Hospital has said 20-30 weeks for my stones to come out great Xmas I’m going to have

I’m 70 and I’m getting lined up for a full knee replacement.

OI - Brendan Kiernan?

Wednesday will probably win League 1 by a margin next season.

Sheffield Wednesday is a massive, historic club with a loyal fanbase in a city that lives and breathes football. If more fans return to Hillsborough, the club can cover its day-to-day costs and move towards a viable sale to a new ownership capable of restoring long-term stability."

Quick recovery Sandy

Shroot's Dad was fairly mouthy over how good his son was (in other areas a nice guy). It was someone else whose name escapes my ageing brain who was off to Barcelona.

Cheers Hash!

Keefy - I had to do the same with my kids' inheritance!

STD Rodger and Oli run the traf and Rodger is the director(and landlord) of the Co-op who own Hope, he also has the Cryer theatre in Carshalton. Oli has the Hand and Marigold that he opened earlier this year and it is doing pretty well I believe.

interesting article on Shroot - [Link]

Get well soon Sandy!

Did Robin Shroot leave us with a tantrum or am I misremembering / confusing him with someone else? Maybe he ended up hating us or something?

Sandy, he has been advised 1 at time next one in January. Waited so long he's had to spend his kids inheritance to go private.

OtD - Robin Shroot, who spent most of his career playing in Norway, mainly for 2nd tier Hodd. I think he still coaches out there now.

That's the feller, Nick. Although I think something went wrong with his move to Barcelona. Something trivial as I recall, like not being good enough.

Keefy - not too bad thanks. Had both knees done (total in both) last Monday (13th) and I'm pretty mobile now, although still in a bit of pain.

Sandy, how's your recovery going? My 70 yr old friend is having total knee replacement done next month.

Nick. Saw that. It's excellent news. Wonderful little pub.

Thought the Hope's Roger had something to do with the traf? Was told they recently reopened the Hand and Marigold in bermondsey street se1

Good to hear that, nick. All the best with it.

Happy Friday hat trick

I think newly promoted clubs to league 1 have to have a capacity of 5000 of which 2000 are seats.

The player in OTD was the one who left us to play for Barcelona 😂😂😂

If anyone fancies owning a pub it looks likely that you will get the chance. I think the Trafalgar Freehouse in South Wimbledon will be announcing that they are going to go the same route as the Hope in Carshalton and try and raise the money to buy the Freehold by become community owned, kind of AFC Trafalgar. The investors in the Hope did pretty well from their investment and also saved a pub that has again been awarded Greater London pub of the year again in 2025.
