*Thames not thanks

REPD - geography doesn’t lie… Above the thanks is north London, postcodes are just for convenience, they’re artificially drawn lines for posties…

West London clash,as in west London cup all them years ago

My favourite football wind-up is telling my Chelsea mates that they support a North London side.

Dug out my old auto lens. Still works. Variable shade strengths [Link]

A4E - Fulham's Twatter account described our clash as a "South-West London derby"...

All this talk of Chelsea’s fans heading south of the river after their game - why can’t people living south of the Thames support a south London club? I bet the percentage of Wimbledon fans travelling to our home games from south of the river is way higher than the percentage of Chelsea fans from north…. Ditto Fulham, which is also a north (of the Thames) London club…

Putney Bridge station takes about 20 minutes from the ground, and I assume that there'll be some crowd control measures after the game there. So the bulk of those at Stamford Bridge will likely be gone by the time most of us reach the tube station

Context: We had Radio Jackie covering us at KM every home game and sometimes away, and I asked Riverside Radio to become involved once we started the process of moving back to Plough Lane. They came to a few of the bigger matches, but never had a single dedicated person to cover us. That appears to have changed now and is great to see.

21 will be pleasant and a welcome relief from tomorrow’s 37 degrees.

Most chelsea fans will be on district line,so worth avoiding that after the game.

21* in Huddersfield for our lucky travellers Saturday

Putney station isn’t that far away either just over the bridge with regular trains to Waterloo and Richmond Twickenham etc

93 bus goes to north cheam from putney bridge, so good option for many, should even make last orders at 12am in spoons:-)

[Link] Do read this my dears. 'Warning from man whose eyes were damaged by eclipse."

Riverside radio seems to be a south west London station. I will tune in a bit as dont subscribe to the club radio, even though Mr 2000 is brilliant:-) well when it was free and during lockdown matches.

A bit of context to my last post. The Chelsea game starts at 7.30 pm whereas ours starts at 8.00 pm. I bet the police want the Chelsea game finished and the crowd dispersed before our game ends.

Unlikely but possible, if Chelsea v Luton had a few delays during the game with loads of added on time and then it went to penalties whereas our game against Fulham was settled in normal time with few stoppage, what's going to be busy on public transport trying to get home could be rather uncomfortable, especially those who live a bit further away and don't have the luxury of waiting for another train because there will not be one until the next day.

listen, not listing

Good to hear that Rob. Like comfy slippers, some things are best left untouched, for the stick Rob and Mikey T get (indirectly btw) for a far away and old fan like myself, tradition is something that is needs preserving. Realised this yesterday, when I got a telling off from the missus for turning of the bluetooth (which I didn't know existed) on our dining room hifi and put on a CD of the same album instead. I genuinely thought it was the radio and made me think, that's a good shout I'm gonna listing the the album now. She has gone full bore tech interested lately and me, its nah, leave things alone.

Good thinking!

Trigger- for the last eclipse, I went fishing. Fish on the local lake would rarely be on the feed at lunch-time, but the eclipse confused the hell out of them. Had about 90 minutes of a bite a cast (mainly tench, but one carp), and then it abruptly stopped.

Morning all. Alan IoW - unlikely I would have thought.

Surely not. That can’t happen. Unless it’s the chaps’ choice themselves of course.

So is that bye bye Mikey T and Co?
