What sports are YOU shooting this weekend?

I am going to be photographing my first cycling even of 200 riders in March. Feels daunting the more I think of it.

What a joke.. if they are blue i will take my own
 
Carlisle ask for a £5 refundable deposit for a hi-viz vest as well, but they do allow you to wear your own if you've got one. I got caught out on my first visit there without any cash on me, and without my own vest, so I had to hand over my ID card instead!

You wont get past the steward on the door without paying him the £10, Little tip, Dont sit wiring/packing up for 20 mins at end or the office that gives back the £10 will be locked up and that naff blue bib has cost you a tenner!!
 
ste.. can you wear your own?
 
I took one home from Boro once as I was rushed to get out and never got chance to drop it back. Took it back next time I was down and the people signing in didn't seen to fussed when I gave it back lol

we get purple ones at Sunderland oddly and the clubbies get pink there to.

Pools dont ask us to wear one but give us access to sit anywhere we want, within reason
 
Nope, Theres a £10 or non entry I was told, Done there 4 times and despite having my own, even trying the "ive brought no money" trick its deposit or non entry
 
We're ok at Charlton. No one wants to nick a vest with our badge on.

I was going to go to Doncaster tonight but my friend's plans changed up there. Just as well as we've had a bit of a leak at home and I've spent the day trying to sort it out.

Got a weak bladder myself
 
Quite a few photogrpahers at Oldham tonight... so seeing as no preassure on me.. I decided to sit near the dugouts... official photogrpaher said its allowed.. then would get shots different to everyone else... hmm all i ended up with what lots of action and missed three goals.. oh well.. could have worked out better..

Wouldnt let me wear own bib... took my press card as deposit..came pitchside end of game to give it me back...
