"Back Andy" - Murray's cheerleaders hit Centre Court

Wonderful World Of Wimbledon / Editor / 24 June 2008 / Leave a Comment

The Betfair mobile 'Odds-o-meter' gives our Andy the ultimate courtside support...

So how do you get on to Centre Court to cheer on your hero? Well it's not easy and it involves a night under canvas to make sure you get into one of the sporting world's most exclusive pieces of real estate! So we thought "what the heck - let's randomly pick four hapless souls from the office and despatch them to SW19 with the task of giving our man the support he deserves".

Let's call them Andy, Ollie, Amy and Annabelle (because that's what they call themselves), arm them with two tents, four sleeping bags, some sandwiches and a little bit of fizzy drink to get them through 'til dawn.

A 6am knock from the Wimbledon staff means you have to pack the tents away and step into line (or what they call on the All England Lawn Tennis Club's website 'a tighter formation').

Et voila! Wimbledon's very first live, in-play odds-o-meter is ready for action - a doddle. All you need from there is two eye-catching girls, two blokes dressed in ginger wigs, 14 t-shirts and a bit of gumption... C'mon Andy!!
