I was able to make three visits to Wembley Arena to watch the Championships & it was well worth the effort.I was staggered by the skill,accuracy & power of these wonderful athletes.Having played the game to a good club standard when I was younger,I could better appreciate the ability of these world-class players & the central position of my seats gave an excellent view of the action.However,I hope that the organisers will look carefully at the presentation of the event,particularly on the semi-finals & finals days when over-loud music,strobe lighting & an over-excited announcer spoilt the effect by trying to pander to the modern idiom & turning the introduction of each match into a manic disco session! Finally,please don't embarrass those of us living in this country by having competitors walk through stereotype London buses,phone boxes & other gut-wrenching symbols beforehand.
