Roland Garros Revamp Hits Snag

Now I wonder if a vote to re-locate the French Open will re-surface?

I had heard a few months ago that another possibility is to move to a new site south of Paris.

Well it's interesting that Paris got the majority vote of 70% to continue. The FTF need to either decide to remain at RG or go with the growing demand and consider moving elsewhere.

I personally think it needs to be the latter if they are to keep pace with the AO and Wim in having facilities to deal with the overstretched schedule and weather.

Yes I would agree with you. By moving to a new site they won't be restricted by the size and can start with a blank canvas. By all accounts the current site is not too accessible.

Leave paris, sacre bleu, no freaking way, are they then going to import Aholes possibly from NY to populate the stands in order to maintain the tradition.

Parisians, booze up, brewery.

This is sad.

It is LF. Kinda think something is at hand which seems to be forcing the FO ever closer to moving away from RG.

Its going to take a long time whatever happens now...

When I went there it didn't feel any more cramped than Wimbledon. It seemed broadly similar.

Although may have something to do with the fact I went on the last few days, so outside courts were not in use.
