    This is the problem with young kittens nowadays, only know how to envy, not on how to use their PAW and scratch on credit card for tickets .... wakakakaka. What happened to my motivational speech ......:eek::p

    I am not going to bother asking questions on behalf of some "lazy bum" enjoying Stadium Astro at home ..... :p so might as well you make the effort to see Taufik himself before he retires.

    Really, the broadcast picture quality of Day 1 leaves room for improvement ....... and there are too many seats in the actual stadium still available for your "huge frame". :p

    Not to mention THAT GUY prattling "expletives" all throughout the rallies, makes me feel tired easily. Probably the reason why all MAS doubles pairs lost on Day 1. :eek::mad::p

    Luckily, it had always been my mission to get away from terrible commentating.

    Excellent. Hopefully the swine flu thing does not boil things up further.

    We had a bit of a challenge here, thus pjswift and Jen will only be departing tomorrow evening direct to Hyderabad, arriving around midnight.

    Whereas I am moving via the longer (and more importantly, cheaper :D) route via Chennai, turning into Hyderabad on Thursday morning. Should reach there before the round of 16 commences.

    Hi, all...
    I've been in the stadium since 9th, and truly it needs more BC members to fire the crowds up. Locals only cheers while Indian players got point, and other cheers come from players bench, especially from China and European supported their teammates.
    Might be its related with the security arrangement, swine flu issues, and ticket price, but, hey, this is world championship, and the players deserve more cheers and crowd...

    Hey Copadh,
    This is truly sad for me but even after having the tickets, I am completely stuck with my work in office and will be able to attend the semi's and the finals only as they fall on the weekend.:crying:

    Ah, hullo again, copadh. Reporting live again, I see ......

    I'm sure the situation will improve further from tomorrow onwards, with additional BC "heavyweights" arriving tonight and tomorrow morning.

    Though I must say I am concerned with the lack of spectators, even India Open had more.

    Abedeng the big reason why Indian Open had more spectators was because there was not this much security and the entry to the event was free.
