Two categories of behavioural intentions are presented namely situational (while spectating) and future (before attending similar events). ANCOVA is used to test the relationships in a sample of 619 spectators from both road race and mountain bike events. The paper supports previous research highlighting the importance of the social dimension of sport spectating and the link to social norms that drive environmental behaviour. It also adds to existing research on place attachment as a precursor to environmentally responsible behaviour with reference to sport spectating.en© 2016 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
