George, welcome to the forum - sorry to delete your thread:
We're delighted that you've all joined up to the forum and are posting here but it's best not to use the forum for this level of gossip - however interesting! We pride ourselves on our factual accuracy and lack of argument and upholding of great debate and we hope that you all continue to post in that spirit.
I'll second that, welcome George and everyone else who's signed up in the last few days, great to hear what you all have to say and hopefully you all realise that we're all great fans of your tennis

I'm glad I read that one before it was deleted. Unfortunately, I missed Barnsey's revelations about Vicky Brook (made all the more interesting by Madeleine's claim that it overstepped bounds of decency).
Is it possible to "third" the first two comments and Johnnylad's request in the post immediately above? It doesn't seem fair to use this site to put up rumours about other people's personal lives, particularly given that some of the comments on recent threads -- particularly about the young women -- are not terribly respectful. . . .
I also believe that it should be deleted although i can understand why sheddie hasnt deleted it because we want to encourage players to post on the site however it should be talk about tennis not who fancies who.
I'm for deletion, too. Someone - or several 'someones' - is going to get hurt by this claptrap, and I don't want to feel I contributed to that by staying silent and letting the wee ones think they have our interest. Moreover, we have no way of knowing whether the contributors really are who they say they are. Reconsider, please, Sheddie.
I dont know who it was who did this, but it is not me, i am george coupland. Jack i recon you sould stop posting comments like that, sinse you are a lower club player and wont know much about high standard tennis. Really pissed at this
I've deleted the thread once again, and Jack I've edited part of your post, fighting fire with fire is not the way to do things and you usually have great points to make, please try and refrain from insulting new posters. Thank you.
Sheddie, please don't bring the thread back.
