Hamham-
Yep. Here's a recap for anyone who was wondering, like me.
Got there at 5:55am.
Cycled straight to the front of the queue.
Place 2600 in the queue.
Put the bike away. There's loads of safe bike parking.
Queued for 4.5hrs. Slept the first 1.5hrs.
Bike tools and helmet put away at the checked baggage area, security wouldn't let me in with them
£25 on the door, they take card now, for a grounds pass.
Into Court 3 at 10:30, stayed there the whole day.
Saw a brit go out, then a fabulous match that Gael Monfils won, then Wawrinka.
Fucking top notch day out.
P.S. - don't leave your seat to go the loo. You lose the seat and won't be able to get it back without queuing for a few hours. Pee in a bottle if you need to.

i'm going this wednesday to queue for a ground pass ticket with some tennis-mad friends.
we aim to get on one of the outside courts, see some good quality even matches, rather than federer thrashing some poor unknown guy on centre court.
what time should we get there? he says 06:30 but I think even that may be too late...
