Sheffield Giants American Football - Touchdowns and Tailgate

Sport number nine takes us to American football with the Sheffield Giants and we were very pleasantly surprised. We weren't sure what to expect but we were blown away by the standard of action on the field and came away wondering why more people aren't coming down to watch this action packed sport. We continued our Sporty Forty tradition as the Sheffield team won again. And as if that wasn't enough we got great coffee, even better cookies and loads of friendly chat and insight from Tailgate Coffee who talked us through the finer points as well as fuelling our afternoon. As always we rank the action, atmosphere, venue and food and drink and place the Giants on our Sporty Forty leaderboard. Nine down, thirty one to go.

Sheffield Tigers speedway - Noisy, Dirty And Mental.

Sport number eight sees us at Owlerton Stadium for the fast, loud and mad sport of speedway. Roaring engines, flying dust and more as the riders slide sideways round the track at eye popping speeds. It's the first home meeting of the season as the fans renew friendships and the Tigers renew rivalries with Belle Vue Aces. We discuss Sheffield's animals, tough trivia and as always we rank the venue, atmosphere, food and action. A very fun way to spend a Thursday night. Eight down, thirty two to go.

Sheffield Sharks Basketball - Noise, Drama and Non Stop Action.

This time we head to Canon Medical Arena to see the Sharks and what a game they delivered, rising from the ashes to topple the Cheshire Phoenix by the narrowest of margins. We got fully into this one, celebrating like diehards as we got swept up in the pulsating atmosphere. There's the return of an old favourite, some unusual food options and finally some needle for Rikki to enjoy. As always we rank the food, venue, atmosphere and action and , spoiler alert, this one does pretty well. Is this Sheffield's best atmosphere? Please rate and review us if you are able. Seven down, thirty three to go

European Figure Skating Championships - How Was It and Was It Worth The Money?

We headed to the European Figure Skating Championships held in Sheffield as the next stop in our 40 sports challenge. It may look sleek and elegant but is it different live? Hear about flaming teddy bears, the brilliant but controversial French couple and Joe gets political. As always we rank the atmosphere, venue, food and action for our leaderboard. Please rate and review us if you are able as it makes us easier to find. Six down, thirty four to go.

E5. Beards, Brute Force and Breakfast at The English Weekend Of Strength

We venture a little outside of Sheffield for this one to Doncaster Dome for the English Weekend Of Strength. Big characters lifting big things, lots of grunting cheering and a real close and supportive community. Hear about the dedication needed to succeed in this compelling sport, a brilliant bonus breakfast and why the event's name was making us a little nervous. Join Joe and Rikki for nostalgic TV chat, more toilet mishaps and us finding out what gear really means. Five down, thirty five to go.
