Portal
Sport & leisure (pronunciation: nay-krik-it)

Any contributions to the Sports & leisure portal must criticize local authorities for their lack of support to the cricket community. This must be done with a lot of mumphin' and grumphin'. As ever, the publishers of Crikipedia accept no responsibility for anything.

What is sport & leisure?
Sport is a physical activity, of a competitive nature, generally with a set of rules to adhere to, the purpose of which is (normally) to win, although in Aberdeen Grades cricket, not losing has a profile higher than is appropriate. Leisure can be sport as described above but also encompasses a vast range of pursuits, such as cinema, reading, walking, camping, banjo playing, the list is endless.

This method forces their images rating downwards to give an impression to the outside world of universal unpopularity (more).
