They have a very big screen in the room on the far right (if you are facing the bar from the door) and another TV just to the right of the bar. I don?t think they had a screen on the other side of the bar last Saturday.


It was absolutely rammed on Saturday as it is the only place on that lower end of LL that shows the rugby. I watched the first half there and went to the CPT for the second which was much more congenial.

Their big screen does seem to be suffering a bit at the mo.

It's got a sallow colour and seems a bit out of focus now, perhaps it was calibrated to project through a smokey fug.


But I can vouch for the EDT as good rugger atmosphere, and there are plasma/LCD tellies in the left and centre bits.

No they have a new screen to the left. The old one was above the door (Roundabout end), there is now a pretty big screen literally above the bar. I noticed it the other week when Man U were on the Big crap screen, and Arsenal were on the other side.


Have been surprised how "quiet" the CPT has been for the rugby. It wasn't dead last match, it actually had a nice number of people, but in the past I have known it to be absolutely crammed for England rugby matches!

I tried to get into the EDT for the rugby but gave up and went to the CPT instead. Stood for the first half tbut then actually got a seat at the bar for the second half so I'm definitely going there again.


Strange how Brendan and Keef were there to...we'll have to put little signs round our necks to identify ourselves!


The CPT had a good atmosphere and the Aussie bar staff took the stick we gave them in good spirits.

Errrr.....can I plead the fifth so as not to incriminate myself? And any awful behaviour may have been down to vast quantities of alcohol consumed rather than my general personality.


Do you not like pink on a man?;-)

Hello Guys,

Just to let you all know, we shall be Proudly screening England V France with sound on all 3 Screens on Saturday Night. I am sorry about the temporary reduced picture quality (particulary with text) we had on the big screen to the right of the door and the plasma. We have sorted out the plasma screen to crystal clear and we have narrowed it down to a small connector problem with one of the big screens which I am on top of.

We will be back on top form for this fabulous weekend of England Triumphs with a few silly French songs thrown in when we crush the caveman.

It's going to be big fun.

Best Regards

Good call on the CPT, plenty of space to watch the game and a pretty good atmosphere.


However on the downside, there seemed to be a shortage of beer? All off other than Strongbow, Speckled Hen or one lager (not sure which). Poor planning surely for what was always going to be a busy night. Also, not be then for a while and it looks even more run down inside now, I s'pse some people might call that "charm".


Headed to the EDT later for post match celebrating - what a top game/night!

Cracking game indeed and I thought the EDT screens were top notch - definitely sorted from the recent blur-o-vision. Good to actually meet AlMurray as well


But some people! Turning up 5 minutes before kick off and actually thinking they might get a table????

Never mind they can always stand straight in front of people who actually bothered to get there at a decent time, block their view and then get indignant when it's pointed out to them. Tossers

Yep, Mr & Mr Broad Shoulders Rugger Tw@ts standing at the front may well be the least popular people in East Dulwich at the moment, for any one who was at the EDT methinks.


And yes, hats off to AlMurray for having turned around sports watching at the EDT in recent days. Not to mention the Hot Dog stand!!

I went over to The George in Balham (same owner as CPT), and my God it was busy, and I don't mean a bit full, I mean mental! It's a massive place, and there was nowhere to move. My friend was queing for the bar when I got in my cab from ED, and when I got there she'd made no pgress at all. Nothing the staff could do, it was just insane. Eventually we managed to get a couple of pints and fight our way outside (losing half a pint on the way). Absolute result though was that the outside area has a big screen on the wall, so I could smoke and watch the game, and most people inside hadn't cottoned on to this! :)-D


Don't think I can handle the final there... No idea what I'll do for it actually, bloody England have royally f**ked up my plans for a stag do in London!

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
