He's listed no rugby on his board at all, just football. Went to watch a game a week ago.

I think Ants, that a lot of pubs profess to be rugby pubs, but they just mean England internationals.


Try Phil in the Prince Albert

He's a rugby man so put him to the test and see if you see the club rugby there.

Hi Guys, I only stumbled on this thread by accident. But as I'm the guv'nor of Hoopers I would like to correct any inaccuracies about showing rugby here.


Firstly we are pleased to show any sports short of pro-am waterborne bull-fighting, and customers only have to give us a bell to check if we canshow the game. There are so many sports and different games that we usually just put up a selection.


I am very into my rugby, and this summer we not only showed all the Lions games including the mid-weekers, but also some of the Tri-Nations. If there is a Premiership, a Heineken or whatever the Anglo-Welsh is being called this season, we will show it provided that the majority of people can see what they wish on a Sky channel.


And here's the rub. Mr Murdoch's Sky is getting ever more avaricious. If a publican has 2 or more TVs, as we do, we can only show 1 Sky channel, unless we cough up even more money to the plutocrat! And this season, after Sky announced, that for once, they wern't going to put up the subscription charges, in September they quietly withdrew Sky 3 from the package most of us buy (to try and force us to buy what they call their Ultimate package).


So, to this weekend. Sky is showing just 1 game over the weekend, Saturday teatime, Harlequins v Bath, lovely I thought Bloodgate meets the Cocaine Snorters! (no offence folks!), and then I saw they are showing it on Sky 3. Sky are a law to themselves, as monopolies often are. So very few pubs will be in a position to show a complete Guinness Premiership game this weekend. However we can show highlights of all the weekend's games on Sunday evening at 6.30pm.


The good news we willbe showing the Leinster v London Irish Heineken game next Friday 9th at 8pm. Hope some of you guys can make it.


Sorry this post is so long!

    • I don't think it is time restricted...the Southwark noise team's website says....(oh and look at the very first item on the list....;-))   Noise issues and nuisances that we can deal with We can help if you're being disturbed by noise coming from: amplified music TV parties nightclubs and pubs including people outside making noise DIY home renovation some construction sites barking dogs alarms / car alarms odours and fumes from commercial properties smoke commercial venues and events dust or noise from some works or equipment in the street fireworks at night from 11pm to 7am - extensions exist for the following festivals: first day of Chinese New Year until 1am the following day on the day of Diwali until 1am the following day New Year's Eve until 1am on New Year's Day 05 November until midnight
    • Surely nobody is going to want books in poor condition, unless they are rare and possibly valuable?
    • Is that not only true within certain hours? I just did a quick Google and this came up (not specifically Southwark): The Noise Act 1996 defines "night hours" as 11 pm to 7 am, and local councils can take action if noise levels are excessive during this time. This means they can issue warning notices or even investigate for a statutory nuisance if the noise is particularly disruptive, according to Gov.uk.  I'm sure it's more complicated than that, and I'm sure it's been discussed on here before, though I can't remember which thread.
    • Get on those waiting lists asap if you haven't already. I waited till after the birth and it was very challenging getting a place once our daughter turned 1.  She ended up at LEYF Camberwell (we had to accept 2 days to start and gradually got to ramp up 5 days). She absolutely loved it there after an initial shaky start but her key worker and team worked really hard to settle her in. They spent a lot of time giving her cuddles and making her feel safe. Great outdoor space and really caring, enthusiastic staff with low turnover. Would highly recommend.
