The NEC Arena in Birmingham was the busiest hub on the final day. A forty five minute drive from the city centre, it had the badminton and table tennis halls packed at 8:50 am on Monday morning.

The schools on vacation meant mothers were bringing in their children to sporting arenas. As my train from Birmingham New Street wheeled out, I met two Scottish boys of 7 and 9 and their mother, busy scanning the schedule of the day.

There was no Scotland on the final day, but Ben Thomson and Jason Thomson wanted to catch PV Sindhu in action, so had their mother buy tickets for 85 Pounds for each of them.

PV Sindhu was the biggest draw on the final day of the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. NEC, that was hosting Table Tennis and badminton had a footfall of over 72,000 on Monday the 8th.
