Challinor a decent team has been assembled and things are certainly on the up. Facilities have improved lately too with a decent clubhouse where you can get a half time pint and a takeaway food counter for pies and cups of tea. The ground is also scenically located high up in Old Colwyn so if the game is a bit dull then you can always take in the surrounding views!

A She-Field is basically a female version of a He-Field, and it's way better in every way than a He-Field. So now you know. Bell Biv Devoe. First-Hand Experience: I'm lucky enough to have seen Sheffield Wednesday live on 6 or 7 occasions, including in the very old days down in Oxford, and of course at their home stadium more recently. Which was very sad for me. This team is a brilliant team that is a giant of the English game. I have to separate them from their stadium which was a death trap and a heartbreaking place for any Liverpool fan. They were formed in 1867 and so are one of the oldest teams in the world. They're currently in the second tier but are a fallen giant, along with Sheffield United, and belong back in the big time as soon as possible. They were originally a cricket club which is kind of boring. The club played only on Wednesdays, hence the name of the team now. They play in boring blue and white. The Arctic Monkeys, Gary Cahill, Paul Carrack, Jarvis Cocker, Michael Palin, Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead and Def Leppard all supposedly support the Owls. Yes they're nicknamed the Owls, how adorable. They have won the Premier League 4 times, in 1903, 1904, 1929 and 1930, so some really amazing pedigree there. They won the League Cup as recently as 1991 when they were still a top team, and they won the FA Cup in 1896, 1907 and 1935, so their trophy cabinet is definitely full and impressive. They've spent 66 seasons in the top division, but not since the year 2000, so hopefully they'll be back soon. The reviews here that are for the stadium need to be moved to the new stadium listing. They once beat Geri Halliwell 12-0. I'd rather join her than beat her. Chris Waddle, Des Walker, Marc Degryse, Paolo Di Canio, David Hirst, were a few of the legends here. Sheridan, Harkes, Wegerle too. Americans before Americans were cool. Just don't ever go and watch them on a Tuesday or a Thursday. It'll end badly.

For locals you can play football many different ways here with indoor and outdoor pitches with stands that cater for the fans with every home game.

There's a small weights section that can become cramped quite often. But you get what you pay for and at £70 this place is a steal.

I've been along to roller derby before but it was along time ago in a land far far away. I enjoyed…read moreit then and I enjoyed it now. Manchester Roller Derby has the added interest of being a part of an active co-ed league. We went along to this their 5th anniversary bout. They were in a local leisure centre on this occasion (Carnall George H in Urmston) not the most convenient spot in Manchester but accessible by a combination of tram and bus. I don't believe this is their home track but I get the feeling the bouts tend to move around with the availability of track space. There was a pleasantly large crowd but there were still plenty of seats and loads if visibility onto the track. They had supporters stalls for all the teams playing on the day with surprisingly desirable merch (especially the supporter t-shirts with your fave competitors name and number on the back) and a cake stall for celebratory birthday cake. A double header between Manchester / Wirral and Manchester / Birmingham was on the cards for the day and we set up shop in the stands. The supporters are an enthusiastic bunch and I found myself clapping and cheering for all the teams (though I should have been supporting MRD primarily). One of the fun trademarks of roller derby are the fun antics and the payer names which were not lacking. With pseudonyms like Fish 'n' Whips, Jim Jams (who was a Jammer and was wearing pyjama bottoms), Veggie Kray, Smack Bauer, Knit One Hit One and Steph Leopard. They had a pass the parcel game in the stands, a raffle for merch and a 'Throw a Duck' comp in the half times. If you've never been along to roller derby it's a full contact, fun and active sport to watch and the basic rules are simple enough to pick up in a couple of minutes explanation. I do recommend heading along to a bout and throw some support behind a local sport team in an fresh and interesting non mainstream sport. No paid endorsements or hefty salaries here they do it because they love it and it's really good fun.
