A bit of a tangent here, but that reminds me of a sports expo I went to a few years ago at Olympia. They had some group of football freestylers doing demonstrations of their ball skills, which it has to be said were very impressive. Later in the day there was a 5 a side tournament featuring teams made up of representatives of the various companies that were sponsoring the event (one of which featured my mate). These freestylers also entered a team. This'll be a massacre, we thought. And it was, just not the way we expected - every single corporate team whupped them, because every time one of them got the ball they tried to do something clever with it and immediately got barged off the ball!!
Sounds about right BOTN.
I once briefly worked for a sportswear manufacturer and did the trade shows for them (not sure I know the difference between an expo and a trade show tbh so we might not be talking of the same type of event here) but the main highlight of the week back then was the after show 'show' normally involving ladies who would take their clothes off to music.
I don't suppose they do that sort of thing now, do they?!
