I don't - if rugby is council, it's certainly not on the same plane of council as football and football "supporters".

I'd say a non-council sport, despite the best efforts of the gambling companies sponsoring it, would be snooker. No way a councilist audience would be able to keep quiet and only politely applaud every so often.

I'd also say club level motorsport - luckily all the chavs and wasters seem to stick to attending BTCC or MotoGP events (as evidenced by the air horn usage), and leave the low-level and classic events alone
Snooker and snooker halls are very council and only one step up from the uber council sport of darts. I feel guilty calling darts a sport but...

Being an American import, redneck trailer trash, rather than council.

And "baby showers" whatever the fudge those are supposed to be. I assume everyone wears man made fibre clothing for a start.

Technically snooker is not. Your house should have plenty of space for a table. Unless you wear trainers outside of a sports hall. Then a snooker club becomes part of your life. That is when it becomes council.

Overweight blokes and their other half wearing a size to small replica shirt, getting pissed up and singing ridiculous songs. Of course rugby is council.

Sod it i'd like to nominate cricket as well, anyone who sings that ridiculous 'Barmy Army' song has to be in the council club.
It is an unfortunate development of modern times that cricket has attracted a following by what are little more than lost football types. It is a shame that people are no longer capable of sitting and watching respectfully with a polite clap for a well played stroke or delivery. Personally, I would like to see anyone turning up at the ground in replica shirts and face paint refused entry.

Jolly bad show and all that.

Rugby.
I'm saying no, far to complicated for football fans to follow, so not council.
League or Union?
League is played by Northerners, so quite obviously council.
Union is played down south, by folk so poor they can only rent a house which by its very nature is council…league is played oop north in a small corridor based on M62 by exceptionally large gentlemen we bring in from New Zealand, Samoa and our smaller but faster cousins from former penal colonies.

All this 20-20 stuff and "The 100" with music acts thrown in for half time entertainment .

Not helping .

Petty regional rivalries, council wink

If snooker is council (and Victorian toffs did look down their noses - billiards was the gentleman's sport) then what does that make pool?

Clearly pool is council as it is a septic thing

I would like to nominate "beach volleyball" (femail version) as a non-council sport. Been watching it all afternoon in Los Cristianos, whilst Mrs Marky is having a spar day.
