One of the biggest regrets of my life is that I could have attended(and didn't) the funeral of Harry Cripps around 13/14 years ago)..Shameful as I couldn't be assed as it was raining and I've felt guilty at not saying a massive "Thanks" to the Man who spilt blood for Millwall and personified the true Millwall spirit....

He was at the heart of the defence who were part of the Unbeated League Record Home run at The Fortressthat was The OLD Den that lasted 59 matches over 3 seasons(1964-66).

I was "Harry Cripps" on the Worldwide Betfair Sports Site in his honour.


His Testimonial?...I went but missed the "murders" that took place all over South-East London and in the ground that night when some Hammers Fans went into The Cold Blow Lane Home End at it truly "kicked off!"....

    • Had a great experience with Paul. He sorted out a lighting issue we had very efficiently and I would highly recommend him! https://www.checkatrade.com/trades/edgleycontracting382245

    • Another recommendation for Dulwich Test and Services Centre. Only been using them for a couple of years but wish I’d found them earlier 
    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
