What you mean is that it should not have an ATP tournament. 

One thing in defence of that tournament is that it must give out thousands of free ground passes to local residence to compensate for the disturbance, or certainly used to when my son lived near there a few years ago.  He wasnt even that close and there are masses of flats closer, so it must have been tens of thousands. He and his flat mates didnt have a car so werent affected by the extra traffic and lack of parking, but enjoyed going after work.

Point 3 - Nothing but it should not be Queens club. Until we stop making Tennis a Tory Toff Club then Dan Evans points will fall on deaf ears.

My stance on Queens is well known completely out of date and reeks of discrimination, bigotry and misogyny in those in charge and attend. Tory club essentially.

 So Tory's are discriminitory, bigoted and misognists? Wow. 

I should have noted in my post above (in which all the apostrophes disappeared - humiliating after my earlier comment!) that even those in the nearby council flats got given free ground passes.

 Not getting involved with the politics, but south west London is hardly a disadvantaged part of the capital. Its mostly a gentrified area with a lot of affluence.

 Like most places in London, there are pockets of affluence and poverty side by side.

 My son works for RBKC - it is the most extreme range of affluence to poverty (from Sloane Square to Grenfell area) in the UK.

 Yes, my son rented a room in an hour ex-council flat.  I dont suppose Queens Club differentiated by flats in that block which had been bought by their tenants and those which were still housing association-owned and were occupied by council tenants.
