Modern football types! I'm 58 you ignorant pillock. Saw plenty of ultra-violence when I was a kid. Cold Blow Lane in particular was a hot bed of violence in the 60s and 70s. Saw plenty there and elsewhere.

Ditto the above really - I've seen violence both in and around grounds, some of it quite stomach churning - don't think I've ever seen anything as polite as a "brawl" though.


Certainly not one which was "exciting and nobody got hurt", maybe you're thinking of a John Wayne film?

Sense of humour failure my dear friends. Just pointing out a bit of an over-reaction by the media. Obviously the point had been made before.


Brawl refers to loosely equally matched groups where no real harm is done. If you want some a real story when the London clubs came down about a 100 of them would stand in their Pringles/Stay prest/etc then start chanting and get chased, led onto the pitch, and receive a warm round of applause from the away end as they were marched round to join them.


It got a bit silly after Man U got relegated in 74 when they suddenly got the reputation of trouble and picked up more fans. Glory hunters were Leeds and Liverpool before that.


When they came back in 75 there were pitch invasions every away match when they came back up. Rember one at Derby but it was almost dancing with 18 year olds with long hair, short jumpers and baggies trying to kick each other. Then the Man U fan who fell through the roof at Carrow Road.


Of course there was far more unsavoury stuff and generally glad it has gone.


Always had to be careful at Upton Park even in modern times.

Which is exactly what Spurs were going to do if they'd managed to buy it. Dodged a bullet there.

Not so clever maybe Jah - right click on the image and Google does it for you

    • 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.
