You may have heard about the Southwark News free ticket offer but I wanted to post on here so as many Southwark residents took up the tickets as possible, especially people who might enjoy the game or who have never been to the Oval before.


I have a vested interest, just so I am up front about it, as I work for the paper but it really is a great offer. I took up my tickets and cricket is a great day out and we have one of the best venues in the world on our doorstep.


Anyway the paper has 2,000 tickets for this Fridays game at the Oval and they are FREE.

Just follow below and lets hope the sun is out for the game. Incidentally it is a day/night game starting at 3.40pm so come along for the second innings after work if you can't make the whole game. Max of two tickets per application.

Anyway here are the instructions and enjoy. See you at a game soon.


1.Go 2 http://kiaoval.com 2. Go 2 'Buy tickets', click 'CB40' 3. Pick Somerset game & use 'News' code.


Thanks for your time and I hope you don't mind me using your forum, but its a good offer for Southwark residents. No idea how many have gone but try it if you are interested.

If you go to the stage I've pasted in below and enter your login, it should lead you through to the big green diagram of the ground. If you click on that it should lead you through to the 'enter code' stage.


I did it half an hour ago and it worked for me.

Thanks David, but when I log in I get this screen:


Activate Account


Use this page to activate your account to enable online purchasing. Please enter your Client reference or Membership number and surname below.


Club Members should enter their Membership number prefixed by an 'M' ensuring the number is 5 digits in length. e.g. Membership number 721 becomes M00721. Membership Code and your Surname in the form below.


Membership Code

I've done this too (booked free ticket I mean)


- PGC - I'm presuming you went through all the 'Create Account stuff and registered your email and a password so...


When you get the options of filling in your email and password with the lines underneath saying:


'activate account' (and under that Forgot Password?) - that's only for those who are already Surrey CCC members not those who have just registered email and password to get these tickets (hence the M number) so don't press that button - just press the LOGIN > box which is underneath.


hope this helps.

Thanks for this, Peckhamoldboy. Husband and 7 year old daughter have just come back from the Oval. She'd taken her DS, prepared to be bored, but had a great time. We wouldn't have bothered with a limited overs game if it hadn't been for the free tickets but it was the perfect introduction to the game. Yay! Another cricket fan in the family. My turn next time.

    • A Google search brought up eleven Chango  branches, although they don't all seem to be listed on their website. In the order they came up: East Dulwich, Clapham Common, Mayfair, Wandsworth, City of London, Wimbledon,  Parsons Green, Kensington, Highgate, Richmond, Hampstead. I think it is the positioning of this new branch that has mostly got to me. I accept that they would have to go for where a space became vacant, but Lordship Lane is pretty long, even just the part with shops in,  and choosing to  open a stone's throw away from Chacarero seems mean, to say the least. I wonder if they have made contact with Chacarero. It would be nice to think they had (in a friendly way, obviously!) As regards the apparent  marketing spiel, at least one of the online reviewers also refers to a Chango branch (the Parsons Green one in this case) as a "gem". Probably just coincidence and a word in common use to describe such places. I wouldn't know. I'm ancient 🤣
    • I like empanadas. I don't think Chango is a massive chain - it's got a few stores all in London I believe (stand to be corrected if I've got that wrong). I don't see a problem with them opening on the Lane personally. I really like Chacarero, but that doesn't mean that they should be immune from competition - if they're successful and open a couple more stores, are we then meant to stop supporting them for being a 'chain'?  That opening post does sound a lot like marketing spiel though. Is the OP perhaps connected to the new business I wonder?
    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate. I'm tempted to buy something there every week, and I don't even like that kind of pastry 🤣
    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. These Argentinian cornish pasties are clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has.
