International headquarters for over 200 years.
The two island nation of Antigua / Barbuda is internationally recognized as the event capital of the known world. In June 2008, he organized an international festival called Rhythm Love romantic couples moved from around the world. It urged them to renew their vows and romance, with the background of the island's natural beauty, friendly people, andinternational artists who have invited their serenade while on the island. Similarly, R. Allen Stanford, the main sponsor, Antigua / Barbuda as not only his adopted country, but chose Stanford Twenty 20 cricket venues built within a quarter mile from the VC Bird International Airport. His version of the game is the most exciting event in the world of sport, as it is hosted by the end of the party live bands, soca diva Claudette CP Peters, Beenie Man and a variety of soca and reggaeStars in the West Indies Hall of Fame complex. Many sailors have chosen the same international world famous Nelson's Dockyard in Antigua to complete their travel history. The owner of Trans-Atlantic rowing record have completed their tour in Antigua / Barbuda. On January 3, 2007, sailed for 14 years Michael Perham at the same Nelson's Dockyard, the youngest sailor to sail solo across the Atlantic.
In April 2004, then the West Indies captain Brian Charles Lara's team made 400is not in Antigua / Barbuda against England. The images of this event and the crowd atmosphere is unique in the world of sport. Antigua is also home to an international sailing regatta in front of Antigua Sailing Week, sponsored by Rolex is known. Stanford finally out of patience, as it is now the sponsor of this prestigious event also paid. The venue is as popular as it was more than 200 years ago today, as it continues to attract all the best sailors in the world. Battle of TrafalgarSeafarers, as Horatio Nelson, Admiral Collingwood and Vice Admiral William Cornwallis, captain of HMS Royal Sovereign, Captain Richard King of the HMS Achilles, Captain Thomas Francis Fermantle, captain of HMS Neptune (the ship, the Victory paralyzed and the body of the mortally wounded Captain Horatio Nelson towed back to Gibraltar), all these sailed, sat, drank and sang songs around the yard in Antigua / Barbuda in the past. In fact, it is a piece of graffiti by some of the worldthe most famous sailors of the Dockyard Museum until now remained. The history books say that the famous navigator deployed its ships and had made repairs on site and the naval headquarters in Antigua. The site is now the name of Nelson and is the starting point and registration center, not only the annual regatta, but the sphere of entertainment after the ceremony the Governor.
I introduce myself to all that England / West Indies clash in a place that is playedis no stranger to some of Great Britain and the West Indies more celebrations. From British Airways, British Midland and Virgin Atlantic Antigua serve with direct flights from England to Antigua, the land is known to be full of loud supporters of both sides of the Atlantic, when some of the largest and most fun events of the world .
The sponsor has made sure that his degree from Stanford Twenty 20 thousand fans from all over the Caribbean received their annualto be treated. My question is simple: Where all the people to keep? If finals were passed from one hour to open the doors sold, I would suggest that Mr. Stanford of the 5,000 additional seats and the Sir Vivian Richard Stadium lease and a satellite link so that an additional 20 000 seats will be available at a price granted. You can then recreate the same atmosphere of the party and guests can watch the big games on TV. After all, many of us choose to see his Twenty20Sticky Wicket luxury games in his Hall of Fame site and we are just like those who participated in the seat ring. We have done over the past two years. Why not, Sir Allen?
Newest and fastest growing SPORTS world.
I predict that within five years of Twenty20 cricket is the largest and most popular sports in the world. My belief is reinforced by the recent success of Indian Premier League Twenty20 tournament and also the fact that America gets Twenty20Fever. At least three newspapers in New York reported that the NYPD Twenty20 Cricket has brought to New York as part of its immigration policy to raise awareness. Allen Stanford with a love for the game, it is not impossible, from the World Twenty20 cricket tournament happening in all major sports to hear very soon. Allen has the U.S. dollar, Antigua is the rum, and is called the global village becomes smaller, sport and do not go as military battles its way into the future. Although theCricket bats are in the form of muskets, remember the balls are not the balls of the same old material. Instead, these battles at night under the lights to the music swing and lots of rum, or creation of Twenty20 cricket, the term has taken on different meanings RSVP: RUM served very abundant.
See you then. RSVP.
