I found a bit ore on this reading the great David Walsh in the Sunday Times who was the man who finally held Lance Armstrong and his bullying entourage to account.
With regard to "participation levels" and the way UK Sport measure them if you go to the gym once a week and run on a treadmill you are involved in athletics. If you use the stationery bike you add to the number of those participating in cycling. So you get very high participation numbers in athletics and cycling and their funding is enhanced.

So if we all get our old subutteo sets out will that massage the football numbers?

Because you like the vast majority have no idea as the different types of fishing there is , or the complexities and level of professionalism involved. There are million dollar fishing sports celebs out there... Types of fishing include Sea fishing Sports sea fishing Beach fishing Bass angling Pike fishing Coarse fishing Salmon fishing Fly fishing Etc etc Still not a sport though is it? Same as darts, shooting etc. its a pastime. Shooting is a sport.

I haven't read this thread but has it descended into the usual mind numbing debate about semantics and whether something is a sport or not yet? I do hope so. It's right up there with which is the biggest club bollocks. Time to find out I guess Edit - well done peeps. You didn't disappoint
