Palace support used to be quiet but is fantastic now, one of the best in the league. 3-0 down at home to Forest last Saturday, crowd still in full voice and lots of praise from Sky commentators and pundits.


It made a change to be at a Palace game on the last day of the season and have nothing riding on it. Hopefully the football will be better next year, but no worries about the atmosphere and should be great v West Ham. It will certainly be friendlier than the Millwall game, do you plan to visit there as well?

I've been there with my Norwich mate, but will give the WH game a miss, not worth the aggro, in this case quite literally.


I actually quite like selhurst park, go there with my Norwich and my Wednesday mates most seasons, but the footie's usually pretty poor (from all sides). Though in fairness with a young mocklet I haven't been this season and am willing to believe in improvements in football and atmosphere (they usually go hand in hand).


I look forward to the game between us next season, especially as we'll be filling an otter full of beer too.

Any chance Kilmarknock might make the SPL interesting today? They've already lost 5 times this season to Rangers. Given that run I suppose statistically its creeping ever closer to a non Rangers win result! I really thought Celtic where the better team in Scotland this year. What went wrong?

    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
