Spot The Erg
Posted by Concept2 News on the 24th of September 2001
Spot The Erg is both the name of an irregular feature in this newsletter and also a highly unsuccessful range of children's books. Our thanks this fortnight go to Richard Butter and family for pointing us in the direction of the sports pages of last Sunday's People. There, Derek McCafferty talks about how he's going to beat golden boy and Olympic boxing champion Audley Harrison when they meet this Saturday. Despite the fact that on paper McCafferty's boxing record is only slightly more impressive than that of Dale Winton's – two wins and three losses – he reckons that he's got the edge this time as he's been hard in training. Anyway, what with this being the Indoor Rowing News and all, we'll leave you to guess what piece of equipment he uses regularly and which he was photographed on for the article.Unfortunately, we fear all his preparation is now in vain, as his appearance here means the full weight of the Indoor Rowing News curse (which has already sunk Pete Goss, Luke Milligan and a girl from Survivor) will undoubtedly have Mister William Hill lengthening the odds accordingly.
