Walking , especially when it's dark
Listening to music
Watching comedy DVDs like partridge , the day today , brass eye , black books
Watching creepy psychological films like the sound of music
Cooking , mostly co op ready meals like butter chicken curry , beef hot pot

Re: Hobbies outside of football now we are starved of it
Swimming
Walking on the beach
Just started getting into hillwalking, want to do more of that
Play a bit of PS4
Reading
My secret shame is that I'm a sucker for a bad reality show like Love Island or Love is Blind

I would love to do hill walking as the local ramblers club has some right sorts in it but my ankle is in bits so I have to walk on level ground

Re: Hobbies outside of football now we are starved of it
Walking in the Peak District
Reading
Films and TV dramas
Writing (very slowly) my blockbuster novel
Twanging on a cheap ukulele in the attic
We had almost booked a 16 day walking trip around the Pembrokeshire coast in May but the possibility of B&Bs closing and insurance uncertainty means we won't go ahead now. It would have been our 6th national trail. Will settle for day walks in the Pennines instead.

I used to live in bradford , walk out the back door and the scenery was stunning , haworth , where they filmed the gorgeous jenny agutter in the railway children , is great

I'll bet a tenner to a battered sausage you were familiar with Ebor Lane, Haworth.

Re: Hobbies outside of football now we are starved of it
It's good to see that there is more to us than just football

Re: Hobbies outside of football now we are starved of it
I do a bit of rock climbing, leathercrafting (fancy wallets and accessories mostly), gaming, fishing (not been for ages) and scoffing chocolate.

Re: Hobbies outside of football now we are starved of it
I keep bees (7 or so hives) but most of the beekeeping work is May-August. Still, plenty little jobs to do.
Otherwise - running, reading. TBH the gap that opened up by not watching / listening to sport is mostly taken up so far with household jobs that I've not got round to hitherto.

Re: Hobbies outside of football now we are starved of it
Playing football (3 times a week)
Going out on my bike (not on the roads but not mad mountain biking either - we are lucky to have loads of country tracks nearby)
Track days (cars)
Going to gigs (Nada Surf last Thursday) as I’m lucky to live near London so there is always someone to see.
Managing my son’s football team (er, for the moment anyway....)
So still heavily football related 🙈

Where do you go for your track days, and do you use your own car?

Household projects. I'll probably paint the garage door.

I used to use my road car until I took it to Spa (Francorchamps not the local supermarket) and it needed a fortune spending on it afterwards (and I didn’t even crash it). So I bought a Boxster just for track days.
So far I’ve done the Nurburgring, Nordschleife (twice), Spa (twice), Goodwood (loads of times), Silverstone, Snetterton, Bedford, and Rockingham. I’ve also done the Top Gear circuit but that was really dull.
This year I plan to do Thruxton, Castle Combe
and the Brands GP circuit but who knows how likely that is?
Then I should start on the tracks further north.
