Wimbledon is one of the biggest and most popular sporting events in Britain and is arguably the biggest tennis event on the world calendar. With a ticket to Centre Court being one of the hottest available it is essential that the car park is able to cope with the 15,000 capacity crowd that arrives many times every year; particularly when the tournament reaches the latter stages or one of the top world players is playing. Of course, if the car park was run to make money then it could do so very easily; people need to park and will do so regardless of the price. However, this is certainly not what is happening. Parking for the day is only £20 and, although it may be somewhat limited, it is definitely worth this small expense.
The last thing you want to be doing in the evening after watching an intense game of tennis is walk for miles in the crowded darkness to catch a bus or train and, let’s face it; there is no chance that you will be able to catch a taxi with thousands of other people trying to do the same! Therefore, the car park offers a perfect solution. It is a very short walk from the stadium which means that there is no hassle when you have left the stadium and you can proceed home without a problem. This is certainly not what would happen if you chose to catch the train after the event instead, so the only option is to use the car park!

I cannot wait until Wimbledon 2010. I think that we may even have a UK winner this year and it will be so exciting. I always try to go there and see a few matches, even though the big courts are getting rather too expensive for me to afford these days. I think that I might save money and watch some of the promising new comers on the smaller courts instead as that can be just as much fun I always hire a car and then make sure that I get to the grounds when they open so that I can settle myself in a good seat for one of the early matches. If I go in the second week I sometimes watch the youngsters playing or the older players, depending on which is the most exciting.
I study the program a lot and I have still got the programs from all the years I have visited, some rather dog eared and a few with signatures of players on them. I am not star struck but when the opportunity arose for me to ask for a signature I thought that I would get it as it may be something worth passing on to my children that they could get some money for, as I am spending all of the rest of their inheritance and enjoying myself! That is why I am watching the tennis, I also go to other sporting events, have breaks abroad and generally have a good time – I worked hard enough and I deserve it!
