subject: A Sporting Experience [print this page] Are you looking for a gift with a sporting difference? Fed up of buying sports gear that goes out of fashion before the season is over? Why not get back to grass roots and take in a sports related gift experience instead? Treat sports supporters to tours of their favourite sporting venues. With fantastic gift experiences such as these, you can take fans back to where their passion for their particular sport first began.
Football Stadium Tours
A stadium tour is the best present for any football or soccer fan. Football stadium tours give you backroom access to top English Premier League football clubs, such as Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United. Find out more about your favourite club's history, take a walk down the tunnel to the pitch and even check out the home and away dressing rooms.
Tour Lord's Cricket Ground
For those who prefer the sound of willow, then a tour of the historic MCC's Lord's Cricket Ground would totally bowl any ardent cricket fan over! You can walk in the footsteps of Botham, Atherton and Vaughan and stride leg before wicket through the Long Room, dressing rooms and around the museum. Hows-zat for a gift experience! This would be a great birthday gift idea for the cricket lover in your life.
Wimbledon Experience
Wimbledon - one of the Grand Slam tennis venues and the home of tennis in England. This legendary venue - which has been host to never-to-be-forgetten finals such as Bjorg and McEnroe and Agassi vs Sampras - is yours to discover. Take a complete tour of this typically English venue. You will even get to visit many of the areas that are out of bounds even for tournament ticket holders. However, you don't need to worry; no umpire will call you out for a foot fault! You will even get tickets to the centre court for a day's play, during what is regarded as the highlight on all tennis players and tennis fans circuit.
Play Some Golf
Kick back and enjoy a round of golf. There are top courses available across the United Kingdom and Ireland and there are choices to suit all levels of skill. You can learn the basics of the game, book a lesson with a golf pro or simply take to the fairways and enjoy a round with your friends.
So, for this year's round of birthday and christmas, don't give au unimaginative gift when you could give the sports lover in your life an experience that will truly be treasured instead.
