football or fishing

[carping on]

i have to do an i.c.t project at school on facts and opinions about football or fishing and i need help!
i am the only one in my class who has chosen fishing (even though i love football)

so i ned things like:
*proof-of fishing being the most popular(post the url)
*ideas
*arguments-like the english fishing team is better than the english football team(because england won the international championships of fishing)
*only the uk

i would apreciate the help

and every one is calling me fishyboy now -mr murray you know who you are

i am sticking to my opinion but it has to be in the uk and i cant find anything

not even the teacher is supporting me-hes probably a(mr aliouche )mancheter united fan(i am a pure mancunian-manchester city)

cheers for the help

<><keep on fishin'><>

Hi, Will.

The Statistics:
Everyone has a different view on it. Some say fishing is much more popular then football - and others say it vise versa.
In my PERSONNAL opinion - i would say that AT THE MOMENT - football is more popular then fishing but fishing is getting more and more popular - it's mainly starting to take effect on the younger generation, as well, which is good!

The Suggestions:
When i asked freinds and family about this a few weeks ago - most of them said they would rather fish then play football. The most popular reason was that fishing has a lot more variaty - it's not just sitting on a pier - it's sea fishing, course fishing, fly fishing, ice fishing, carp fishing, predator fishing and many more whereas football is just football.
Other suggestions were things like:

• ''more happens in fishing''.
• ''you don't get bored of fishing''.
• ''you get more pride when you catch a big fish rather then scoring a goal''.
• ''football can get too crowded''.
• ''fishing is quite and peacefull wheras football just gives you an ear-ache''.

Public Survey's:
On a survey back in 2006: Nearly all femals - younger and older prefered fishing to football.
Over 40% of males - especilly the older generation prefered fishing to football. (around 20% of the younger generation o0f males prefered it).

Overall Conclusion:
As i said - everyone has different views. I don't think fishing is as popular as football - YET. But - more and more people are getting into it!

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR PROJECT!

yh
and i agree with you get more pride catching a fish than scoring a goal i was telling my friends that they just argued!

also we were talking about fishing games!
yes fifa 09 is coming out and wil sell like a radar fishing rod ,like crazy
unlike fishing games (which i own)on the wii and ds but i prefer them on the wii than fifa on the wii because its entertaining
again my friends werent having it

will i ever get my point through

my teacher probably chose fishing because he thaght every one would say football-well i stick to my guns!

i am going to do about 5 pages on it to get my point across to my class and maybe even a video (and post on here and youtube-yes i have an account-no im not telling you i would die of embarasment .

i will not rest till i get my point across

but in the world there are easily more people angling than shooting balls into nets coz that all it is(even though i am a seaon ticket holder at manchester city)

i also searched on google-top ten sports.a graph came up and fishing wasnt even on there-but not much people class it as a sport
tell me your views

Good luck with it! I think it's a good idea! It is getting more popular, though - fishing!

ice fishing
have you ever done it
and should there be a ice fishing forum on this site

I suppose there is not really that much of a need for an ''ice fishing forum'' although some people might like one. I suppose it would party come under sea fishing and partly under as it is bassicly frozen water!

The problem you face here is the one that
Football is a SPECTATOR sport
whereas fishing is a PARTICIPANT sport

there are over 3000000 people who GO fishing
how many people play football in the UK???? a few hundred thousand if you're lucky

I agree with Gray. A football stadium can hold ten's and mabey hundred's of thousands of spectators and i don't know how many people play - but probley not as many who fish.
YET!
