It's very amusing. Just did a Twitter search for his surname and, if anything, Rugby League folks' opinions of Oily John are a bit on the mild side, compared to the Tennis fans! Somehow, the broadcasters don't seem to get the message. Edited June 28, 2022 by Futtocks 1 Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.

17 stone giant Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Wimbledon: Plans for stadium and 39 new courts moves closer after vote - BBC Sport Not complaining about or giving an opinion on the above, but just curious what they will do with all those tennis courts for the rest of the year. 39 new courts sounds a lot to me. From elsewhere I discovered that: There are 18 grass courts used at the Wimbledon Championships, while the All England Club also has 20 grass practice courts and eight clay courts. So they've already got 46 courts, and they want to build another 39? Or are they perhaps replacing some of the existing ones with better ones? Either way, they must love their tennis in Wimbledon.

As far as I know, they will be moving all qualifying from Roehampton to Wimbledon plus there will be extra practice courts, I assume for the rest of the year, the extra courts will be used by the members, weather permitting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
