Royal Shrovetide

Anyone ever been there?

It's held again this February, with two neighborhoods competing against each other, trying to move a ball to the other end of town.

Just a meagre distance of about three miles, that's all.

I heard about the competition a while back and only recently came back to my attention thanks to a short coverage on TV.

Bloody brutal event, eh? I doubt I could ever withstand the pressure from all sides, I think I'd get mashed up or something.

There's also a doc out there:
