That Leeds side were excellent. I was at West Ham when Paul Reaney broke his leg right in front of us- we heard the crack!

I caught the Revie team a number of times. It's a physical game that sometimes spills over to a bit of a scrap. If we were celebrating two footed tackles, over the top tackles or the way that George Best could be targeted and taken out of the game that would be a separate thing. Don't be so po faced! Here's another great match. What we forget almost half a century later was the passion - no prawn sandwiches in those days, real time betting, or leaving early for half time and getting back late. It wasn't all about trouble on the terraces. And it was a time when the players would have a booze up in their favourite local pub afterwards. And jumpers for goal posts.

I saw Little Richard at Lewisham Odeon


Little Richard's return to Lewisham Odeon in July 1975 seemed to have been memorable though for all the wrong reasons. Mick Farren's review in the New Musical Express described 'The debut date of Little Richard's UK tour at the half empty Lewisham Odeon' as 'little short of a disaster. Possibly the person least to blame was Little Richard himself'.

First came across him in Our Lucien in the Liverbirds, great in the drama GBH loosley based on Derek Hatton, younger generations Thomas the Tank Engine (softer toned narration than the original Ringo) and in more recent years narrated various stuff although not recorded on IMDB.

    • "Mysterious owners" 😆  If only there was a powerful search engine at our fingertips to find out such deep secrets.        
    • It's the "due to commercial reasons" line again that is vexing. Last year it seemed, although there was a similar level of objection, that the reasons were commercial - Gala didn't appear entirely prepared to run 3 more events, or more likely didn't have sufficient interest from other promoters / organisers who could 'sub-let' the site as with Brockwell Park (I believe?). This year they appeared more organised, had another year to plan & prepare, to the extent they actually had names for two of the three new events which indicated to me that they had third party promoters / organisers in place.  So yes, it does make you wonder whether the repeated level of objection, combined with the impending elections, led to the council 'advising' that maybe they shelve it again? I'm afraid I can't see the whole extension application just being a ruse to guarantee permission for the 'regular' event. Gala are a commercial venture with ambition - every festival's business plan is to expand, expand, expand, year on year on year. Gala won't give up until they have taken over the whole park for a Summer of Raves, and the mysterious owners are on their yachts counting their ££££
    • Thanks for that. Maybe forthcoming elections have stymied the 7 day request? If Labour get back in, do we think GALA will try with greater success in 2027?
    • Better late than never, same obscure reason as previously for not going ahead with the extended plan... "Due to commercial reasons, the event organisers have withdrawn their application to hold a 7- day event over two weekends. The application has been revised to request the use of Peckham Rye Park to hold a 4-day event over one bank holiday weekend with the following schedule: • Onsite: Monday 11 May 2026 • GALA: Friday 22 – Sunday 24 May • On the Rye Festival: BH Monday 25 May • Off-site Sunday 31 May 2026 This is the same event programme that was delivered in 2025."  GALA 2026 consultation findings report 1519.pdf
