I'm part of a recently-established casual beginner's ladies' football group who meet on Saturday morning on Peckham Rye common. A lot of us live locally and have started meeting mid-week as well for an evening kick about on the common, but as the days are getting darker we probably can't keep that up for long.


Does anyone have any recommendations of cheap/free venues where we can run around and kick a ball for an hour or so on a mid-week evening in the area?

My friend pixysunflower just alerted me to this thread. DHFC astro costs ?35 an hour, which is cheaper than most other astros for hire.


PS: @ what time do you play on a Sat. (and now I'm intrigued as to whether I know any of you). :))

Hi Elenihm,


There's something else that you might like to check out called the London Ladies Friendly League. It consists of around 8 local women's teams of all ages abilities who play 11-a-side league games through the season every two weeks or so. Every team also has a mid week training session, at a local astroturf and you might find that teaming up with one of them (to cut costs) works out for you. A couple of the teams also have five-a-side league teams.


It's a league for all ages and abilities, VERY informal and VERY friendly, and the teams are always looking for players for anyone who wants to play. The league itself is run by Pete Deller and there is a facebook group at;

You can find out about the teams there, or just put a shout out in a post and someone will get back to you.

    • An excellent point, ed. I reckon you could possibly get the cheese down to 75g per person depending on how many courses, the cheese media one is using and the accompiaments. A thicker biscuit can really increase the power of your cheese dollar. I'd also recommend putting all the last year's chutneys and pickles from the back of the cupboard in a single Kilner jar, adding a bit of malt vinegar and a grated apple, then attaching a hand written label saying 'Pikey's Pickle: Autumn 2025'.  It's not Megan Markle levels of domestic deceit, but it works every time. Pre-portioning cheese seems arbitrary, but I think acceptable when it's 20 people. It gives people an idea of how much a serving is, and negates the issue of somebody, normally a brother in law or cousin's new boyfriend, not taking their share of the rind. Remember, you're doing them a favour. Somewhere in the room there's an older family member who could see it and never forget. It's disinheritance stuff. It also gives rise to the great postprandial game of 'Cheese!' where guests can swap their share of cheese for another. Tastier than Monopoly and far less cardboardy, cheeses can be traded like currency or commodities. Hard and soft cheeses, dependent on their relative strengths, normally settle at close to parity but I've seen blue cheeses trade at less than half the price.  It's a Stilton lover's paradise, if you can hold your nerve.  Goat cheese lovers can clean up, but need to beware. As volatile as the 1970's Argentinian Peso, it's up and down like a bride's nightie.   I think I'll stick to Neal's Yard, then.
