  • I bet you never thought you'd be so excited by a car park did you?

  • actually ive spent a rather alarming amount of time hanging out in car parks for various reasons....one involved a photography project....the other involved alot of booze and substances....

  • GET IN! that car park looks amazing! Roll on Monday and all winter :)

    I didn't finish moving fiddys house till gone midnight.. one long mother fucking day!

    I got back towards wandsworth and Spotted Tanya head down Lillie road. by then i was fit to drop.

    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.

  • Where did you look and when?

    hurlingham. Obviously incorrect.
    Aboutsix

  • Nah we were at Hurlingham! We started there then it got dark and we went to the car park..

  • Balls. I should have called someone

  • The only bad thing is my bike but only Jack found it a problem.

    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.
    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?

    Mapleton Crescent - Wandsworth

    So actually a bit south... so not so bad for south people... pretty much diametrically opposite from NE though!

    I bet you never thought you'd be so excited by a car park did you?

    There's this car park by canal streeet in manchester...

    Have I mentioned before how awesome this car park is? it's awesome.

  • 'DO YOU KNOW WHAT I'M FUCKING RIDING!'

    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!?

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

  • i stuck 30 foot of piping to Waynes,
    He is going to chop it up for us. speaking of which i need to change my mallet head - it is hanging by a thread - can anyone with a drill help me out before monday???

    Tanya - that was me - white van, roll up and YORKIE bar.. i was a man for a day :)

    @J - man what a day! we got it all done so this weekend we are settling fiddy in, showing him the pubs, bike shops and newsagents for smokes ;)

  • nice one guys, that place looks great

  • There are more polls now for what happens in the league, if anyone is planning on playing in the league then get involved and vote.

  • it's not really West London Polo anymore though is it? More like SoWeLo Polo

  • 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.

  • Looks like I'll be riding even further for polo now, I'm going to have to find recruit some Uxbridge kids for polo so I've got some riding buddies.

  • hehehe, I was gonna have a mini whinge about distance, but you've trumped me big time on that one Ed! Ladbroke Grove don't seem so far when you come from Uxbridge.

    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.

  • in fact you won't be able to leave

  • Once you're in the car park you won't even know you're in Wandsworth.

    lies.

  • Not sure if anyone is interested but grass polo appears to be happening in Bishops Park (off Fulham Palace Road) every wednesday from 6.30.

    Might pop along this week and have a looksie....

  • don't bother if you're left handed...

  • don't bother if you're left handed...

    I am....but I play right handed ;p

  • 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…
