I might try for some London ones, would like to get down to St Marys but the train tickets put me off. Am hoping we might end up somewhere other than bottom of the table this term, so should be more fun (given the lack of a manager and the -10 points I'm not going for promotion). Otherwise I'll be in the cpt! How about you?

My brother and parents have bought 2 season tickets between us. I tend to go down with my eldest (17) and sometimes second eldest (15) mainly the evening games.


My eldest will try and go down with a friend on Saturdays probably my coach. He is trying the coach out for the first time at the weekend for the Ajax game (we are fortuate that my parents live there still). On occasion I have gone down on my motorbike.


We definately go to some london games especially the very local ones.

Good work! That's more of an effort than I've ever made, but whne I get my own transport.... (hope the missus isn't reading!). I'd have liked to have gone to the Ajax game, should be good fun hope the edlest enjoys it. You've got me thinking now - who are we playing in Lonodn?! Milwall, Charlton, then I'm stumpped!

Well the bookies fancy the three relegated from the premiership to get back up again, plus Reading. But as Newcastle seem to be disintegrating rapidly I wonder if they will even finish in the top half of the division? I am not sure what Reading in a post-Coppell world are capable of either. But Ipswich managed by Roy Keane look a good outside bet...And you're right about Sheffield United - definitely don't back us!


I wonder who Leeds will spend the Delph money on? Surely they are going to start the long haul back soon??

Obviously I'm hoping Ipswich will be up there, but it's been a strange summer of mainly rumours rather than exciting new signings. Apparently Priskin is putting pen to paper today, and Lee Martin, a young winger we signed from Man U, looks good. I'd be disappointed if we didn't at least make the play-offs.


I think Boro will struggle to score enough goals, but they should be good enough for the top six. I'd go for WBA, Sheff U and maybe Cardiff to be pushing for automatic promotion.

      The Mansion Tax

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!

      I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices.

      How late is your Christmas Card

      By Cancerian · Posted

      Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
