Re: Meanwhile up in Scotland
Sishi RunakWhat’s the most popular sport up there? Shinty?
Difficult one really, Shinty isn't popular in the way that I usually think of sports as being popular - Big crowds paying decent money and following their team far and wide, but it's probably the most fanatically followed by those that follow it, if that makes sense! The final last year for example was attended by 3000 people, but it is all amateurs playing at a pitch shared with public playing fields and an athletics club. But within those 3000 are some proper dyed in the wool purists.
Football is popular amongst the kids, but without local heroes just now, you see more Mbappe and Messi shirts than you do Caley Thistle ones. Have to say though, the club have always been good at outreach stuff and training camps etc for kids during holidays etc
