obviously ,, :p,,
so are u going there?

No :sad: I cant this year as it my exam period and I am working

I went last year and it was a washout - saw Jankovic and that was it!

aww!!!,, i was going to go last year,, dono y i didnt tho !!
i would have gone ,, but my exams are the same!,,

Anyone going to Wimbledon??

im not sure!!,, wanna but to get the tickets u have to camp out,, fuck tht!

im not sure!!,, wanna but to get the tickets u have to camp out,, fuck tht!

Not true. If you get on the queue by 8:30 am it very easy to get ground admission tickets. ;)

rain in birmingham?

Yeah it is pretty easy to queue for ground passes. Especially if you go in the first week you get to see some really good matches between high ranke players!

really:eek:,,, are u sure?,, ( as u can tell i didnt know hah)

Any action at the moment (is livescore stuffing up?)

when do the matches start?:scratch:

really:eek:,,, are u sure?,, ( as u can tell i didnt know hah)

I go several times every year. It is never a problem to get in providing you get there by 8:30. Actually quite often a person can arrive quite a bit later than that and still be alright especially if the forecast isn't great.

Im very close to Edgbaston...the rain has stopped but it feels very drizzly if you understand..like it is going to start raining again any second :shrug:

Last time I was there...I went at 6 am and still got center court seats.

omg!!!,, i will see if i can go this year then :D,, i prefer to have a ground pass tho!,,,

I think the wife and I will be going to Wimbledon next year

The grounds are cool because often you may see some of the players wander around. I think it was about 5 years ago I was there and had lunch with Hingis' mom. Nice lady.

Anyone know when matches will begin ? :confused:

omg!!!,, i will see if i can go this year then :D,, i prefer to have a ground pass tho!,,,

Well ground passes are the easiest to get. It is the Centre Court and Court One tickets that go fast and usually require overnight queueing. But the ground tickets are much cheaper (only 20 pounds this year) and require only 2 to 3 hours queueing.

I was the alone in the queue yesterday :) Everybody tells to go there in advance but you dont need. But of course maybe for the final week end it s not the same.

Err, I was refering to Wimbledon tickets not DFS Classic tickets. I've never been to the Birmingham event, although no doubt it is a lot of fun.

funny cause weather.co.uk said "most cloudy" today and chance of rain "20% only" - hopefully rain will stop soon...

i just think that the scoreboard is down

How do you want us to know? We live here, we are not meteorologists or fortune teller :lol:

no, is it rain I ask, why is not start, not when? :)

you can always watch my highlights :p

glad i just took the Tues/Wed off work
yesterday it was getting colder by the min

why is shit come out your mouth? nobody knows. :speakles:

Birmingham UK - Europe, 2008 year - and no one knows is it rain or why is not start , i can't belive :help:

You actually listen to the weather people?

Stop being a lazy asswhipe then and google for a weatherradar or something. Stop freakin' asking people randomly. WE DON'T KNOW EITHER! :rolleyes: :help:

ok , maybe they are playing and we don't have score :lol:

ok , maybe they are playing and we don't have score :lol:

Me too :( I think there is a problem for everybody :mad:

how long approx is 3pm??

my scoreboard is fekd 2....

the scoreboard is not disfunctional. there are not matches on the court, so there are no live scores either. it's not that hard to understand.

all scores from all tourns stopped working :spit:

knowing the tourn they'll probably spread out the 8 matches, 2 on Centre, and 6 others on the outside courts.
