heavy sentence
Original:
Millenium Dome chiefs have refused to discuss reports they ignored advice attendance figures at the attraction would be lower than hoped.
My interpetation:
Millenium Dome chiefs have refused to discuss reports (that) they ignored advice (that) attendance figures at the attraction would be lower than hoped.
Is it a correct interpretation of the sentence above?
And this one:
The Sunday Times says the Millenium Commission warned Dome owners the new Millenium Experience Company its own estimate was between 4.5m and 5m.
Have no idea.
Thanks
