I haven't heard too much about LSE's sports facilities, so what's on offer? Rugby/football/swimming..etc

Nope, but I'm going to piss off a lot of Chelsey fans (yourself included!). :p:

There's only one team in London - and they play at the Loft.

LSE sport? Aren't we meant to be piss poor?

Play a hell of a lot of rugby (up to trails with saracens); union all the way.

Man Utd fan; die hard. Brought up in Manc and red forever.

Being chinese table tennis, also tennis but im not that good.

Is counterstrike a sport? hehe

I'm with you on the Texas Hold 'Em-there better be some sorta poker society or else we'll have to organise some tournaments.
I play rugby too (though nowhere near your level)-what position do you play tiantang?

Lol, i've moved around a bit on the rugby pitch

I was early grower so i started of tight head in year 7 (probably cus no 1 wanted to play there. :biggrin:

), then i moved into loose head. Recently i've been playing all over the place bar (fly, scrum, full back and outside winger.)

My ideal position is flanker, but if i was to play rugby at LSE i move into a more 'pretty boy' position cus i broke my collar bone twice in recent years. :help:

Regarding hold'em, assuming i get AAA, your on!

Wow you definitely have moved around lol! I prefer the "pretty boy" positions myself, I'm a utility back, though broke my wrist last week so the seasons over for me.
Yea well up for some good Hold 'Em, although I have to get AAA as well. Im hoping to do law as well btw.

"The sportsground is a train ride from the main School site in Houghton Street from Waterloo Station to either Berrylands or New Malden. Journey time is approximately 30 minutes"

That doesnt seem too bad

Surrey! Beijing's bloody closer!! I live near windsor and it takes me 20 mins from train into london! We might as well go to my local park.

There must be sth closer, if not a full blown pitch, atleast sth for a kick around.

Regarding poker at LSE; sth tells me it would be really interesting cus you'll have all the tight handed, economist/math students who work out every hand percentage vs. the double faced, scheming lawyers or bluff right/left/centre. :biggrin:

There are some facilities at Lincoln's Inn Fields behind LSE- I know netball used to be based there but it may have moved now. Still there are tennis courts there, apparantly.

Sorry cant make the meetup Tian-I live in Northern Ireland so its quite a journey for me. I'm going to the open day at the end of June just to have a look around though.
Yea its true: poker and A-levels dont really mix, as evidenced by the fact I spend all my free classes playing 20p Texas Hold Em :biggrin:

Better fun than studying all the same.
