It looks a lot darker in some of those pictures than it really is. The other cool thing is that it's attached to a shopping centre/cinema so a couple of floors down you have vending machines, and a bunch of food places that are open until about 10.

The only bad thing is the pillars but only Jack found those a problem.

Just coke and derivatives in the vending machines.

On my ride to work today I had dreams of hiring a van and nicking loads of those barrier things they used to mark out the courts for the Euros. I don't know where we'd keep them, how we'd get them there every time we wanted to play but it was a nice thought for 10 seconds or so.

Ahh!

Did you shout "Do a Skid" right at the top of Munster road from a van?
I thought you were just some white van man wanker having a larf! ;p

Carpark looks superb.

My bottom is still not very happy. Have had to resort to *gasp* public transport *gasp* today in a bid to let it recover before tomorrow's bridges ride.

Hopefully see some of you there and I'll deffo be at polo on Monday :)

Take it easy, chaps.

Put them on the top floor in one of those cages they've got fortrollies, I betthey never get used up there... there must be some space we can hide stuff in... at the very least we should get 4 cones up there at some point?

Haha. Brilliant night. Great court for polo and great nutmegging by Radius (even if you couldn't get the ball afterwards ;).

Can't wait to go back there, Monday anyone?

Pip, glad the move webt wel and that it's all done. Did Fids bring the piping with him, as I was thinking about coming over Monday/Tuesday to cut it all up and take it away if thats the case!?

I think it should be standard to go there when it gets dark, at least on monday (thursdays some go off to drinks so harder to keep the momentum...)

Anytime I'm playing I'll be expecting to head over there and disappointed if we don't!

Dante, the search isn't over, if a lit court or another car park that people would rather go to is found, I'm sure we'll happily go there!

You wait till you experience a packed carpark at midnight... it was pretty good when there were only four of us playing... nice to finally have a welo that doesn't end when it gets dark.

Speaking of which, there's still the Portobello Court to be tried out if peeps fancy a mission a bit north, its floodlit and everything (i can provide a broom)

I bought an 18t freewheel last night so I'm going to lose he front brake and put a rear one on, the gearing + ability to freewheel should make the ride a little easier. Hopefully the dropouts will be long enough to accommodate an 18t freewheel and 22t sprocket.

On the plus side, it's only really 2 miles from where we were playing before and it's a state-of-the-art. all-weather, 24hr facility. Once you're in the car park you won't even know you're in Wandsworth. In fact you won't ever want to leave.

Quick heads up on the Hurlingham court - Having a quick knockaround this morning when the Parks constabulary came and had a chat with us, apparently some NIMBY had phoned to complain - the Parks Plod we cool with and let us carry on and found it amusing that someone had bothered to complain.

It's a great venue and worth just chatting with people and being friendly - ambassadors for the sport and all that…
