@SMG......as I hate quoting a whole bloody post if it's quite long


LO can legally object (and will do if necessary) to either WH or Spurs moving into the stadium due to it's proximity to their ground. It would be a scandal if the stadium did not have an athletics track. Given the crap FIFA dished out with the WC bidding malarky, it would make GB no better with its legacy promises. Why has nobody (it would appear) thought of retractable seating so the running track could be covered for football and taken away for an athletics meet.

Old Orient won't get 40,000 fans but part of the WH bid includes selling tickets for next to nothing to the locals so they can fill it.

That seems a better option for a club of Orients size.


And those cheap tickets are to be sold through local schools. I think that seems entirely reasonable as football increasingly vanishes off the radar of all but the wealthiest people.

It's all about self interest to all parties though. I have mixed views about leaving Upton Park but recognise that the club can't grow situated where it is. Match days are chaos, one local tube and miles of traffic congestion, I'm sure it puts people off going, along with the prices of course. (?65 for a ticket to see Liverpool, top price but still.)


At least West Ham are doffing their cap to the legacy but still stand to benefit from the tailor made transport network, oh and Westfield for when the footy's shite.


Tottenhams bid is pure self interest as well, with no real link to the legacy. They want a ready made transport link, something that their existing new stadium plans don't have and proximity to Canary Wharf and the City for lucrative corporate sponsorship.


I have a horrible feeling that the city might swing it Tottenham's way.

Well let's face it Chavski have only had any real success in the last 6 years. Interesting to see that their players actually made an effort last night. Do you think the two new arrivals might have something to do with it?

So El-Hadji Diouf has gone to Glasgow Rangers. Good riddance is all I can say. Anything could happen in the Old Firm derby on Sunday if he plays especially seeing as he once got a ban for spitting at a Celtic supporter. So, what I'm wondering is two things. How long will he be able to keep the saliver in his mouth? And at what point in the match will he be sent off?

Will they risk starting him, or has he been taken on just to wind up the Celtic faithful?

Important win for Arsenal last night, of all their remaining matches they only have two "hard" games, Man Utd and Liverpool and both of them are at home - 3/1 odds to win the league look generous - especially as Utd and Chelsea likely to progress in Champions League and Arsenal unlikely to.

I've told you before and I won't tell you again. No no no no no no no no no no Annasfield. NO NO NO NO NO. Just because you don't want Man Utd to equal your title winning record and Liverpool have no chance this season it's no excuse to want the Gooners to win it.

Unbearable moi Keef? How very fucking dare you! I never said we'd win anything this season but if we do and we're out of everything else it'll be the Champions League and if we win that (unlikely as it may seem to some of you) I think Spurs fans everywhere will certainly have the bragging rights to be unbearable.

Ahem, a win this season would surpass their record...


Personally I like the Spurs and after the years in the wilderness it's nice to see them doing well. COYS (after United of course). Obviously I'd like to see United winning the CL as well but it would be an amazing story if Spurs won it. I'd be happy for them.

      Chango - New local gem alert!

      By Sue · Posted

      But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?

      Poundland East Dulwich soon to be replaced by Tesco Express

      ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."

      You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
