Palace support used to be quiet but is fantastic now, one of the best in the league. 3-0 down at home to Forest last Saturday, crowd still in full voice and lots of praise from Sky commentators and pundits.


It made a change to be at a Palace game on the last day of the season and have nothing riding on it. Hopefully the football will be better next year, but no worries about the atmosphere and should be great v West Ham. It will certainly be friendlier than the Millwall game, do you plan to visit there as well?

I've been there with my Norwich mate, but will give the WH game a miss, not worth the aggro, in this case quite literally.


I actually quite like selhurst park, go there with my Norwich and my Wednesday mates most seasons, but the footie's usually pretty poor (from all sides). Though in fairness with a young mocklet I haven't been this season and am willing to believe in improvements in football and atmosphere (they usually go hand in hand).


I look forward to the game between us next season, especially as we'll be filling an otter full of beer too.

Any chance Kilmarknock might make the SPL interesting today? They've already lost 5 times this season to Rangers. Given that run I suppose statistically its creeping ever closer to a non Rangers win result! I really thought Celtic where the better team in Scotland this year. What went wrong?

    • 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. 
    • 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.
