All England Badminton Championship

Just spent an enjoyable week watching the All England at the NIA. I think the NIA is a great venue but the seats and the food are terrible. Junk food for 6 days is more then a person can stand. The one thing badminton fans have in common is that they take exercise and most likely look after their diets. So please NIA more fruit, salads and decent bread please. And as for the seats they are an exercise in torture; they may be OK for a gig but when you are there for 5 or 6 hours for a number of days it is a right pain. For those who don't know the seating at the NIA you cant fit your feet on the floor unless you have very small feet or are willing to have your legs angled under your seat for hours at a time. Or you can put your feet on a 2 or 3 inch high thin separator but that means your legs are at an odd angle and your body weight is not spread on your bum but centred on one part so a numb bum!
