Which British sporting tradition would you most miss if it disappeared tomorrow?
From summer afternoons at Lord's to a chippy on the way home from the match, British sport is built on rituals as much as results. Rank these traditions by how much they'd leave a hole in your life if they vanished.
Put the items in your preferred order.
1
The Boat Race
A 170-year-old rowing showdown that somehow still draws hundreds of thousands to the riverbanks every spring. Equal parts sport and social occasion.
2
Wimbledon's strawberries and cream
A fortnight of queuing, Pimm's, and polite applause on Centre Court. The strawberries are practically a national institution at this point.
3
The FA Cup third round
The weekend non-league heroes get their shot at Premier League royalty, often on a frozen pitch in front of the cameras. Pure romance.
4
Boxing Day football
A full fixture list the day after Christmas, treated as sacred by fans and resented by managers. No other league does it quite like this.
5
The Grand National at Aintree
For one Saturday in April, the entire country picks a horse based on its name and watches Aintree like their tenner depends on it. Because it does.
