What's it to be? A lot of Cricket fans out there by the sounds of it, but which do you prefer (you have to choose).

Hmmmmmm. Let me think. Football is good, cricket is shite.

Soccer for me, y'all.

Cricket for me, actually. No special reason, but I've been watching Sussex (and playing cricket) longer then I've been watching Albion (and apart from a few games at Balfour Juniors, and then at university, I've never played football properly)

I used to watch cricket years ago, but not out of choice. I found it boring then and even more boring now. No contest for me - football it is!

Cricket for me. I've been watching Sussex since '64, three years before the Albion. I've been a Sussex member since 1970.

Don't get me wrong, I love the Albion, but I love cricket even more.

I soooooooooooo want Sussex to win the championship.

Cricket for me. It has far more twists and turns than footie. The big difference is that although both are team games in cricket there is 1 man against 11. I always think the fielding side is like a pack of wolves surrounding their quarry, the batsman .
However for sheer explosive excitement then soccer has the edge.

Gotta be football first, love watching cricket and I so want Sussex to win the championship but football has always been first. I know this will rile some people but rugby is up there aswell, there are less twatty fans, all the violence is on the pitch.

A tough call but Cricket wins it for me. This may sound like heracy but I'd rather see Sussex win the County Championship than see the Albion promoted. I sooo hate Surrey!

Very tough question. If we are talking Brighton or Sussex then this year i would take Sussex to win the championship over Brighton getting promoted. Normally it would be the Albion though i reckon.

I couldn't watch football for 7 hours a day but i can do that with cricket, what does this mean?? I spose they are very different and i like them both.

Answer: i don't know.

Football wins every time. But as there is no football during the summer then cricket follows along in second place. Basically I'm a total sport monkey so I'll watch anything darts, snooker, curling!

Tough question - being Australian cricket is just a part of you - like vegemite goes on toast....

Football was something I only ever heard on the BBC news on a Sunday night in Australia when then presenter would go through all the scores from the the Divisions.... compared to cricket I always used to think it must be a boring game because the scores were so low...

But now living in this country I love the football - so I'd have to say in summer I choose cricket and in winter football...
