Scooby Soon!

I am off to Wimbledon centre court tomorrow never been so if anyone has any pointers...are there plenty of places to park around that area or should I take the train? ( i am only 90 minutes away max)

Can you take drinks/food or have they got lots of food there, anywhere nearby for lunch or dinner?

Plenty of parking - Official car parks are approx £25, Local residents also rent out driveway spaces for approx £15.

You can take a bottle of wine per person / 4 cans pp with no bother. We take two bottles of champers and sandwiches etc.

Loads of food courts and bars inside and not expensive in my opinion.

Have a great day - post up some photos later

Ohh I do say, I hope you have a jolly splendid time with your champers and strawberries! Not to mention the fantastic superb tennis you shall be watching on centre court, brushing shoulders with all the other posh toffs!

What a prat!

I concur Les. Sherrat does sound somewhat of a spotty oik don't you know! Thank the Lord they won't sully ones view of the game in their da-glow polyester shell suit, one can only imagine the odour of cheap cider and chips.

sounds like a 20 year old living at home with parents with a chip on his shoulder,

A friend just emailed me and told me beer is £4.60 and £7.50 for Pimms but everything else is not too expensive, camera going on charge and empty memory card at the ready

Unless things have changed since last year - The only lager available on draft was Grolsch - Yak!

Looks like someone has taken that a bit too seriously, or touched a nerve

Maybe I like wearing my shell-suit and drinking cider

I think he meant it as a joke, Les.

Leslie

Hard to say, it just looks like an outstanding demonstration of inverted snobbery, which is nothing to write home about really.

Les

oldsplice

Well, I prefer to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Calm down dears - I think Les had his tongue firmly in his cheek - as did I in my reply, Life's too short. Ohhhh WHY can't we all just get along

Prince Charles & Camilla, Brucie & Mrs spotted so far

Leslie

You are a perspicaceous man!

The OP was only trying to ask an honest question or two, he didn't actually deserve all that anyway!

Any photo's of note to share?

What a great day, decided to go on the train so I could have a couple of Pimms while I was there, myself and the wife managed to get in to the ground with out any tickets which caused a bit of an uproar with security when I had to go back outside again to get my tickets. I was surprised that security was so lax for such a massive event.

I only had a compact camera, may take my nikon next time:

Bloody hell when's the next match on tv

I have been catching some of the Wimbledon on TV. It was a sheer joy to watch some matches including our dearest Andy Murray's matches. I also watched that extra tall guy (I forgot his name now) who upset-beat that Raphael geezer. His service was a killer! Just WOW @ 99mph!

Glad for the ones who have been/are going there to watch it. Enjoy it.

Leslie

I have always enjoyed watching it on the box. Never had the chance to go there though.
