A bunch of mostly kids - priced out of housing - blow their cash on getting in a big old field and singing their hearts out. Evokes miserable spiteful boomers to shout about how they made sacrifices. Maybe having fun now will stop them turning into horrid cunts in later life.

To all the youngers that follow Wimbledon (& therefore unlikely to follow this old git) know this - it’s absolutely natural to want success quickly. To want a quick solution to a problem. To feel you might have the answers or even someone else other than the current manager has.
