@SMG......as I hate quoting a whole bloody post if it's quite long


LO can legally object (and will do if necessary) to either WH or Spurs moving into the stadium due to it's proximity to their ground. It would be a scandal if the stadium did not have an athletics track. Given the crap FIFA dished out with the WC bidding malarky, it would make GB no better with its legacy promises. Why has nobody (it would appear) thought of retractable seating so the running track could be covered for football and taken away for an athletics meet.

Old Orient won't get 40,000 fans but part of the WH bid includes selling tickets for next to nothing to the locals so they can fill it.

That seems a better option for a club of Orients size.


And those cheap tickets are to be sold through local schools. I think that seems entirely reasonable as football increasingly vanishes off the radar of all but the wealthiest people.

It's all about self interest to all parties though. I have mixed views about leaving Upton Park but recognise that the club can't grow situated where it is. Match days are chaos, one local tube and miles of traffic congestion, I'm sure it puts people off going, along with the prices of course. (?65 for a ticket to see Liverpool, top price but still.)


At least West Ham are doffing their cap to the legacy but still stand to benefit from the tailor made transport network, oh and Westfield for when the footy's shite.


Tottenhams bid is pure self interest as well, with no real link to the legacy. They want a ready made transport link, something that their existing new stadium plans don't have and proximity to Canary Wharf and the City for lucrative corporate sponsorship.


I have a horrible feeling that the city might swing it Tottenham's way.

Well let's face it Chavski have only had any real success in the last 6 years. Interesting to see that their players actually made an effort last night. Do you think the two new arrivals might have something to do with it?

So El-Hadji Diouf has gone to Glasgow Rangers. Good riddance is all I can say. Anything could happen in the Old Firm derby on Sunday if he plays especially seeing as he once got a ban for spitting at a Celtic supporter. So, what I'm wondering is two things. How long will he be able to keep the saliver in his mouth? And at what point in the match will he be sent off?

Will they risk starting him, or has he been taken on just to wind up the Celtic faithful?

Important win for Arsenal last night, of all their remaining matches they only have two "hard" games, Man Utd and Liverpool and both of them are at home - 3/1 odds to win the league look generous - especially as Utd and Chelsea likely to progress in Champions League and Arsenal unlikely to.

I've told you before and I won't tell you again. No no no no no no no no no no Annasfield. NO NO NO NO NO. Just because you don't want Man Utd to equal your title winning record and Liverpool have no chance this season it's no excuse to want the Gooners to win it.

Unbearable moi Keef? How very fucking dare you! I never said we'd win anything this season but if we do and we're out of everything else it'll be the Champions League and if we win that (unlikely as it may seem to some of you) I think Spurs fans everywhere will certainly have the bragging rights to be unbearable.

Ahem, a win this season would surpass their record...


Personally I like the Spurs and after the years in the wilderness it's nice to see them doing well. COYS (after United of course). Obviously I'd like to see United winning the CL as well but it would be an amazing story if Spurs won it. I'd be happy for them.

      Nursery school

      By tomem · Posted

      Not sure about changing hands but the Peckham Rye one is open and hasn’t had any random closures. Our child is very happy there but there was a resolved Ofsted complaint half way through last year.  Things don’t look good for the Devon nursery owned by the same company - looks like loads of issues with Ofsted which can be seen in its latest report.

      Have a great nhs dentist accepting patients

      By Sue · Posted

      I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.
