I imagine, in short, most of them.


The Gowlett have inastalled a telly for the bog competitions in the past, I'm sure the EDT will be showing the games and a host of other places.


Its a pity Hoopers have gone, have very fond memories of their early morning world cup bacon sarnies during the rugby world cup.

It's just the misplaced arrogance Jah. And before the joker ???? posts vintage footage Ally's Army '78 we learned our lesson and got on with being a tiny country playing with passion and occasionally above our means.


We know our place but usually, to the amusement of many north of the border, England don't. This phenomena normally creates marginal value for the punter but even the bookies agree this time.


England at evens to go out a the group stage: http://www.skybet.com/football/world-cup/event/15782033

From what I've read a fair percentage of Brazilians don't want the competition primarily because of the cost and how the money would be better spent elsewhere.

"But I don't ever recall a run up to a World Cup with such lack of enthusiasm all round"


Just wait til the Qatari one!!!


Everyone will surely still enjoy a world festival of colour and football once it starts if Brasil can avoid a popular revolution and/or stadia collapses.


Perhaps though it's a reflection of the modern game (ie broader levels of fitness and professialism, coupled with closer media control) that there are fewer personalities or standout talents there to get excited about.

I for one am looking forward to this world cup JUST to enjoy one without fekkin vuvuzelas - ruined last one for me


I also think excitement will pick up once it approaches and people start planning "exotic" times to be drinking in the pub


If there is less excitement these days it could be the saturation of football generally coupled with the fact that once this was a rare opportunity to see unknown and amazing talent. These days, that talent is already known, paid for and playing on your TV every week

    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
    • Was anyone else disturbed last night/early hours this morning by the party going on in someone’s garden on Crystal Palace road. Can’t see what house exactly but it’s around number 43 - 41… it was happening quite frequently last year. Seems it’s starting again! Very inconsiderate.
