    Enjoying it so far, the format of the first four days is great. It's so much better than the groups (round robins) that the champions cup used to have.


    Also, great to hear the dulcet tones Clive Everton back on "Terrestrial TV." Maybe we need another BBCBBC campaign. (Bring Back Clive to the BBC) :)

    Another great addition to the event is the return to the old afternoon attire of wearing a tie instead of a bow tie, personally I think this looks great but then again I'm a traditionalist !

    Yea, I like it too, it's like an early 80's lounge suit style. The only problem with this though, is that most of the players don't seem to know how to close a tie properly. :P

    I enjoyed it thoroughly. Looking forward to watch 2014 league matches.
