Yes, so £50,000 quite an amount to pay from council funds to bring them here then.

Have to say reading through the thread, most conspiracy theories appear to be the other way really.

I think a blanket ban on analogies needs to be applied immediately now!

Are you saying that the Jaguar Exhibition Halls aren't suitable for high-profile events? You're possibly right, but don't think that a minor round of the Davis Cup against Russia without any tennis players that anybody had heard of in it would attract 10's of thousands anyway. God knows how...

I was looking at the bigger picture, you said worthwhile paying £50,000 for the 9000 spectators paying for food, car-parking etc(not sure about the merchandising though, is there an ACL shop selling ACL T-shirts? There should be, would make a fortune selling them to people off here). Surely if...

Thqat's okay, lots of people have made the mistake of using an "L" instead of an "N" when referring to King.
