I would believe those figures if they were for tickets sold (inc season tickets), but for actual attendances, nah...

That'll be the kids for a quid thing. Its a great idea, however the parents will be paying long term due to chronic neck problems.

top work RD, thanks.


you know I've been thinking about trying out aome django development (there's lots of jobs in ireland for it), and these guys would host an app for free

https://www.openshift.com/developers/pricing


If I've got some spare time I might write a little web app to take the hard work out of it next season, just a thought

Thanks Jah, Mick & EP.


Go for it EP. I was thinking earlier that it would be good if there was a more user friendly way of storing and presenting the weekly forecasts, results and table, rather than having to trawl back through pages and pages...

maybe a maxxi should be the lowest score of the week, just to keep them in touch.

You need something else there's no incentive to join late or to carry on if you miss a week through illness or holiday.


If I do the webapp maybe I'll post randomly generated (from 0-2) scores thirty minutes before kick off if no scores have been entered.

I was second in the rugby, do you think we should retire to give the others a chance? :)...

Now, now, if you recall I withdrew the "whatever-is-the-opposite-of-yours" prediction and agreed I would play nice and by RD's rules.


You know who I'm bound to go for anyway (no mind games... honest) B)


Oh, and RD? Retire? To spend more time concentrating on the EDF Fantasy Premier League you mean? If I look down I can just about see you.

As per FA Cup Final...


- If both players predict the correct result and correct score i.e 3pts, then the nearest prediction for the first goal scored wins. If by a miracle you both predict the same time, then it's decided by a toss of the coin.


- If both players predict the correct score only i.e 1pt, then closest to the actual score wins. If this is equal then the nearest prediction to the time of the first goal scored applies, and so on.


I think that covers all eventualities.

I never said I would do it there and then (I didn't and, until today, hadn't) and have not stated since that I had, had had, or had had had done it since then - until today.

But that doesn't appear to be a formality. Can't think why not - Newcastle don't want him back so who else is there? I hope he signs. He may be a big/physical player but he has some skills too - unlike whoever BFS would get as a replacement.

      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."

      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.
