MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Got a seat on Centre Court today. I've heard one can take snacks and drinks with. Never seen anyone on tele raise a tin of Stella. What is the status quo? Have drinks on grounds and then go sit down. My friend I'm going with wants to take a bottle of Champagne.
Any tips , advice , ideas and do's and don'ts welcome.
I know I should have asked a week ago Stoner, too late to order one now!
Don't spend all day in centre court. In the early rounds there are some top players on the outer courts and you can get much closer to the action. Well worth wandering around.

They keep the riff-raff out.
As above, no probs with small drinks being taken in, worst case scenario is decant into a drinks bottle (Im not an alcoholic by the way...) however last year I wasn't even asked for my ticket at the entrance, let alone have my bag searched.
Beware of the cost of booze once your in, my wife developed a taste for the champagne cocktails. Not good at £15 a pop.

I'm assuming we're already taking the Engerland footy top as read?
What is the status quo?

You're welcome
similar too cricket . Take the strongest bottle of wine you can, inject vodka into oranges , hide beer in a rucksack under loads of tampons so the guy checking the bag gets all flustered . See it as part of the experience.
its brilliant wimbledon. have a great time
- Pimms in a thermos.
- Wet wipes.
- Massive sandwiches that won't go soggy and snacks.
- Hat
- Wear something comfortable.
Grab a print out of the order of play and see which outside courts have decent players on them.
First time at Wimbledon- advice , tips , alcohol etc.
Wear white, Serve fast, Dominate the baseline, Avoid alcohol - it'll slow down your reactions for returning service - Stick to the barley water. 😀
