Sports Trophies: Public Access?

[Philtaz]

Didn't know whether to post this in Sports but anyway.....

I've just returned from my local rugby club. On display for everyone to hold, have their photo taken with etc were the Triple Crown and 6 Nations trophies. They are being paraded around Wales to most rugby clubs.

My question is do the FA do the same with the FA Cup (regardless that it is a club competition as opposed to a nation v nation) and do the other Unions (RFU, IRU etc) do the same when they've won said trophies in the past?

Anyone?

Phil ... that was naughty !

[Philtaz]

Well if you're gonna post pics of young, athletic, nubile young women could they at least have some curves! But not as curvy as the cuddly Dragons.

[Philtaz]

Overuse of the word young a bit there, I'm all flustered!

[Nibble]

No problem,phil - that's rugby for you, when you're down on the ground, and feeling small, there's always a happy git giving you a good shoeing to have a ball ☺

[joggerjayne]

Yes ... too much "young"

LOL

Why do I keep thinking of Lenny Henry ?

[Philtaz]

Oh JJ, took me a minute or two but you're so right!

[Chinajan]

Yes, I've seen the FA Cup paraded around and displayed in various shop windows.

I've also had my own hands on the RL Challenge Cup. And sadly, yes, I did hold it up as though I was showing it to the crowd at Wembley. *the shame*

[joggerjayne]

We mustn't be mean about Lenny. I mean Lottysha.

Hi, China x

I have compiled a very special album. Have been pictured with the FA Cup, Premiership Trophy, Championship Trophy, European Champions Cup, FA Youth Cup, and the ultimate - the real thing - the FIFA World Cup (by invitation to a Coca Cola promotion in London in 2006). It has taken me a number of years to acquire these pictures but perseverance and a bit of cheek have helped me.

[joggerjayne]

That's really cool, S.P

[Philtaz]

Some going that sir.prize.

Would love to get my hands on the Webb-Ellis trophy. Almost did, if it hadn't been for that Monsieur Rolland, the 'Irish' ref with the French father and French name!

Not that I'm bitter you understand....

[sir.prize]

Just waiting for the King Kenny dust to settle at Anfield then I'll pop up there for a picture with the League Cup.

[joggerjayne]

Don't forget the Fiat SuperLeague Netball Trophy.

It's quite jolly.

It looks like a hubcap.

[sir.prize]

jj - it IS a hubcap.

[joggerjayne]

Well, it MIGHT be.

[sunny-dave]

I think it's actually two hubcaps ...
