sparkysmum Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 In the last minute Dunblane's Andy Murray has won his place in the final of Wimbledon 2012. So unbelievably happy for him, his family and of course the whole town will be delighted. Please get behind Andy and cheer him on from where ever you are.

Olly Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 And what a great match - I got in from work just in time to catch the last set. Dunblane must be proud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Oh the pain and stress of being a tennis fan... but he's done it- roll on Sunday!! I remember watching Virginia Wade in 1977 with my Mum- a Jubilee year too. Ooh, I wonder if Andy can do it?! We've got friends coming to stay this weekend- I hope they like tennis!

Daphne Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I don't need any second bidding History is being made, no matter what happens next We are staying with friends this weekend, but I will be excusing myself Sunday afternoon, I can't believe it My Mum is a really big tennis fan, but she didn't get to see Fred Perry even though whisper whisper ....she is old enough..., in fact, thinking about it, hardly anyone would have seen it would they, with TVs being a bit thin on the ground We are lucky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkysmum Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 Don't know the stats but he can do it Was speaking to someone in the town a few mins ago who said that Andy has beaten Federer in the past...............now if only he can stay calm. Not much chance of the rest of us doing that tho' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 He's got quite a good record against Federer- I think it's fairly even between them Just hope that the pressure and nerves don't get to him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 (edited) I'd better get some dusting and Eglu cleaning done tomorrow then - the tennis, the British GP and the Tour de France......... I was just driving back from the hospital and listening to it on the radio when Andy won - good job I was driving in a 30 mph limit and had an excuse to be driving slowly!

Griffin Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Molly asked what we were doing this weekend. Cleaning out the chickens tomorrow morning, watching Serena Williams win in the afternoon, and on Sunday watching even more tennis (although I'm not a Murray fan). She was disappointed to hear I had no plans to go out but at least we're not spending any money and we need to save our pennies for our holiday in three weeks.

And chances are it'll be raining this weekend anyway...so no choice but to stay in and watch the tennis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 She's just popped into work in Oxford with her dad while he faffs about with a broken server. She likes the hot chocolate vending machine there Two others are out with friends which just leaves me with a grumpy ten year old who was due to go to the cinema with a friend but her friend is ill so that's cancelled. I've promised her a DVD from Blockbusters and a bowl of popcorn. I should be able to watch sport all afternoon with no interruptions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkysmum Posted July 7, 2012 Author Share Posted July 7, 2012 Think we'll be watching it at the Dunblane Centre or one of the hotels for atmosphere. Half the town will be there. One of the butchers made a kebab called "New Balls Please" (meatballs on a stick) and wimbledon sausages(pork sweet chilli and strawberry ) Wont be eating them myself but will serve them up for breakies tomorrow. Lots of reporters around despite the rain but I managed to dodge them C'mon Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 That sounds like fun . It's going to be so nervewracking - I don't usually mind who wins but now I do, it's going to be so hard to watch . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
