 You continue to show your utter heartlessness, after the umpire was off sick for weeks and needed an operation. Have you ever thought what if it was you in the umpire's situation? 


 I think you are not really comprehending what I am saying, when he hit that umpire and he was crying and sobbing afterwards, the world media started trending it and he became known. There is no such thing as bad publicity kind of cliche.

Indeed, now replace "pr stunt ..." with "unfortunate accident" and there is a ( still fairly arguable ) point there. As it is, the point is seagull's.

I reckon Finn will get a Q wildcard.

And maybe Aidan too.

But didn't think any of the 2001-ers stood an earthly chance.

Now what about little Georgie L????

Not really being serious - but not impossible.

I saw Aidan in Glasgow and he is a great prospect must have a good chance in the Junior draw.
I would have thought QWC maybe for Roehampton ?

Im sure it was only two years ago it was still free, then £5 last year and now up to £10. When it was free use to be a little gem. Still not bad for £10!

 Thanks for pointing this out.  I got my order in today as I always love to go.  I guess having established the principle of charging last year, prices just will go up every year, but for now at least it's still great value.
