Hello East Dulwich Forum,


This is Raju from King's Road Cricket & Social Club - we played you guys earlier this season. Well we've got a game this Saturday in Wandsworth Common but are struggling to find one player to complete our lineup. We don't claim to be talented and this is a friendly in all senses of the word. Banter is not only welcomed, it is very much encouraged.


If you are interested, email me at [email protected]

This was posted in the what's on section if anyone is interested. This team is the team that Dave (our fast bowling captain from the game earlier in the year) has always played for until now.


I play friendly cricket for small club called Belair Corinthians in Belair Park, about a 5 minute walk from the Crown & Greyhound. We?ve seen the Stanford millions coming into the game and, well frankly we want a piece of the action. However, despite a fine record against some pretty tough friendly local oppo last season, apparently we?d have to win a national domestic competition to qualify.


Undaunted, we?ve identified a local league as our first step on the ladder to cricketing fame and fortune. However we realise that if we?re to make it big, we may need help.


We?re looking for players. Appreciate it?s a funny time of year to be recruiting, but if we?re to go ahead and join a league we need to be confident of having a decent squad of players. If you?ve played cricket to pretty much any standard, and fancy a bit of regular cricket next summer, then please give me a shout.


Thanks - Jim

    • 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" ?
    • 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.
