Charlotte, myself and my friend Neil watch many of the United games at the Marquis of Granby in New Cross. It's not very glamorous but they are friendly and there's usually a good mixture of supporters in there. I watched the 2008 Champions League final in there and even the Millwall boys were supporting us....can't think why?

Good to hear!


Do any of you meet up for a bit of a kick-a-bout, especially now the weather is nice? I try to play but I am shocking at tackling and generally end up kicking someone (accidently of course!).


My fianc? however is pretty good and I'm hoping that when he finally finds a job and moves down here, he can join in on some games locally if that happens at all.

Mr. Lush is correct. Check out the What's On section. You may even get to meet the "other" Charlotte (Uni player, blonde, eye-liner!).;-) Come and join us. I am utter crap: my speciality is scoring own goals, being offside, being issued yellow cards and being sent off! Have now 2 red cards to my name LOL! We already have 2 United fans in the team. I am trying to persuade Jenayr to join too. If you and Jenayr joined, that would be FOUR United fans! Woo hoo...

PS Charlotte: there is a small posse of us who also support Dulwich Hamlets FC. Let me know if you fancy going to any of those games, and I'll stick you on our PM list. I watch around 99% of home games. Jenayr and I are getting a season ticket next year - grand cost ?60. Bargain or what!

Brilliant(tu)

BTW, you won't need the gym once you start playing...means more money for drinks in the pub! Win Win!B)

Congratulations to Raul Meireles for getting the PFA Fans Player of the season award, and Scott Parker the Football Writers' award (and of course Bale last w/e the PFA Players award). But I do wonder with so much still at stake this time of season why these awards cannot be voted for at end of season rather than months beforehand!

    • 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" ?
    • 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."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
