I expect this thread has probably been done to death in the past, so please bear with me.


Since Hoopers closed I can't seem to find a decent put in the area for The Rugby.


The EDT used to be good when they had the biog screen, but straining your eyes and neck to see the telly on the top corner now is awful. Are there any others? Does the Victoria show the 6 Nations?

Hoopers was the best place to watch sport and I'm still pissed off that its gone. Never overcrowded unlike the EDT and the dreadful Actress. The Castle would be my choice as it has a big screen and a few TVs. The Plough has now started to show sport too with a TV either side of the bar.

The Herne Tavern is reserving the section in front of the TV for the rugby.


Southwark Tigers and Southwark Lancers have asked this to happen so we can watch the game together and with other local rugby fans. Come join your local rugby club coaches and players.

Just because you don't like rugby doesn't mean you need to put it down. Much friendlier atmosphere than you'll get at a footie match. Usually get some good banter between opposition fans rather than agro. And loads of folk hate it when the footie World Cup is on. Take your medicine peacefully.


Now for tomorrow's big match, will the French House or any other partisan venue be showing Scotland take on our Gallic friends?

Is that right...



Wales rugby fans leave a trail of drunken carnage on streets of Cardiff after Six Nations triumph.


The city was awash with red as an army of fans cheered on their team to Six Nations victory.


But the hours of celebrations turned into many drunken scenes as the day's excitement turned to tears for some.

The article tries to play the incidents down.. but rugby fans are no different to football fans.

That's just a normal Friday on the streets of Cardiff - Rugby should be Saturday Afternoon - although lots of Welsh journalists annoyed by last nights behavior.


Last time, I saw a girl down a pint and collapse - her friends carried her into the next bar.


Anyway - In Cardiff it's the City Arms or maybe Owain Glyndwr :)

Never overcrowded. That was the problem and why it closed.

Oh good to know re Flying Pig. Big screen? Good crowd?

It was a bad night - but I'd say devastation in Cardiff not violence

Here's the WOS report - notice Isaac Hunt makes a comment :)

It's hard to understand how devastating yesterday was if you aren't Welsh.


On Screens in ED - I'd say Flying Pig, Rye and Actress have the biggest - and you need big IMHO

Take care as well with what they are showing...could be one of these * which when you read the small print means, we show the England games. Football may take precedence. Bishop was ok for Scotland game, asked for sound, not subtitles and as always they obliged. Flying pig looked to have it on as I walked past.

    • I mean good luck to you, but with 4 staff you have still failed to submit your statutory accounts for your two eligible years of operation and are overdue with them this year too. Companies House have taken steps to close you twice. Your annual loss in trading is increasing each year.  You have had two directors resign in 2022 leaving only 1 in place which isn't the best if you want good governance- but that also stops you from being able to raise funds from trusts and foundations.   
    • There's still a massive shortage of student housing in London regardless of short term fluctuations - just look at how expensive it is now and what a barrier it is to mobility! What are people worried about anyway? That there will be so few students in London that a private landlord has to cut rents and makes lower profits? Oh no! 😂
    • This is probably a stupid question, sorry. Could you contact all the surgeries whose catchment area you are in (and haven't already found wanting) and ask them directly if they have GPs with the knowledge and experience you need? Because I imagine there are not many people using this forum who can help, though I may be wrong.
    • I don't understand this, probably my fault. I thought the Crown offices were going to close completely and the  services they provided were going to be moved to local shops with space for a sub post office. But if the Post Office is  seeking franchisees for the Crown offices, that implies that the offices themselves would stay. But if they are not profitable for the Post Office, how could they become profitable for a franchisee?
