Davis Cup - World Group Playoff - GBR v Austria - WHO IS GOING !


Just a thread for soley stating if you are going, what days, where you are sitting and perhaps if anyone is up for taking me for a pint sometime over the weekend !

Goto to http://aeltc.wimbledon.org/en_GB/about/seatingplan/no1/seat_no1_A.html

You can click on your seating area and it gives you a typical view from that section....

I'll be almost opposite you on the Friday, in the front row of section 2. I booked a 3-day ticket there the moment sales opened, but I've since taken the AM.com mob up on an offer of a ticket in their block (section 12) for the other two days, because I think it might be kind of fun to spend a day or two at DC sitting among a bunch of nutters! ("fahmoose lest words, no?" as Rafa might say!)

My Saturday ticket for section 2 is already taken by one of the top players in the pick 'em rankings, but if the AM.commers don't turn out to be too scary on Saturday, my Sunday ticket at the front of section 2 just might be free - so if you've got a ticket right at the back for Sunday and would prefer to be a lot closer to the court, do pm me and we can swap mobile numbers just in case it turns out to be available - it will befree of charge if it is.

Of course, if the AM.commers are scary - actually, they've been posting pics on their DC thread and they don't half look it! biggrin - then you risk me sticking a Team Murray T-shirt on you while I hand you my Sunday ticket for the lion's den instead lol! evileye

I knew there was a risk you hadn't finished your weekly visit! LOL

- please get the bagpipes and Flower of Scotland over and done with on the Friday ... or save them for a funeral when they might sound more appropriate bleh (Scotland the Brave, now that's a bit more upbeat lol)
- hoots mon, ye widnae see me in one o' thae hats if ye paid me! doh
- too predictable, I'll just being some Bog(go)-standard sweets instead evileye
- check!
- good idea smile.gif if anything could be more calculated to further reduce his street cred among the journos ... wink (on that note, perhaps we should do a Hi Neil Harman banner as well, come to think of it!)

So, we can do the both together........... "Hello Drew and Count Zero" - has a nice ring to it - no?
That'll confuse the other 5000 or so punters.

Nice idea for the Neil Harman banner - I'll pass that on to the resident-banner-maker-in-chief....

Since I have about 6 (at the last count) fellow am.commers staying over on the Saturday night I might not be in a fit state to post for several weeks. Don't cheer toooooooooo loudly now!!!

Actually - it'd be best to save the cheers for Team GB.

Far more tempting would be "Stand up if you're the Count" (being very careful to ensure that that nobody forgets to hold a letter up)
