    The Atherstone Shrove Tuesday Ball game, 2023. Believed to have run since 1199.
    It's ok, there is a rule that you're not allowed to kill anyone.

    I worked at a bookies for a few months. From bitter experience, punters get a bit irate when they can't get a bet on before the off. I'm guessing all the commotion is because the runners for the 2.30 at Kempton are under starters orders?

    The chap in the dayglo trousers reminiscent of the legendary lone Viking said to have held King Harold's army at Stamford Bridge.

    Brings a tear to the eye.

    I am not quite stupid enough.
    Not quite.
    Really fascinating on attending such how spectators are respected if the ball comes close.

    Every person in that video knows the game, strange as it is.
    They will be drinking together that same evening.
