What happened to the Late Knights thing? Missed their beers on Saturday....also the outdoor bar is a welcome improvement but still a long queue that could be alleviated by simplifying the selection and a sign before the tent with the options? 300 people pausing to work out which of the ten craft beer cans they want doesn't really work too well. Great to see a win though!

I agree that improving information about beers/prices would help so that people can make a choice before getting to the front of the queue. There is a large blackboard behind the bar but it remains unused to date.

The bar was very busy on Saturday (they had to restock apparently) but I think the queue was caused in part by the fact that it was understaffed. This appears to be something the club is addressing (and for which they are paying London Living Wage):

The new outside bar is a great addition and a few minor teething problems are only to be expected. Sadly, no more home games until 19/11 - at least that provides time to recruit!

I spoke to man who knows a man in the Brick Brewery recently and he suggested that LK's head-brewer was going to be part of some "backed" enterprise. But not sure whether the LK brand will survive. He thought not.


Good news if it's being rescued.

That's sad to hear re. Late Knights but makes a visit to their still trading Beer Rebellion pubs in Peckham & Gipsy hill a must for me if it helps them out.


Back to the outdoor bar - definitely a positive addition. But give people too much choice and it takes longer for them to order and longer for bar staff to locate the cans. The choice they currently have is already much more than most pubs in the area and if people want to get fussy about it ...go to the pub instead! I reckon all it needs is 3 or 4 choices max. Perhaps a regular golden IPA, something dark plus a bog standard mass produced lager.


A choice of three priced to the nearest ? and perhaps contactless payment would help it tick nicely.

Last two home (Saturday) games the queue for the outside bar was very long - 15 minutes or so as you approach half time. On the positive side you can still watch most of the action until you actually get inside.


I agree - knowing the options before you approach the front would help a lot. It was a recurring conversation for all those ahead of me. They also managed to run out of Gamma Ray just as I was approaching the front each time, so a sign of what's available (a smaller selection) and what's still in stock should move things along nicely.

"here, the effects of gentrification have combined with the backlash against corporate football to create an air of humorous, right-on politicism"


Also contains the "H" word.

Spot on Jah. I was wondering what it was that seemed familiar...I couldn't figure it out!


And I'd love a pair of those cerise socks! :))

A perfect case of 'lazy journalism'...load of nonsense really. When I spoke to him I told him I knew it would the usual 'crap stitch up job' (My name is Mishi Morath) and, surprise surprise...it was!

But I'm firmly in the 'all publicity is good publicity' camp..and you simply can't buy 'advertising' space like this.

You actually don't have to go to Wembley...


At 7.00pm, in the Club Boardroom, we are holding a small non-denominational wreath laying ceremony at the Club War Memorial. This will be following by the bar being open, where you can watch the England v. Scotland match on the televisions in our bar. Thus saving yourself lots of money, and not to far to travel home...

And don't forget...Saturday is our annual 'Pay What You Like' match, with all profit to be donated equally between our 2016/17 charity partners 'Football Beyond borders' & 'Dog Kennel Hill Adventure Playground'. Usual admission prices are ?10 for adults; ?4 concessions & Under 13s FREE.

Please feel free to spread the word among family & friends through whatever forms of social media, websites & forums you use.


Thank you.

    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
