Does anywhere in ED show the rugby? Guinness Premiership, Heineken Cup, EDF etc.


I've tried to persuade the CPT, which is a stone's throw from me, to show it but was told that it was 'A Football Pub'. The two punters in there seemed to be more interested in their pint than the game they were showing. I didn't argue as the beer there is hellish expensive and the place has an atmosphere like a morgue...


Is it possible to get away from football or am I in the wrong place?

A few pubs in ED show Six nations games and internationals, but otherwise the answer is no. The Magdala used to show Heineken cup games on Saturdays (and was also the best location to watch internationals), but football always took precedence on Sundays. However, the new owners have removed all screens (and generally feminised the place) so a subscription to Sky or joining a local rugby club are your best bets. Kings College Hospital RFC is based in Dulwich Village.

I've seen them showing Rugby Union in the East Dulwich Tavern a few times. South Africa v Wales, Heineken Cup... I think the general rule of thumb in EDT is Premiership football has priority unless it's the England rugby team.


Again unless there is some top football on I'd recommend paying a visit to the Vale opposite train station which is a pub most inclined to look after the armchair sportsman - I think if the TV inactive they'll switch it on even if it's EDF Cup but probably muted.

    • Given her role, she pretty much had to go. I don't think she is an avid tax-schemer who deliberately set out to avoid tax - I do pretty much believe her story of multiple high-profile roles and looking after a child with needs. But many regular voters juggle demanding jobs and families and are afforded no leeway by taxman, so she totally should have known better But here we are - she was found to be negligent and now she has suffered teh consequence. To me that its the OPPOSITE of all parties/politicians as generally the ignore the whole thing (today we have Tice saying Farage's tax affairs are of no interest to voters for example) And it would be poor form to not acknowledge why she was targeted quite so viciously - we even have posters on here here saying "when I saw her taping on a boat that was the  end for me" - like the end of what?. Her gender and class were clear motivators for many people. Two wrongs don't make a right - but it';s interesting to see some posters on here give so many others a blank cheque. Many are planning to vote for Farage despite his dishonesty being 100x worse than Rayner PS - I don't think she will join Corbyn party - unlike him she is smart and unlike him she recognises that being In power means you can at least stand a chance of delivering results This. The Greens will have a rise in the polls on back of new leader but that is one hell of a coalition of NIMBY/YIMBYs As what would Reform do if in government to help with... well, anything?   Labour can at least point to decreasing waiting lists, lower immigration numbers, not having a different PM every 6 months - not that anyone is listening
    • So what do people want?  More housing.  More affordable housing.  But not in my back yard. That applies to urban areas too.  Easy to criticise, but where are your answers?
    • this doesn't mean anything - it's a word salad with no reference to the topic at hand. And given the video I posted it's notable that you didn't reference it at all. The subject is the proliferation of weird intimidating Flag wavers....    As for me, I didn't vote Labour at last election, nor will I in next election (if I lived in a Labour/Tory/Reform marginal, that might be different)
    • Her legacy will be the Deputy leader/Housing Secretary who was the Labour party's sleaze crime fighter who broke the ministerial code for not paying enough stamp duty on one of her houses. As Housing Secretary she probably should have known better.    I wonder if she will defect to Corbyn where she will no doubt be welcomed with open arms and the words: "You did nothing wrong, it was all a media conspiracy comrade......"
