Where did u park Gambo ? Last time I went to Kotla (pre 2000) we had to walk for 1-2 kms :( then we couldnt find any empty seats although we had legal tickets .. so we walked back 1-2 kms ... it wasnt much fun

1500 to watch a live game in a stadium is totally worth it. It's a steal, in fact. The experience in the stadium is nothing we can explain, it's electric and only those who experience know the value of it.

As dinakkar said, if you're an Indian cricket fan and there's a match taking place in your city against the world champions, shelling out Rs.1500(which isn't much) isn't an issue. What you get for that 1500 lasts you a lifetime. holy, mobiles are allowed. Not so sure about cameras though. Some people had them, others didn't. Like dinakkar said, if some policeman does find a camera on you, he might ask you to deposit it. Sooda, thanks! Completed the same race last year as well. :D desi, I didn't drive. I used public transport. Much more convenient and hassle free. I had driven for the Champions League game and had parked about a km away. Delhi Police have introduced a park and ride option now which is quite good.

Thanks Gambit, I enjoy reading personal accounts such as this. Btw, you ran 21km non-stop? *wow*

[Desi Cartman]

^ earlier they used to have temp parking and I think thats the chor bazar ground :hehe:

OP updated with pics. Hope the resident Carl Zeiss' find them alright.

And whoever designed the groundstaff jump suits is a genius. It resembles the Pakistani kit. When the groundstaff were doing jhadu and cleaning the pitch' date=' crowd was joking that since Pakis hardly play, this is what they do for a living. :D[/quote'] Here are some pics of the Pakis doing saaf safai :giggle:
