We could have done without the spin Labour
L
ABOUR PROMISED to “deliver a quality kitchen and bathroom for every council tenant” if they won the 2014 local elections – a year on we now find that only 65 per cent are in fact eligible for a brand new suite.
This was one of a number grandiose offers made to the electorate that all appeared too good to be true. When a promise of this nature is made it’s always important to read the small print - however when it comes to political parties making grand manifesto pledges at election time there is rarely much if any small print. Riding high on their 2010 election victory where they swept the Liberal Democrats aside in Southwark with an extremely popular ‘free meals for all primary school children’ the Labour group decided to step up their freebies. In their leaflets, as well as promises to “deliver a quality kitchen and bathroom for every council tenant” they also announced that “swimming and gym use will be free for all residents in Southwark in council leisure centres.” Earlier this year the News broke the story that from next year a pilot will run restricting free access to Fridays and weekend afternoons as the costs and practicalities of implementing such a universal scheme is unlikely to add up. Alongside these two populist pledges Labour’s flagship promise was to build 11,000 council homes in the next 30 years. The party certainly appeared in tune with the needs of local people as they increased their already health majority of 35 seats to 48 seats out of 63. They had hit the nail on the head by seeing there was an urgent need for council homes - and decent homes at that - plus a plan to tackle increasing levels of obesity. Yet, did they have to put such a spin on their strategy to tackle Southwark’s many ills by suggesting that it would all be free? The language Labour used when describing all of the pledge was emphatic and appeared universal - months down the line as council officers try to implement them they are of course not. In terms of kitchens and bathrooms they cannot, with massive cuts from central government, install them in all the 37,000 council homes in the borough. Labour are of course quick to emphasis the word “quality” used in their pledge, saying it means replacing any that fall below the government’s decent homes standards. And they have lowered the benchmarks from 30-year-old to 20-year-old for kitchens and 40-year-old to 30year-old bathrooms. Supplying potentially 24,000 council tenants with new kitchens and bathrooms is not to be sniffed at. Nor indeed is the chance to give those with the lowest income and the most need access to free gym and swimming membership. The nigh impossible task of building so many new council homes in the face of Government policies like Right-to-Buy and in a borough with a shortage of available land must be commended. But the electorate should be given the details around these promises from the outset, otherwise winning policies like these are always going to be branded as just more spin. It would have been better to paint a more realistic picture by saying ‘we aim to get new bathrooms and kitchens to this amount of people; that we aim to give free gym and swimming to people in most need and that we can build this amount of council homes but so many will be lost because of government polices we have no control over.’

Memorial rededicated to brave Bermondsey men
‘WE WILL REMEMBER THEM’ By Joey Millar
joey@southwarknews.co.uk
THE SOUND of trumpets blaring and boots stamping filled the air last weekend as a war memorial to 920 fallen Bermondsey men was officially rededicated.
A brass band played military tunes while Army Reserve soldiers, cadets and re-enactors marched in formation at the ceremony in Old Jamaica Road on Saturday morning. A crowd of around 150 people, including veterans of later conflicts, attended the service. The memorial, which pays tribute to the 22nd battalion of the Queen’s Regiment, had been taken away for safe keeping while the old military training centre at 2 Old Jamaica Road was
demolished. The Grade II-listed memorial, which was built in 1921 thanks to donations from Bermondsey people, has now been reinstalled on the front of a new block of flats. The site’s military history began in 1883, when a unit began using a nearby drill hall for exercises. In 1915, the recently-established 22nd battalion set off to take part in the Great War, which saw hundreds of Bermondsey men fighting valiantly on the Western Front and in the Salonika Campaign in the Balkans. By the end of the war, 970 Bermondsey men fighting in the regiment had died, their names forever inscribed on the memorial. On Saturday, remembrance wreaths were placed at the bottom of the memorial by Bermondsey and Old
Southwark MP Neil Coyle and Mayor of Southwark Dora Dixon-Fyle, following a two minute period of silence and reflection. Cllr Dixon-Fyle told the audience: “My hope and my wish is that the rededication will remind all who pass this way, and all who call this building home, that others also walked this way before serving the country with honour and dedication. As long as we shall live, we will remember them.” The Kohima Epitaph was also recited by the Old Comrades Association chairman Major Maurice Nason, who said: “When you go home, tell them of us and say, for your tomorrow, we gave our today.” The ceremony ended with a blessing of the memorial by the Bishop of Southwark and a rendition of the national anthem.

EXCLUSIVE
By Amelia Burr

THE GRIEF-stricken mother of a murdered teenager has told the News she wants to look in to the eyes of her son’s killer and ask them how it feels to have taken the life of her “good boy.”
Mohamed Dura-Ray was ambushed by a large group last Monday night and died of multiple stab wounds shortly before 11pm in Canterbury Place on the Newington Estate. Seven men, between the ages of sixteen and 54, were arrested after the attack but they were all bailed as the police met a wall of silence in response to their enquiries. Speaking to the News, Mo’s mother, Mariama Kamara (aka Baby Leigh) pleaded with her son’s friends to come forward with information to help find the perpetrator. “I just want to see the one that killed my son, look him in the eye and say ‘you put pain in my heart – I’ll never see my boy again’. I want to ask them ‘How do you feel about taking somebody’s life?’ I want to bring his killer to justice,” said the mother-ofthree who lives in Kinglake Street in Walworth. “If you were a friend of my son you have to come out and say something – tomorrow it’s you too,” she added. Mariama also appealed to the parents who may be protecting their children to turn them in. “Let them see the truth and bring their children to justice. The children who killed my son could kill someone
else,” she said. Left completely “heartbroken” by the loss of her sixteen-year-old son, known for his caring nature and beaming smile, Mariama said she cannot understand why Mo was targeted. “He was a peacemaker when anyone had problems. He was caring, a good boy,” she said with tears in her eyes. Members of Mo’s family agree that the dutiful boy who helped his mother shop and clean and looked after his younger sister, was never involved in any violence. “The way I brought up my children, they are not that way,” said Mariama, who showed the News a letter of condolence from Surrey Square Primary School where Mo was a pupil and continued to visit as he got older to help younger children. The family has set up ‘Mo’s Foundation’ to help tackle knife crime from within the community and is planning a series of events to raise awareness and raise funds. In the meantime, Mariama said she thinks the police should be allowed to increase the number of stop and searches they carry out. “Let them stop and search all of them, black or white, from eight years old,” she said, adding that she also believes the punishment for carrying a knife should be greater. Detective Chief Inspector Graeme Gwyn is leading the investigation into the murder of the “smart” Globe Academy student, who dreamed of being a footballer but planned to be a solicitor. On Monday night, his officers returned to the scene and conducted

Grief-stricken mother of 16-year-old Mo pleads for witnesses to come forward
more house-to house enquiries. “There may be people within this community who have information about this incident but have yet to speak to police. I would encourage these people to contact police and provide us with that information,” he said. “All information provided to my officers is also treated in the strictest confidence. Please help us to bring Mohamed's murderers to justice and reduce the potential for violent crime in your area,” added DCI Gwyn, who also advised anyone with information that they can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers completely anonymously on 0800 555 111 as Mohamed Dura-Ray pictured with his characteristic beaming smile callers are not even asked for their on a school trip (main), mourners on a memorial march after Mo’s murder last week (above); and a flyer for Mo’s fundraiser (top) name.
The Mo Foundation will say ‘drop the knives, save lives’
MOHAMED DURA-RAY’S devastated family and friends have set up the Mo Foundation to tackle the roots of knife crime in their community.
Michael Mansaray, 16, has organised a fundraising event to be held on what would have been his friend Mo’s seventeenth birthday to tell as many young people as possible –”Think before you act.” “This is the fifth friend I’ve lost from this lifestyle. If we can get as many people there on that day as possible we can get the message out,” he said.
Michael has had T-shirts made up to sell at the event, which have a picture of Mo on the front and the slogan, ‘Drop the knives, save lives’ on the back. Tickets for the comedy and live music show at Inspire the Crypt in Liverpool Grove will be sold at £10 each (£5 concessions) and all monies raised will go towards Mo’s funeral costs. A second event on October 3 in Surrey Square Park will endeavour to “discourage young people in the community from carrying on with this undesirable behaviour.”
KITCHEN SINK DRAMA OVER ‘MISLEADING’ ELECTION PLEDGE
Southwark News, Thursday September 24, 2015
Promise to ‘deliver quality kitchen and bathroom to every tenant’ only applies if rooms more than 20-30 years old EXCLUSIVE
By Amelia Burr
amelia@southwarknews.co.uk
THOUSANDS OF council tenants will not be getting a new kitchen and bathroom as an ambiguous election pledge has gone down the plughole.
In the run up to the local elections last year, Southwark Labour made a pledge to “deliver a quality kitchen and bathroom for every council tenant” - understood by many to mean that all 37,000 council properties in the borough would get shiny new suites. A year and a half later and some estates have begun to ask when the work will be carried out in their properties. The News has discovered this week that around 13,000 homes will in fact not receive a new bathroom or kitchen at all. Southwark Council says delivering a “quality” kitchen or bathroom means replacing any that fall below the government’s decent homes standards. This benchmark requires any kitchens which are more than 30-years-old or bathrooms more than 40-years-old to be replaced. The council has reduced this age limit to 20-year-old kitchens and 30-yearold bathrooms. In February the council’s cabinet agreed a six year programme to replace those older kitchens and bathrooms in the borough by March 2021.
The council estimates that a total of 17,500 kitchens and 21,400 bathrooms will be replaced, with around 13,000 properties going untouched. Opposition Lib Dem councillor for Housing, Ben Johnson, said the council had “misled tenants.” “Any resident who read Labour’s election leaflets will have believed that all council tenants were getting a new kitchen and bathroom. Now we see the council trying desperately to wriggle off the hook with its doublespeak and new criteria,” said the Liberal Democrat. “This promise was obviously not worth the paper it was written on. Thirteen thousand Southwark residents is a lot of people to let down.” Cabinet member for housing Richard Livingstone said he was committed to providing the best quality council homes and improving housing standards in Southwark. “That is why we have introduced this guarantee of a quality kitchen and bathroom for all council tenants. I’m delighted that the replacement programme has now begun a year ahead of schedule, which will ensure tenants don’t face two rounds of disruption in their homes while we complete our Warm, Dry and Safe improvements over the coming year.” All properties will be surveyed before works begin to confirm if they require a replacement, even if their facilities have not reached the age barrier. So far 112 new kitchens and 92 new bathrooms have been delivered. Labour’s manifesto from the 2014 local elections, which pledged to ‘deliver a quality kitchen and bathroom for every council tenant’

The fire that ripped through Lakanal House
Flats where six people died in horrific fire six years ago set to be re-opened in September after £9.5m works
By Amelia Burr
amelia@southwarknews.co.uk
WORK HAS begun on refurbishing the Camberwell tower block, Lakanal House, where six people died in a fire in 2009.
The 50-year-old building, in the Sceaux Gardens estate, has stood empty and boarded up since the blaze tore through it with a suddenness and ferocity that baffled firefighters that hot July day, killing six people. Following an inquest into how the six died and consultation with residents, the council has begun work to bring the 98 flats back into use in September next year. The devastating fire was caused by an electrical fault in a television on the ninth floor. Six people remained in their flats one level above and were dead within 90 minutes. They were Dayana Francisquini, 26, and her daughter Thais, six, and son Felipe, three; Helen Udoaka, 34, and her 20-dayold daughter Michelle; and 31-yearold Catherine Hickman. Those who died could all have probably saved themselves but were either advised to remain in their flats
or did not seem to know about escape routes along communal balconies. At the inquest, the coroner heard that Southwark Council, which owned the block, failed to carry out a proper fire inspection over three years after it became its legal responsibility. Southwark has since spent more than £36million making all of their high-rise blocks fire safe and will spend an additional £9.5million on the Lakanal House refurbishment. “This can never happen again, I’m absolutely certain of that,” said Cllr Richard Livingstone, Southwark’s cabinet member for housing. “We are doing all we can to ensure that. “We can’t stop the fires from happening, but the measures we have here will ensure people can escape quickly.” Former tenants will be invited to return to live in Lakanal House, but uptake is expected to be low as many were resettled in the new Bermondsey Spa development. Seven flats on the top floor of Lakanal will be sold to fund the work, including a new five storey building opposite and a community space in the under-croft. Half of the council flats in the block will be offered to people on the
Sceaux Gardens estate and the surrounding area who are currently living in overcrowded accommodation. Sceaux Gardens Tenants’ and Residents’ Association chair, John McGrath, said tenants were looking forward to the empty block being full of families again. “There’s 98 families begging to get in here and we want them here for a good community,” he said. There is currently a small memorial

garden dedicated to the Lakanal fire victims in front of the block and John is one of a number of residents who feel this is sufficient, rather than erecting a statue or sculpture. “It should be something small, you don’t want it rubbed in your face,” he said, adding that the jury was also still
out on whether the block should be renamed after refurbishment. “Most say it shouldn’t change because it’s Lakanal. I’ve been here 30 years and it’s always been Lakanal,” said John, who admits he was taken by the suggestion of the ‘Cantona’ block.

TRIBUTES HAVE poured in for two Pearly Queens who died in a traffic collision last weekend.
Meet Eddie
Joyce Carr MBE, the Pearly Queen of Southwark, and Peggy Oliver, the Pearly Queen of Redbridge, both died following a collision in Cambridgeshire on Saturday. The two women, who were sisters-inlaw, had been on their way to visit a sick relative when their car collided with another. Both cars spun off the road and ended up in a field, where Joyce, 75, and Peggy, 83, were declared dead. The pair had “spent their lives with their families raising funds and promoting various charities,” according to a spokesperson for the original Pearly Kings & Queens Association. They added: “This is a very sad time for our Association Members, who all knew and worked with them, so we share their loss and send our condolences to the two families.” Jimmy Jukes, the Pearly King of Camberwell and Bermondsey, also added his condolences. The founder of charity Homes 4 Heroes UK said: “I’ve known Peggy for years, she was a good girl. I didn’t really know Joyce, although I had met her at a few events.

Proposed court closure ‘potentially disastrous’ By Joey Millar

The closures will force residents fighting against eviction to travel even further from their homes in the borough, something that Southwark Council Leader Peter John worries will put them at an “automatic disadvantage.” He told the News: “I think it’s a potentially disastrous move for the borough’s most vulnerable residents. Some of these people lead disorganised lives. If this closure means that residents need to get to East Putney or to the Royal Courts of justice, I’m concerned
they won’t get there. “You’re going to put at an automatic disadvantage some of the most vulnerable residents in the borough.” He pledged to fight to make it as easy as possible for residents to get to court to work out their housing situation and promised to put “the strongest representation” to the Ministry of Justice against the closures going ahead. Under the new changes, residents travelling from Peckham will find their journey time increased from just 39 minutes to Lambeth County Court to 1 hour 45 minutes to Wandsworth County Court. Journey times from Bermondsey and Rotherhithe are similarly extended. Angus King, a solicitor with the Cambridge House Law Centre, said: “The closure of Lambeth County Court will lead to an increase in evictions and homelessness, putting an even greater
strain on already stretched resources.” The government’s courts and tribunal service, however, argue that the threatened facilities are chronically under-used, on average lying empty two thirds of the time. Courts and Tribunals Minister, Shailesh Vara, also added that courts would be required less and less as technology improved and the justice system became more streamlined. She said: “Access to justice is not just about attending court. As we bring in digital technology for better and more efficient access to justice, fewer people will need to physically be in a court. “This means that we will need fewer buildings, and with many already underused and in poor quality, now is a good time to review the estate.” Consultation on the proposed closures will take place until October 8.

The driver and passenger in the other car received minor injuries. Police are now appealing for information about the cause of the deadly crash. Sergeant Simon Goldsmith from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Road Policing Unit, said: “The driver of the Qashqai recalls seeing a car pass them at the time of the collision, so I am appealing to whoever was in that car to get in touch with us urgently.” Anyone who witnessed the collision or either of the vehicles in the moments leading up to it should anonymously call the road policing unit on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or report via their website www.crimestoppers-uk.org.

Branch crashes down onto van By Joey Millar
joey@southwarknews.co.uk
RUSH HOUR motorists couldn’t beleaf their eyes on Monday when a huge branch crashed down onto a van, bringing traffic to a standstill.
Luckily no-one was injured in the freaky foliage accident, which left leaves and bark scattered across the road. A police spokesperson said that the van’s driver was unhurt in the “damage only” incident, which occurred at around 5pm. Long Lane was temporarily blocked in both directions near the junction with Crosby Row before the branch and van were cleared.

Hughes kicks off post parliament life with job on football board SIMON HUGHES has kicked off his first new role since losing his parliamentary seat last May – as a director of the London Football Association.
The former Bermondsey and Old Southwark MP attended his first meeting with the London FA’s board of directors last week. Mr Hughes, who is a Millwall fan, described his appointment as a “privilege” and vowed to support local, grassroots football for the city’s players. He said: “I am determined to do all I can to make sure that local, London, and central government do not price children, young people, women and men out of amateur football. This will certainly be one of the issues I want to put on the agenda for the forthcoming London Mayoral and Assembly elections. “We will never have the home-grown talent in the numbers we want at the highest level in football if we don't encourage and make it easier for people to play football regularly from the time they start nursery and school.” Mr Hughes was endorsed by Lions manager Neil Harris before the general election, who described him as “a great friend and supporter” of the club. Danny Maguire, captain of Fisher FC, also praised him as being “instrumental” in the campaign to bring the club home to the north of the borough.
Funds raised for Evelina in recycling Wonder Day Not too late to sponsor News MD for London to Paris bike ride!
OVER 600 people took part in a recycling ‘Wonder Day’ last weekend, raising hundreds of pounds for Evelina London Children’s Hospital, writes Joey Millar...
The fundraising event was held at recycling giant Veolia’s Southwark plant, with visitors donating £252.52 for the charity. The day featured interactive exhibits to teach children about materials
and recyclables, as well as wild bird displays, a bouncy castle and face painting. The ‘junk orchestra’, which featured musical instruments made out of bits of recycled rubbish, proved especially popular amongst younger visitors, as did a robot made from recycling bins. There was even the chance to win a trip for two to Paris. All money raised on the day went towards the News’ Evelina appeal, which is currently just over £7,000 short of its £100,000 target. This Saturday, News MD Chris Mullany will attempt the second part of his latest fundraiser, cycling 180 miles from London to Paris in under 24 hours. Three weeks ago he successfully reached the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. To
sponsor him, please visit:
http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/team /Evelina_2013.
Alternatively, you can sponsor the other riders, who are Camberwell resident Lionel Healing, raising money for Save The Children: www.justgiving.com/lionel-healing/ and Raj Banerjee, raising money for the Trinity Hospice in Clapham: w w w. j u s t g i v i n g . c o m / R a j Banerjee?utm_id=26

Residents left without gas after pipe damaged By Joey Millar
joey@southwarknews.co.uk
HUNDREDS OF Peckham residents were left without gas last week after a council contractor damaged a pipe with a digger – with many still having to live without gas.
Some residents at Gloucester Grove Estate have been unable to use gas appliances since Friday afternoon, when the mains were cracked while a heating system was being fixed. Roughly 100 properties were originally affected, with gas so far restored to 47 homes. Alternate cooking and heating sources have been offered to homes still without gas and the council is “looking at” offering compensation.
NEWS 11
Cllr Richard Livingstone, Southwark cabinet member for housing, apologised on behalf of the council and re-assured residents that work was being done to fix the problem. He said: “We are working hard with SGN and our contractors to restore supplies as soon as possible, although due to the nature of the problem we aren’t able to give exact dates for this just yet. “I appreciate this must be frustrating for residents but we are keeping everyone updated as much as possible. “I would like to reassure residents that full safety checks have been made and thank everyone for their patience during the repair work.” If anyone has any concerns please contact Southwark Council housing department on 0800 952 4444.

Witnesses are heard in the background trying to calm the man, with one saying: “Hey, hey, guys, guys!” The video then shows the man, identified by police as a passenger in the white car, grabbing the warden’s “mobile data terminal” and kicking it across the road, damaging the screen. The warden did not require medical attention. The suspect is described as a tall black man, wearing a white t-shirt. Anyone who can identify the man shown in the CCTV footage or who has information relating to the incident is asked to contact police on 101 quoting reference 185776 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

PECKHAM
‘IT’S TIME WE TOOK BACK THE PARK’ Council vows action after parents and schools say children too scared to go to playground
By Amelia Burr
amelia@southwarknews.co.uk
THE COUNCIL has swung into action after 120 people piled into a crime-ridden park to campaign for it to be made safer.
Primary school children told their teachers that they had found weapons in Kelly Avenue Park in Peckham and reported hearing of other young people being shot and killed for their bikes, friends being encouraged to join gangs, bullying and one sexual assault.
After a crowd of children, parents, school teachers and church leaders descended on what is formally known as Central Venture Park, Southwark Council has committed to making the space feel safer for everyone. “I want to make sure everyone who uses it feels safe,” said Cllr Barrie Hargrove, Southwark’s cabinet member for parks and leisure and a Peckham ward councillor. Cllr Hargrove told the News he intended to push for funds to be allocated to keeping the space clean and safe after he was invited to meet the
campaigners earlier this month. “It’s tremendous,” he said of the efforts of Peckham Citizens, a local group set up to help residents make the changes they want to see in their area themselves. “I can’t wave a magic wand and make money right now,” said Cllr Hargrove. “We’re looking very carefully at every penny we spend and have to think very carefully before we commit to anything, but that park is a priority for me and as a ward councillor I will be making the case for investment.”
Head teachers from nearby schools Oliver Goldsmith and St James the Great got behind the campaign after their pupils said they were too afraid to go to the park. “It is our children's right to have a safe park to play in and as a school we would like to work with others in our local community to make sure that happens,” said Anita Asumadu, Head teacher at Oliver Goldsmith Primary School. Denis O’Regan, Head teacher at St James the Great Primary School, agreed and said the adults had decided
to take the park back for the children. “As adults - parents, teachers and the local community - we have decided that we must have the courage to do what is necessary to keep them safe. It's time we took back Kelly Avenue Park and made sure it is a clean and safe place for all children in Peckham to play,” he said. The campaigners, led by Peckham Citizens, will meet with Cllr Hargrove again in a month to discuss the possibility of establishing a Friends of Kelly Park group.

The Old Bailey also heard that Ben Purdy’s family ‘did not want girlfriend at funeral’ By court reporter
news@southwarknews.co.uk
BEN PURDY’S girlfriend taunted her former lover’s sister over her miscarriage, the Old Bailey heard on Tuesday.
The 18-year-old trainee plumber was shot in the head as violence erupted between him and 22-year-old Michael Bagnall, his girlfriend’s ex, it has been claimed. The teenager was killed after Bagnall allegedly recruited his uncle, Andrew Bayne, 37, his cousin Reece Bayne, 19, and a 17-year-old, who cannot be named, to track down Ben and his friends on the streets of south London.
The shooting allegedly took place after an earlier confrontation between Ben and Bagnall in Alpine Road, Bermondsey, involving friends and family of both men brandishing knives, heavy chains and metal poles. Callum Malone, a friend of Purdy’s who was allegedly threatened with a gun during the incident, told the court that he was aware the Purdy family made it clear they did not want the girlfriend ‘Ashley’ to attend the funeral. During cross examination, Michael Magarian QC, representing Michael Bagnall, put it to Mr Malone that Ashley had been deliberately antagonising Ben by staying in contact with her former lover and
talking to him on the phone in Ben’s presence. Mr Malone said: “I didn't know that they [Bagnall and Ashley] were still in contact. “I can’t say if she was winding up Ben because I didn't know, at times when he was on the phone to her that day he did seem to be more argumentative. “I did hear that she had not attended the funeral and that had been because the family didn't want her there.” Mr Magarian said to Mr Malone: “Ashley used to taunt my client’s sister Lee-Ann Bagnall via Facebook about losing her child to a miscarriage, which is where part of this ill feeling comes from, isn’t it?”
Mr Malone denied any knowledge of the taunts. He also denied taking weapons with him to Bagnall’s house earlier that day. He told the court he had a heavy duty extendable torch and a bike chain on him because he sometimes went fishing and was due to collect a bicycle from his sister's house later that day. He said: “I didn't see them as weapons, I mentioned them to the police when I was being questioned because I thought they might see them as things which could be used as weapons. “I didn't have an intention to use the torch as a weapon, only to intimidate somebody if they came at me with a

Mark Williams, Southwark’s cabinet member for regeneration, told the News the opening had been delayed but could not say why for legal reasons and could not provide a new opening date at this stage. “While other councils are considering
closing them down, we are using development in the borough to fund new first-class leisure centres for our residents. “We are very much looking forward to opening the brand new Castle leisure centre in the near future and we are working with the contractors to ensure it is handed over as soon as possible. “We will be providing a top quality facility, even if we have to wait a little longer than anticipated,” said Cllr Williams.

SOUTHWARK COUNCIL has decided to “look again” at possible sites for the new Rotherhithe leisure centre, after angry residents protested against the controversial “green haven” frontrunner.
The council had been leaning towards building on a green patch of land on the western edge of Surrey Quays Shopping Centre’s car park, to the dismay of ecological activists and local residents. However, following a meeting of the council’s Overview and Scrutiny Committee (OSC) earlier this month, Councillor Mark Williams has frozen the decision-making process until mid-October. This will allow the Southwark Cabinet Member for Regeneration and New Homes to re-assess the pros and cons of a number of different potential sites. In a letter sent to OSC chair Cllr Gavin Edwards, Cllr Williams said: “I set out the reasons which led to us choosing this as our preferred site for the new centre at the meeting. Crucially it is the site which gives us both a great leisure centre and the scope for the greatest number of council homes. “However it was clear at the OSC meeting that members and some local residents have concerns about the council’s proposed preferred location of the new centre.” Catherine Whitaker, a spokesperson for the Canada Water West Residents’ Action Group, said: “We welcome this move and will engage constructively in the hope we can secure a rethink.”

Council ‘put ting more and more people into smaller area’ say estate residents By Amelia Burr
amelia@southwarknews.co.uk
ANGRY RESIDENTS told Southwark Council they should build new homes in spacious Dulwich instead of blocking in their car park with high rise housing at a protest last week.
Since the Heygate came down and taller blocks started popping up all around the Elephant, Salisbury Estate residents in Walworth say they already feel surrounded. But now Southwark Council is
proposing to build another block right on the estate’s car park as part of their ‘hidden homes’ programme – where some of the authority’s proposed 11,000 new council properties will be built on ‘unused’ pockets of existing estates. “We don’t want to give up any of the car park because it’s so condensed around here already – it’s just putting more and more people into a smaller area,” said Salisbury Tenants’ and Residents’ Association chair, Maria O’Keeffe. “I’m sure there’s plenty of space in
Dulwich but because that’s the posh area they don’t take their spaces,” she added. Maria and a band of bemused residents took placards down to Southwark Council HQ on Wednesday saying ‘save our car park’ and ‘no more high rises’ before they gave a deputation at a council meeting. “Years ago they tried to build on the car park and we put them off then,” said Maria. “At least we made a demonstration. You’ve got to go down fighting because they’ll just
walk all over you otherwise.” Cllr Mark Williams, Southwark’s cabinet member for regeneration and new homes, said: “In Southwark we are tackling the housing crisis head on and have an ambitious programme to build 11,000 new council homes. “I understand the concerns of the Salisbury Estate residents about the loss of car parking, and we will work with them at every step of the design process to try and find a solution. I will visit the estate with the residents to see what steps we can take.”

Fly-tipping fear as Great grandad to get head shaved council reveals bulk to raise cash for cancer charity waste charge plan By Joey Millar

SOUTHWARK COUNCIL has announced plans to begin charging to remove bulky rubbish from homes - a decision that has sparked fears of a rise of fly-tipping in the borough.
A new £16 fee is set to be introduced from October 1, replacing the previous collection service which was free for up to fifteen large bags. The decision has been criticised by Southwark Lib Debs, whose leader Cllr Anood Al-Samerai claimed the policy was “completely wrong.” She said: “Introducing charges for bulk waste will lead to increased fly-tipping and it is the poorest residents who will suffer. Liberal Democrats are fighting the corner of residents by arguing that collecting waste for free saves money in the long run with lower street cleaning costs.” The Lib Dems ‘called-in’ the decision to the council’s Overview and Scrutiny
Committee last week, where members recommended assessing the policy’s impact on fly-tipping and looking at reduced costs for low-income earners. Cllr Darren Merrill, Cabinet Member for Environment and the Public Realm, said research showed adding charges had “little impact” on fly-tipping. He said: “Up until now, we’ve been one of the only London boroughs offering free bulky waste collections. While we would love to continue this provision, budget restraints mean we have to prioritise essential services. The new £16 fee (for up to ten items) is in line with other authorities but almost all have a lower cap on the number of items collected. “Our research found that charges for bulky waste collections had little impact on fly-tipping rates. “We spoke with other councils who had introduced charges and they didn’t experience an increase in fly-tipping. In one case, where a council introduced free bulky waste collection, it did not lead to a reduction in fly-tipping.”

A GREAT-grandfather’s luscious locks will be hair today, gone tomorrow, when he shaves his head as a fundraising stunt for Macmillan Cancer Support.
Hirsute singer Roger Conetta, who has lived in Bermondsey for ten years, is sacrificing his pride and joy in aid of an “honest and true charity.” The follicly-blessed 69-year-old said: “I’m arthritic now but if I could do anything else to raise money I would do it in a heartbeat. If I came into any money I would support every charity, but this is my way to help now. “My family think it’s hilarious and can’t wait to see me. It’s the first time in my life that I’ll have my head shaved. I’m trying not to think about it! It’s for such a good cause though, these people really need to be respected.” Roger, an ex-gardener and part-time crooner, lost his brother to the disease nine years ago. The tragic loss spurred him to help others who are fighting their own battles. He said: “I didn’t know until ten days before he died that he
had cancer. He didn’t want anyone to know, didn’t want anyone to worry.” Roger will go under the razor on Friday at 12pm in Gentleman’s Barber, Old Kent Road. Afterwards, he is inviting everyone back to a “little party” in Harman Close’s community room in Avondale Square estate, where he hopes everyone will give generously. Roger before the cut
He said: “That is what I like about the people here, they really look after each other. I really believe in the spirit here, in the people. If anyone ever needs help, there is someone to turn to. “This is for such a good cause. You see these adverts on TV and you feel for these people, especially the little kids. I can’t stand to watch people suffer.” Watch Roger lose his locks at Gentleman’s Barber, 232 Old Kent Road, SE1 5UB on Friday September 25.

Bid for seats in my Millwall box to raise vital cash for soldiers’ fund
Southwark News, Thursday September 24, 2015 By Michael Holland
news@southwarknews.co.uk
LIFELONG MILLWALL fan Mick Cooper will be giving up four seats in his Millwall box to the highest bidder for many of the home games this season, in order to raise funds for a charity set up to support soldiers and their families.
The Princess of Wales’s Royal Regiment has been home to several Southwark men, most notably Johnson Beharry VC who earned his bravery award in Iraq, and young Millwall fan Lee O’Callaghan, who sadly lost his life there. A street on the new Heygate Estate has been named after Lee. Mick, whose south London roots are spread across Peckham, Deptford, New Cross and Sidcup, heard about PWRR’s Ride to Recovery Challenge on a post put up on the Millwall fan website, House Of Fun, by Peckham resident Mark Brady. The fundraising bike ride will see a team of both serving and former PWRR soldiers who have experienced life-changing events in battle cycle across America. All the proceeds go to The Friends of the PWRR, a group set up to provide on-going support for the regiment’s soldiers and their families. “I just thought it sounded like a great cause,” Mick told the News. “My dad served in Malaya in the ‘50s and there is a lad in our box at Millwall who is ex Royal Engineers and served in Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan and Iraq So this just felt like a natural thing to get involved with.” Mick contacted Brian Wood MC, one of the cyclists and Head of Fundraising for the

The celebration, which only went ahead after Rotherhithe’s Simplicity restaurant chef Laurence Lingard stepped in with essential funding, was arguably the biggest in its nineyear run, with thousands of people taking part in the fun. There was live music, local and exotic cuisine, crafts stands, brewery tents and children’s entertainers – as well as the ever-popular dog show, which saw hundreds of people cramming into Leathermarket Gardens to catch a glimpse of the VIP pooches. There was also a surprise ‘flashmob’, which saw 40 members of the Victoria St choir stun festivalgoers with a surprise operatic rendition.

Man fighting for life after shooting CAMBERWELL: A man is
PECKHAM
fighting for his life in hospital after he was shot near King’s College Hospital on Sunday morning.
Police were called to Coldharbour Lane, close to the junction with Kenbury Street on the Lambeth border just after 8am to reports of a shooting where they found the victim, a man believed to be in his twenties. The London Ambulance Service attended and he was rushed to hospital, where he remains in a critical condition. The area was cordoned off while the police searched for the gunman. A man, also in his 20s, was arrested close to the scene on suspicion of possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life and grievous bodily harm. He was taken to a south London police station and has since been bailed to return in early November. A29-year-old man and a woman have also been arrested in connection with the incident and they are currently in police custody.
Mayor ’s £10k pledge f ires up Peckham Coal Line campaign
But only 40 days left to raise remaining £35,000 needed
By Amelia Burr
amelia@southwarknews.co.uk
THERE ARE just forty days and nights left to pledge your support for a new urban park in the sky to run along a disused railway line.
The Mayor of London gave the Peckham Coal Line a boost last week by pledging £10,000 to the grass roots project. But to keep the community-led plans on track, just 40 days remain to raise
£35,000. In November last year the News reported on the fledgling proposals from Peckham architects, Nick Woodford and Clyde Watson, to create a city park inspired by the High Line in New York, which follows an old goods line through lower Manhattan. The Peckham Coal Line would start off over seven metres in the air at the Ricketts sidings by Peckham Rye station, a track which currently runs parallel to the ‘live’ line, and the 900m
promenade would then gradually slope down to ground level to join Kirkwood Nature Reserve and come out behind Queen’s Road station. “What’s great about the mayor’s pledge is not only is the money really helpful, but it gives the whole thing more credibility,” said Nick now, who lives in Grove Lane, Camberwell. While Nick and the team are busy securing funding from local businesses in the area, he told the News it was important to get support from residents

My home a net exporter of green electricity, again
I
T IS an exciting week for me as my new solar electric PV panels get installed.
I will be sad though to see my first solar panels, installed 17 years ago, being removed. They were hit in a freak lightning accident last year. It was the historic first in London to sell metered PV electricity to London Electricity. Now there are more than a million solar homes across Britain, producing carbon free electricity and reducing their bills. This massive growth in solar installations was prompted by the government’s recent Feed-In-Tariff scheme, which pays homeowners a premium for 20 years, for every kilowatt of electricity they produce. Existing installations like mine did not qualify. However, the new panels (installed by ghiuk.co.uk) will qualify and I will make my money back. On my current very modest electricity consumption rates, I hope to produce about five times my annual consumption and so make my home a net exporter of green electricity again. Panels now produce over double the amount of electricity and cost about a fifth of the price since I put mine in. Usual installation costs per home are about £6£8,000. However, the government is proposing to cut the premium paid to new installations by up to 87% at the end of this year. So you need to move urgently to benefit from the Feed in Tariff. If you cannot afford the panels but do own your own home with a south-facing roof, some companies (e.g. markgroup.co.uk) will install them for free. But they will take all of the government’s Feed-In-Tariff payments and you get just the free electricity during the day. Sadly, seventeen years after my Southwark home led the way in London, the council is still being Neanderthal about this amazing technology. Thankfully, the government stopped Southwark blocking planning permission for solar panels in non-conservation areas. However, it shockingly failed to require the huge new Heygate development to include any renewable energy whatsoever. Maybe the new Corbynism might inspire the New Labourites in charge of Southwark to finally catch up with the solar revolution? All new developments should be required to fit solar-panels. Cladding the southfacing walls of the ugly new Aylesbury skyscrapers with solar panels, would be a good place to start!

Council too little to late for Care Homes I THINK Councillor Stephanie Cryan (Lead Councillor for Adult Social Care) must have misread what I was saying following the announcement that a third Southwark elderly care home has been placed under supervision.
The point I was making was that the council has a duty of care to our elderly and pays for their accommodation and nursing care. Yet, within a short space of time three homes in Southwark have been rated as failing by the independent Care Quality Commission (CQC). Residents, their families and councillors will have been flagging up their concerns with the Council but it seems that things are allowed to escalate to the point where the CQC has to intervene before the Council takes the necessary action. While it is right that the council stops placing elderly Southwark residents in these care homes, it shouldn’t have to reach this stage. Southwark Council has taken its eye off the ball and seems to focus only on working with providers to turn care homes round once they have been deemed unsatisfactory. In the meantime others seem to slip through the net too. The council
should act earlier to stop any Southwark care home ever being labelled as poor. It is also unacceptable that in the meantime Southwark’s elderly now have to be placed in care homes outside the borough. This is distressing and disruptive for elderly people and can be inconvenient and expensive for families to travel to. We have a care home crisis in the borough. The council needs to take its duty of care more seriously and intervene earlier when issues are reported about homes in Southwark. That’s what will stop putting our elderly at risk. Shutting the stable door once the horse has bolted is too little, too late. Cllr Maria Linforth-Hall, Opposition Spokesperson for Adult Social Care
Turn Dulwich Hamlet’s ground into housing for refugees? DULWICH Hamlet FC's primary objective seems to have changed from being a football club to being a community conscience, perhaps they should surrender the stadium and land for the greater good.
It could then be redeveloped as housing for the refugees they are so welcoming of to an already overcrowded area of London with limited housing options for its less affluent residents. I'm sure their supporters would welcome such a noble gesture in the face of the property capitalism that is blighting our borough. David Arklane, via email

Cuts to council homes
AM very proud that Southwark has the biggest commitment to building new council homes of any council in the country, a 30 year plan to build 11,000 new council homes.
The plan was developed following an independent Housing Commission which explored the ways in which the council could best improve and maintain current council homes and meet both current and future housing needs. The plan for new council homes took careful account of the need for a long term financial strategy to ensure there are the funds available for day to day repairs, new kitchens and bathrooms for council tenants and longer term major works such as window and roof replacements. This summer the Chancellor announced that the government would cut council rents by 1per cent a year for four years, while refusing to act to control rents in the private rented sector, which are spiralling out of control and making life very difficult for many people. Last week, I voted against the Tories’ plans to cut tax credits which will leave almost 8,000 families in my constituency on average £1,000 worse off from next April. In this context, I support the plans to cushion some of the blow to families in council homes by reducing their rents, but this mustn’t be at the expense of the long term investment in council homes. The effect of the reduction in council rents after four years would mean there would be £65m less to spend on repairs and major works every year. Over the 30 year life of the council’s housing plan this would mean £1.1billion less to invest in council homes. The government should be supporting councils like Southwark who are leading the way in addressing the housing crisis, not making it harder for them to do so. I am pressing the Tory government to ensure that they make up the funding gap that their plans will create, so that Southwark tenants are not hit by yet another Tory cut via the back door.

Thirty years of achievement
AFTER 30 years as Director of the Bermondsey Artists’ Group (BAG), an art movement that he was co-founder of, Ron Henocq has stood down. ‘I’m tired,’ he begins when I ask why he is leaving the group he founded with other artists over pints of beer in The Ship in Rotherhithe. ‘I’m tired of the continual fundraising and meetings with the Arts Council,’ he adds, ‘but I also want to leave now so I can do other things.’, writes Michael Holland...
Among the ‘other things’ out-going Director has planned for his ‘retirement’ is promoting artists through his Fine Arts Gallery, something of an exclusive he told me as we sat in the space that will eventually become the studio and gallery in Webster Road. He emphasised that this will happen ‘periodically, without any pressure, without any funders, Councils, board or trustees, or any of that stuff that I’ve been doing for the past 30 years…Just me doing what I want, when I want.’ Of course there are other more pragmatic reasons: Ron wanted to hand the baton over with another three years funding already in place so incoming Director Judith Carlton would not have

that worry straightaway, and this was achieved, thereby giving Ms Carlton the best possible start. I asked if it had felt like 30 years and was quickly told ‘No’. But he went on to say that that length of time is shown in how the area has changed from when BAG was founded in 1983, followed by Café Gallery in 1984: ‘It’s a completely different world in Bermondsey now.’ 1983 Bermondsey was then a wasteland of lost industry, with derelict warehouses lining the riverfront and no real Docklands Development. There were still bombsites, and houses left empty as former occupants followed the work elsewhere. This diverse group of artists came with a mission statement of Access To Art For All, and one only has to look around to see how the area has changed and just how open the people are now to art. BAG was at the forefront of taking elitism out of art galleries and fulfilling their mission to give access to art to all; it is all around, with murals, mosaics and artworks in numerous public spaces. ‘That era of the late 70s, early 80s,’ he begins after taking a sip of water, ‘will go down as the best time for public funding’. Recalling those early days in the derelict café that the group breathed new life into with the gallery, Ron says that people would stop and just put their head through the door to nervously peer

in, as if they weren’t allowed into ‘hallowed grounds’, but would be enticed in by group members. Nowadays there is a thriving community aspect to the gallery’s work that involves local residents of all ages. Ron Henocq quite rightly feels proud of what has been achieved with the Café Gallery and The Bermondsey Artists’ Group, and his role in those achievements. He feels that getting a brand new, purpose built gallery erected on the site of an old café is out there as a highlight of his tenure, followed by getting the lease on the deconsecrated church in Dilston Grove. ‘Having two venues in one park is brilliant,’ he says with a real sense of accomplishment. As he starts to recall some of the great installations in the Dilston Grove, such as The Bridge where it was flooded with water, I can only agree with him, there have been some momentous works there. Sitting in Ron’s studio surrounded by
artwork that he has built up over the years I asked about his current show, Works On Paper: ‘It’s a retrospective;’ he tells me while looking round at the numerous drawings and prints. ‘More or less a diary of my last 40 years…It’s strange remembering some of the places and people again…’ He pauses in thought. ‘The art in the exhibition have just been bits of paper in drawers and scrapbooks and in folders…’ His words fade to nothing. Returning to our interview, the former director of a successful
organisation that evolved from a small collective says he feels that its future is now secure. He claims that it is extremely cost-effective with the council grant towards it being less than one average council wage. And with a tinge of sadness he also reminds me that with cuts to the arts being what they are today, something like the Café Gallery and The Bermondsey Artists’ Group could not happen from such unlikely beginnings now: ‘The closest thing young artists could manage today would be a weekend pop-up.’ It was of its time and Ron Henocq was there. ‘The whole point of it was to establish something for the park, and we did it.’

history
By 1970, ‘Gandolfi & Sons’ were the last business to still be hand-making wooden cameras. The raw material they used was becoming scarce. Since 1931 Britain had stopped all import of cuban mahogany and by 1973 the Gandolfi’s workshop
company in 1982 to Brian Gould and Sir Kenneth Corfield and Terry Herbert, a pupil of the brothers, continued to make Gandolfi cameras the traditional way. Fred and Arthur were given honorary life membership to The British Institute of Professional Photographers and The Royal Photographic Society in 1985. The South Kensington Science Museum marked a century of Gandolfi work on November 1980, with an
THE PECKHAM BROTHERS WHO CAPTURED OUR PAST
THERE ARE some moments in history that will stay in our collective consciousness for generations because they were captured on film, writes Jennifer Creery...
Images of Captain Scott and his team, who bravely ventured to the South Pole before dying on their return journey, may have been taken on Peckham cameras. In 1910, photographer Herbert Ponting climbed aboard the Terra Nova as he joined the British Antarctic Expedition as its official ‘camera artist’. Ponting was a customer of the Peckham –based Gandolfi Brothers, who handcrafted world-renowned glass plate cameras - all hand polished solid wood with brass fittings. The Gandolfi camera was considered to be among the finest on offer in the late 1800s and early 1900s and is likely to be one of several cameras used by Ponting to capture that extraordinary mission which will live on in our nation’s history. The family business started out in Westminster in 1885, where Louis Gandolfi used his experience as a cabinetmaker to create beautifully crafter wooden cameras. In 1913, he moved his business to Peckham Rye, where he soon established himself as one of the finest camera-makers in South London, before settling in to a factory unit in Borland Road in 1928. Louis and his three sons Tom, Fred and Arthur were commissioned by the Colonial Office, to create a camera that could be used in the humid climates of
Images of Captain Scott and his team, who bravely ventured to the South Pole before dying on their return jorney, may have been taken with a Gandolfi Brothers’ camera India and Burma and the Royal Naval Air Service, ordered the first ever aerial cameras to be used in combat from Louis. It is said that George Herbert, fifth Earl of Carnarvon, used one of the Gandolfi’s earliest cameras in the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1907 and in 1924 Gandolfi cameras were used by Country Life Studios to photograph the interior of Queen Mary’s doll house. Each photo required a special lens and three hours of exposure. Louis handed the business over to his sons in 1938 just as the Second World War was bringing new financial opportunities. The brothers began to
receive contracts from the government, asking to supply 1,000 cameras to the various military departments. With only a handful of staff and a relatively small output, the brothers realised that could not meet the demands of such a large contract. They would not compromise the standard of their cameras even if it meant giving away the contract to a rival business. ‘Watson & Sons’, who employed more workers, took over the contract and the Gandolfis business suffered temporarily as a result.
contained only twenty planks left. The business began to struggle. The waiting list for a Gandolfi ‘Precision’ camera was three years by 1976. The addition of Tom’s son to the team in 1976 improved the rate of production, but the brothers still struggled to keep up with growing demand. As Arthur and Fred reached their eighties, it became apparent that they could not continue the business anymore. They handed over the
exhibition of Gandolfi cameras and pictures. The physical Gandolfi cameras will be around for some time yet as photographic history fanatics collect relics of a bygone era. But long after they are lost, the images captured on them of our global history, will live on. TOP LEFT: Fred Gandolfi staring in a documentary in 1974.

food & drink
How do you take your coffee? With banana or avocado?
HOW DO you take your coffee? Milk? One sugar? How about with a hot avocado? Stop by Beanbag Coffee at One Tower Bridge and you can get your caffeine fix with a Southeast Asian twist, writes Laura Burgoine...
Walworth local Gary Kirby rides his 250 kilogram portable coffee stand to his spot next to the Sainsbury’s on the Berkeley Homes development every morning from Monday to Friday where he takes coffee from Thailand, Laos, India and Vietnam and brews it Thailand street style. Speciality coconut, banana, mango and avocado hot coffees and iced coffees are served in zip-lock bags; the Thai serving style is tweaked to avoid spills because this is London and public transport faux pas are punishable by firing squad. The business model for Beanbag Coffee was inspired by a six month trip to Thailand where Gary went to train in Muay Thai and urban Krav Maga. “I learnt about making coffee and I
spent about two years researching”, he told the News. “Coffee in Thailand is among the most superior in the world. I source coffee ethically from speciality coffee farms and I hand make it; I crush it up inside of a sock, soak it
and it drips through the sock into a cup”, he explains. “For my speciality coffees I blend with fresh coconut, banana, mint; I don’t believe in using syrups. Borough market is nearby so I have no excuse not to use fresh fruits.”
The barista’s customers are increasing week by week. “I’m giving out a lot of free samples because British people don’t like change; you tell them there’s no cappuccinos and lattes and they get nervous. I have a bit of a cult
following building up”, he says. You can also find Gary at Maltby Street market on Saturdays. For more information visit www.beanbaggedcoffee.com or follow Beanbag Coffee on twitter @BeanbagLtd

‘Pay what you want’ again at Hamlet
46 NON-LEAGUE

The club ran the initiative last season against Hampton & Richmond and a stadium record crowd of 2,856 people came through the turnstiles. As on that day punters who come to the Champion Hill contest against VCD Athletic on October 3 will be asked to pay what they want at the gate, with two charities benefiting from any donations made. This season Hamlet are playing away on ‘Non-League Day, a nationwide campaign to promote non-professional sides, but have decided to have their celebration a week earlier than everybody else. Club Community spokesman Mishi Morath said: “We had so much fun last year; we didn’t want to miss out this time around even though we’re playing away on Non-League day.” Last season two designated charities, chosen by the Mayor of Southwark,
benefitted to the tune of £6,000. This year, with the agreement of club owners Hadley Property Group, supporters are again being asked to come along and simply donate at the gate. The two charities set to benefit are local mental health group Cooltan Arts, the club’s official charity partner this season, and the British Heart Foundation, selected as two Dulwich Hamlet fans suffered serious health scares last season. Mr Morath added: “None of this would be possible without the foresight of our owners Hadley Property Group. “It is a big gamble, as match day costs still have to be covered, but our fans really publicised this event last season, our Supporters’ Trust were brilliant and we’re hoping for more of the same this season.” Jack Payne, Dulwich Hamlet FC Chairman, told the News: “We love holding special days like this. It’s our way of thanking both our fans and the wider local community for being so loyal to us over the last few years. “It’s part of what makes the club so special”

The last time the pair met Dulwich picked up the point they needed to gain promotion to the Ryman Premier League, but there would be no partying from the Pink and Blues after this meeting. Hamlet fell behind in the first half when Pat Harding netted for the home side but the lead lasted just six minutes before
Ashley Carew curled a free kick into the Town net. The visitors fell behind once again when Dan Pearse scored for Burgess Hill but parity was restored before the break when Danny Waldren netted for Hamlet. Burgess Hill got the decisive goal five minutes from time when Andy Pearson netted to bag the home side all three points. The reverse was the third time Hamlet have lost in their opening ten league games and after Saturday’s games they sit in seventh spot in the table. But they are only six points behind league leaders Grays Athletic and are still
Sheppey United 1 Fisher FC 0 Croydon 0 Fisher FC 2
FISHER MADE a swift exit from the Kent Senior Trophy at the weekend after losing out by a solitary goal to Kent Invicta League side Sheppey United.
The Sheerness based outfit, who operate a step lower in the non-league ladder than the Fish, won out thanks to a solitary first half effort from Andrew Thompson.
Alfie Roche did have the ball in the net before Thompson opened the scoring but his effort was ruled out for pushing. The visitors put in a fighting display throughout but Frazer Bent spurned a superb second half chance to level things up. The Fish returned to league action on Monday night when they made the shorter trip to nearby Croydon. This time they came away with the win, and three league points, thanks to a first half injury time effort from Travis
Gregory, supplemented by a second half goal from Shelton Gooden. The win lifted Fisher to tenth place in the Southern Counties Football League table having picked up eleven points from eight league encounters this campaign.

STANSFELD GOT back to winning ways with a bang on Saturday by demolishing newly promoted Halstead United.
Stansfeld started the brighter of the two sides and were well on top from early on. Bill Shinners, Sam Ryan and Billy Jolley all had chances to open the scoring. The breakthrough eventually came courtesy of an own goal on 20 minutes.
The second goal came ten minutes later when Charlie Burgess bundled the ball home at the far post following a Mickey Smith set piece. The second half saw Halstead start to throw long balls forward at every opportunity, but the Stansfeld defence stood firm and it wasn't long before they had increased their lead. Jolley got on the scoresheet with the goal of the game, as he stepped in from the right wing to unleash an unstoppable shot into the top left
hand corner of the net from 30 yards out. This goal seemed to kill off any resistance Halstead may have had and the game was over as a contest when top scorer Shinners netted his fourth goal in five games after bravely heading over the onrushing Halstead keeper. Stansfeld were then awarded a penalty with five minutes remaining, when Sam Ryan was fouled in the box. Smith saw his penalty well saved by the Halstead keeper, but he

Stansfeld manager Lloyd Bradley said: “After two defeats on the bounce, the response from the players at training during the week was top drawer and it showed in the way they played today. “I was thrilled with this performance and the attitude of the players. We decided to go back to basics, giving the players a bit more freedom to play and it certainly paid off”.

The club has taken on a 1,000 ticket challenge and has been pushing a number of promotions to get bums on seats this weekend. A Lionesses spokesman said they hoped their hard work pays off this Sunday. He said: “A record crowd is expected following a 1.000 ticket challenge and the players' appearance at the Junior Lions fun Day last Sunday. “The reception they received from players and supporters alike was more positive than ever before.” The FA Women’s Super League runs from March to October, and this Sunday is the last but one match at The Den this season. On Sunday October 4 the Lionesses face promotion chasing Reading in their final home game. The spokesman added: “The Lionesses are the third force in London after Chelsea and Arsenal, and it is vital we increase attendances at The Den. “No other club plays so many games on League grounds, but Tottenham, QPR, Brighton, Charlton and West Ham all play in the division below, and are currently investing to try and catch up. “They have all responded to the success of the England team at the World Cup in July, so bigger crowds for the Lionesses are now more important than ever.” For ticket information visit millwall.fawsl.com.

Docklands JFC U16s 4 AFC Chislehurst 2
A NEW look Docklands side started the season in fine fashion with a home win against AFC Chislehurst.
The young squad, two thirds of whom are playing out of their age group, have been put together in recent weeks but they fared well in their opening encounter of this campaign. A truncated pre-season seemed to have its effect early on as Docklands started slowly and the visitors capitalised by opening the scoring. Just before half time Docklands Kelly Odhe beat two men on the right wing and slotted home powerfully underneath the Chislehurst keeper to level things up. After the break Odhe got his second goal, almost a mirror image of his first effort. Soon after midfielder Joseph Earls shot from outside the area, which the Chislehurst keeper parried, but striker Jamie Bennet pounced to put Docklands 3-1 up. A penalty brought the visitors to within one goal once again but Sulaiman Bangura, who conceded the spot kick, made amends by netting the final goal of the game. Manager Jamie Mehmet said: “We must say a massive thank you to British Land PLC and Surrey Quays
A new look Dockland U16 side, main, will wear Tommy Blackmore tributes on their shirts this season, inset.
for sponsoring the team for the third consecutive year. “This season we have had a tribute to Tommy Blackmore printed on the rear of the shirts, with permission from Tommy’s brothers Micky and Bradley. “Tommy was a good lad and loved his football and we think this is a fitting tribute to him, god rest his soul. “The boys will wear the kit with
pride” Before the game a minutes silence was held in Tommy’s memory by referee Harry Dobbs. Bermondsey boy Tommy Blackmore died aged 20 after being killed at an incident near Tower Bridge. He was found “critically injured” in Queen Elizabeth Street by police and rushed to hospital. He couldn’t be saved.

Garton told the News: “Last Saturday was a final eliminator but the current champion is due to defend that crown in December, as the fight needed to be put back. “I have spoken to my manager and I will get a shot but it won’t be until next year now so I will probably have a tune up fight before my English title fight. “That bout will happen as I have a shot at the title, not the man, so who wins in December doesn’t matter.” Garton stated that he enjoyed his win against Welsh, the pair had previously
fought out a drawn contest in May, despite the fact that pre-fight plans went out of the window. Garton said: “I should have boxed more but when I got into the ring it became more of a tear up really. “I never thought before the fight that I would stop him. But the pace was too much for him and I caught him. “I’m glad I won so convincingly this time. I thought I won it last time too. I am happy with the stoppage as only Brian Rose has stopped him before and that was at a higher weight category.”
The Peckham man holds down a job as well as finding time to fight in the pro ranks but he has managed to secure some much needed sponsorship from car bodyshop experts Hamilton & Palmer. Garton added: “It was all a bit last minute but they are sponsoring me for three fights. Often I will be out of pocket after I have paid my bills following a fight so to get help is really helpful. “I also have to thank those people again who came along and supported me, as always they were magnificent.”

Watson then played a one-two with Hyam who hit a cracking 30 yard shot which found the top corner.

But the ex-Lynn ABC boxer has been told since his win that that fight will not happen until 2016 due to the commitments of current champion Adam Little.
SURREY SUFFERED an agonising last over defeat against Gloucestershire at Lord’s on Saturday in the final of the Royal London One Day Cup.
The Kennington side will be kicking themselves that they did not come away from the home of cricket with silverware at the weekend, as they held the upper hand for most of the contest. Jade Dernbach starred with the ball for Surrey taking 6/35, including a hat-trick, as Gloucestershire posted a seemingly below par score of 220 in their allotted overs. Despite Surrey losing openers Jason Roy and Steven Davies early on they still seemed to be on top of the run chase thanks to knocks of 60 from Kumar Sangakkara and 56 from Rory Burns. Even when those departed, with Surrey on 148/4, the Kia Oval outfit should have made it home but with the exception of Sam Curran the lower order could not make significant contributions and Surrey ended up six runs short of victory. Skipper Gareth Batty said: “We maybe let them get a few too many runs and I believe we should have got 220. “There is nobody to blame in any department, we just got it wrong. If somebody has to put their head on the block it has to be me, we changed format for the conditions and we came out losers.” He added: “We will wallow in this loss for a few hours but we have a big week of cricket ahead of us next week.” That seven days entails Surrey’s final game of the season against Northants at the Kia Oval, which started on Tuesday. The Southwark side will win the second division County Championship title if they win that contest, or if they maintain all or some of their eight point advantage over Lancashire at the end of the final round of games. Irrespective of the result Surrey have already secured promotion to Division One next campaign. For the latest Surrey news, and to find the result of the Northants game, visit www.kiaoval.com.

Hyam's great run and cross field pass was then latched onto by Hayley who rounded the keeper to complete his hat trick. Diangana claimed the tenth Docklands goal before Hyam netted again. Dulwich finally got on the scoresheet before the Docklands scoring was rounded off by further efforts from Tyrese Flash, Stephen Amedu, Piper and Charlie Macdonald. Manager Danny Belcher said: “I thought we were absolutely excellent today all over the pitch, the way we pressed and moved the ball was very pleasing and scored some brilliant goals too, even more pleasing was so many different players on the score sheet.”

O’BRIEN TREBLE CUTS CREWE DOWN
Millwall’s assistant manager takes a studious approach to coaching career
By John Kelly at Gresty Road johnk@southwarknews.co.uk
AIDEN O’BRIEN said last week that he was a “born striker” and that if the chances came he would take them, but even he could not have imagined how soon he would deliver on those words – and how spectacularly.
He was the difference between the sides, offering Millwall the clinical edge that Crewe struggled to find. O’Brien said his favourite strike was his third, when he picked up the ball 25 yards out before bamboozling three or four Crewe defenders with some stunning footwork to move into the box and plant a left-footed effort past Ben Garratt. His manager Neil Harris picked out his opening goal, when he twisted his body to turn the ball into the net after Carlos Edwards had initiated a move in the inside-right channel and fizzed a ball across the six-yard boss. In between, in the 64th minute, O’Brien opportunistically latched onto Ed Upson’s pass with his back to goal 25 yards out to quickly turn and fire a right-footed drive past Garratt, who was perhaps taken by surprise with little danger apparent. Harris said afterwards he wondered if Millwall were going to be out of luck when Crewe equalised in the 36th minute, the ball taking a couple of deflections before finally flicking off striker Lauri Dalla Valle to leave Jordan Archer wrong-footed as it rolled into the net. The Lions needed Sid Nelson to fling himself at Chris Atkinson’s shot when he surged into the box and looked like he was about to score in the first half, while Archer made three significant blocks in the second, the pick of them a rapid double save to keep out first Harry Davis and then Dalla Valle. But after O’Brien’s second Millwall always looked comfortable before he sealed his first ever senior hat-trick to hand his side three vital points.

THERE IS something of a scholarly edge underpinning some of the preparations of the Millwall squad this season.

development but tactical preparation and physical conditioning. Millwall’s assistant manager is a fan of Dutch coach Raymond Verheijen, the fitness guru and the man who branded David Moyes a “dinosaur” for the training methods he believed had contributed to Robin van Persie’s injury problems at Manchester United. And Livermore says he is constantly reaching out for new knowledge that can improve his own performance. He explained: “There are always little bits and pieces that you pick up as a coach. “I’m always interested in adding what I can. A big favourite of mine is Raymond Verheijen, I read a lot of his stuff. He’s very outspoken, very critical of football clubs. I’ve kind of followed his methodology for about three seasons in the academy so I always look to take the good bits from people like that. “It was basically through the academy, it was an opportunity with a tour that came up. It’s something I like to do at the end of the season if I have the opportunity to see a different football
culture. “Obviously Holland has a great tradition in developing young players, and I was more in youth development at that stage. So I went to see AZ Alkmaar and spent a day with them and then a day with Feyenoord who had nine players at the last World Cup, which was the most of any football club worldwide. I was very fortunate to able to go and observe their methods. “One of the things it did was to reinforce the positive things that we do here. There are a lot of similarities. “The two clubs are very different. AZ were a bit more forward-thinking, a bit more open with their approach. Feyenoord were a bit more traditional in their set-up, but I can’t argue with what they’ve done: they won academy football club of the year five years on the spin before AZ took it off them.” Livermore also outlined one of the areas where he feels English clubs can benefit from the knowledge and expertise of their Dutch counterparts. “In Holland what they do better is periodisation,” he said. “That’s probably
something that we could do better. “Periodisation is: When do we train? When, how intense, at what points? How do we work the tactical element into a training session? They have very much an integrated approach where everything – whether it’s possession, a small-sided game – is always doing it from the shape of your team, from the principles of your play. It’s also about when, how and why you do your football conditioning as well.” Livermore stressed that bringing players such as Sid Nelson, Fred Onyedinma and Ben Thompson, who have all been prominent at times in the first team this season, through the academy is key to the club’s long-term strategy in a more constricted financial climate in League One. “That’s the direction the club wants to go in,” he said. “We want to promote youth and the development of our players. We can’t spend a lot of money on transfers. So for us (as coaches) that’s great, but ultimately it’s about putting a team out there that is competitive and can win football matches.”

When you look at him Keith Hill is the embodiment of the no-nonsense boss. The 46-year-old former defender made over 200 appearances for Dale between 1996 and 2001. He first took over the managerial reins at the club in 2006, giving an early indication of his credentials by saving them from relegation in his first season as boss. League Two play-off heartache followed in each of the next two campaigns before he lead them to automatic promotion to League One in 2009-10. He departed to manage Championship Barnsley in 2011 before returning to Rochdale in January 2013 and again revived them after their relegation, gaining promotion from League Two in April, 2014.

LIONS HAVE HILL TO CLIMB
Battle-hardened coach stands in the way of first league win at The Den By John Kelly
johnk@southwarknews.co.uk
AFTER FACING a side in the relegation places last weekend, Millwall will be attempting to get a first home win at the fifth attempt against one in the top six on Saturday.
Neil Harris felt his players did not lack effort in losing for the fourth time in the league at The Den this season against Southend, but is calling for more sharpness in attack and a reduction of defensive errors against Keith Hill’s Rochdale. Rochdale lost to Burton Albion in their last league game away from home but showed their resilience last week as Peter Vincenti’s late strike against Scunthorpe at Spotland gave them a 21 win and moved them up to fifth in the
table. Hill wasn’t afraid to apply some tough love despite that win when he ordered his other goalscorer, striker Joe Bunney, to up his performance levels. That wasn’t the first time this season he’d flexed his authority with regard to the younger players in his squad. After the defeat to Burton which 19-year-old defender Andy Cannon missed through injury, he questioned the seriousness of the complaint and added, “he has to understand that pain doesn’t mean you can’t play.” That kind of hardness is something supporters at The Den would appreciate and Rochdale will be far from obliging opposition when Millwall aim to win at home in the league for the first time since early May. Harris admitted after the defeat to Phil
Brown’s Shrimpers that he could have made some changes to his “leggy” side after two away games in four days, but refused to be drawn on whether he will bring in the likes of Shane Ferguson, Lee Gregory or Ben Thompson this weekend. The Millwall boss was pleased with the return of six points from the last three games, but admitted that turning around their home form would boost the confidence of the squad. “We were greedy and wanted nine points,” he said after last weekend’s defeat. “I was keen on seven because it would have kept it unbeaten through the week. “But I try to take it one game at a time if possible. After two good wins and terrific performances (at Crewe and Port Vale) we desperately wanted to win our home game.
Visit www.newsatden.co.uk for all the latest Millwall news online
“I was a little bit frustrated not being able to take the nine points in the end. On the whole it was a good week, points-wise, but also with regard to the work we did between the Peterborough and Crewe games. “There’s no doubt we’re showing signs of progressing as a team in every fixture we’re playing, so we’re desperate to keep that going. “Obviously to add points to the home performances that are improving all the time is the aim, but we’re definitely getting better as a team. “There are units developing. The defence, midfield and strikers, they are gelling much better. That’s the pleasing thing and something that we know is going to take time. “To be able to finally add a home win to that would add more belief to what we’re doing.”

WEBSTER : CONSISTENCY KEY IN ‘MENTAL’ LEAGUE By John Kelly
johnk@southwarknews.co.uk
EXCLUSIVE
MILLWALL DEFENDER Byron Webster is calling for more “consistency” from his side as they again approach a game under the cloud of poor league form at The Den.
The Lions have the worst home record in Sky Bet League One and are aiming to avoid a fifth successive defeat at SE16 with Rochdale the visitors this
weekend. Webster came back into the side when Sid Nelson picked up a rib injury at Crewe Alexandra, and he formed a solid partnership with Mark Beevers as Millwall won two away games in four days. But that momentum was lost last weekend with defeat to Southend when Webster was lucky not to do more damage to his leg following a poor challenge (above) in the last minute of the game. Webster has experienced the challenge of chasing promotion before, and was part of a Yeovil side, along with current Millwall teammate Ed Upson, that climbed into the second tier of English football for the first time in their history with a 2-1 win over Brentford in the League One playoff final in 2013. “It’s about consistency,” the 28-yearold centreback said. “My previous club when we got promoted we were unbeaten for five, lost five on the bounce and then won five. “If we’d won on Saturday it would have
taken us up towards the play-offs. It’s so tight, it’s a crazy league. “You look at the Championship and the number of teams that make a late surge to get in the play-offs and nine times out of ten they’re the ones who go up in the end. So it is massively about consistency. “Rochdale are up in the play-offs but we’re all the same, anyone can beat anyone. You look at the team who were favourites to go up, Sheffield United (currently in seventh place), they lost the first game of the season, won a couple, losing, drawing. It’s a mental league… and it’s all about your mentality.” Webster could miss this Saturday’s clash after the tackle from Glenn Rea at the weekend that left him crumpled on The Den pitch just as referee Mark Haywood was blowing his final whistle also resulted in severe bruising, but the defender refused to blame the Shrimpers player, preferring instead to see the collision as the result of both teams’ desire to win the game. He also revealed the frustration currently felt by the squad as they search for an answer to the run of bad form at home. “I don’t think there was any maliciousness in (the tackle),” Webster said. “It’s about winning, isn’t it? Both teams wanted to win so everyone was going for every ball, every header, every tackle. “Teams are maybe coming to The Den and looking to counterattack,
Defender wants to apply previous experience to potential promotion push sitting in and countering. We need to find another way to break these teams down. “It’ll be different if we go ahead, they’ll need to come and attack us. Spaces appear and we have players who can use that to their advantage. “We’re working hard on the training pitch and we’ll definitely put it right.” Millwall conceded from another set-piece last Saturday having relinquished three points at home to Barnsley in August through the same failings. Neil Harris was furious with his players’ defending after that game and openly questioned who was taking responsibility when defending dead balls. But he was less critical after Saturday’s defeat, and Webster stressed it is how the squad recovers after mistakes that is the true test of its character. “I don’t think mistakes have anything to do with (a player being dropped),” Webster explained. “Mistakes happen in games, otherwise they’d end 0-0. “I think the gaffer is talking about responsibility in terms of being intelligent on the pitch when there are times to slow the game down, to quicken the game. “Football has moved on a lot. There is a lot of method behind the madness of what happens in the game. Mistakes are part and parcel
of it, it’s how you react to them, that’s what he wants. “Don’t get me wrong, mistakes cost games. The gaffer is not saying, ‘It’s okay to make mistakes’ but there are certain mistakes that are more acceptable than others. If you’re going to try to bring the ball down in your box and dribble out he’ll have something to say about it. “Mistakes for keepers and defenders are more magnified than for a striker or a midfielder. An attacker can lose the ball in the opponent’s half and if the opposition go all the way down and score, maybe it’s not counted as a mistake by the attacker.” Goalkeeper Jordan Archer revealed that the squad couldn’t “put their finger” on the reason for their home troubles, but for Webster it all boils down to simple elements. “The style of play we’re playing is the same whether home or away,” he said. “You can look deep into it. The home team, when we’re away, they have to come out and attack us and that leaves spaces open for us to utilise our attacking players who have been doing very well. “At The Den they have been able to get their two banks of four, get their midfield and defence together so it’s up to us to break them down. “You can look too much into it but for us it’s about putting the ball in the back of the net and keeping it out of ours.”

MILLWALL MISSED a glorious chance to edge closer to the play-off spots as Southend became the fourth side this season to leave south London with three league points.
The real frustration after this latest setback is that, with League One throwing up unpredictable results on a weekly basis, a run of consistency will propel a side up the table. Two successive wins had brought Millwall from fourth bottom to the top half and another would have pushed them to within four points of the automatic promotion spots. The lead at the top of the table has changed hands five times already this season with Burton Albion, under the Dutch influence of Jimmy Floyd Hasslebaink, becoming the latest side to rise to the top of the pile after Gillingham, Coventry and Walsall all had turns on the summit previously. The Lions were odds on before the game to extend their winning run to
four as Southend arrived at The Den with a number of injury problems and occupying a place in the relegation zone after a difficult start to the season following their promotion from League Two last season. Phil Brown also set up his side in a 44-2 formation, matching the hosts who had looked more settled since the international break. Millwall had struggled to maintain possession against Coventry, Barnsley and Chesterfield, all of whom sought to and succeeded in drawing the sting from the home side by playing three in the centre of midfield. Southend were less imposing but still managed to wring maximum return from two shots on target in 90 minutes. In truth, though, they were arguably the best two chances of the game and came from a couple of lapses in concentration in the home side’s defence. Millwall had allowed a long throw into the box to bounce before Shaun Williams hacked it clear and when the ball was returned David Worrall lifted a cross onto the forehead of David
Mooney just a few yards out and the Irish striker buried his header past Jordan Archer on 37 minutes. At the other end Aiden O’Brien, in such good form recently, saw his header saved by Daniel Bentley and then shot well over when he should have at least found the target. Five minutes into the second half the sharpness that was absent in an attacking sense was also missing at the back when centre-back Adam Barrett was left in too much space in the penalty area to power Michael Timlin’s cross past Archer. Neil Harris immediately brought on Lee Gregory for Ed Upson who had lacked conviction with a couple of efforts from outside the area. Brown’s side, still unbeaten away from home in the league this season, were content to sit deep with the reassuring knowledge they have one of the best goalkeepers in the league in their last line of defence. Harris said afterwards Bentley is destined to play in the Premier League and the 22-year-old had given veracity to those claims with a smart stop to push

Steve Morison’s snap shot in the area away from danger and generally offer composure under a barrage of Millwall crosses into the box. Shane Ferguson and Paris CowanHall came on to give further width with just over twenty minutes left and both also offered a directness previously lacking but without any tangible result. The home side forced twelve corners to their opponents’ one but it was all a bit one-dimensional as they chased some consolation from the game. Millwall are bottom of the home form table, having now conceded eleven goals in their own back yard – more than any side in the division. Their return of just two scored is on a meagre par with only Southend, Shrewsbury and bottom side Blackpool. Harris was still optimistic leaving the press lounge on Saturday evening, determinedly promising “one of these days soon I’ll be speaking to you after a home victory”. That needs to arrive quickly if Millwall are to justify their pre-season status as one of the promotion favourites.

Former defender adds ‘strong voice’ in dressing room
By John Kelly
johnk@southwarknews.co.uk
NEIL HARRIS has hailed Andy Frampton’s influence in the dressing room with the Millwall coach recently taking his place on the bench alongside the manager and assistant Dave Livermore.
Frampton, who played for the Lions between 2007 and 2011, re-joined the club in the summer as a development coach after finishing his playing career with AFC Wimbledon. He was a teammate of Harris’ when Millwall last won promotion from League Two in 2010, and the Lions manager believes the 36-year-old will be a valuable asset in inspiring the same spirit in the current group. Harris said: “Framps is now fulltime with us and is part of the coaching set-up with the first team. He adds something different to myself and Livers on the training ground and in the dressing room.
“He’s a man with vast experience at The Den. He’s a great character, a really good leader and really well respected within the dressing room. “He brings another opinion, another set of eyes and ears. He brings great mental strength and is a strong voice in the dressing room. “He has been bedding in since joining us. He had other commitments that were ongoing but they have been concluded now. Meanwhile Millwall have a number of injury concerns before Saturday’s clash with Rochdale at The Den. Defender Byron Webster will be assessed after being on the end of a heavy challenge last weekend against

Southend. Winger Paris Cowan-Hall is out, however, after he picked up a groin injury in the Elite Development Squad’s 4-1 win over Coventry on Monday as his luckless run continues. There could be concern for Harris in the centre of his defence as Sid Nelson is still recovering from the bang to the ribs he suffered against Crewe. Meanwhile Shaun Cummings, who has been out with a hamstring injury, will resume training on Thursday, and attacker Kris Twardek, who was so impressive in pre-season, is also returning after recovering from a fracture dislocation of his toe.
FRINGE PLAYERS IN THE RECKONING By John Kelly
johnk@southwarknews.co.uk
MILLWALL MANAGER Neil Harris could freshen his side up this weekend for the crucial fixture against Rochdale at The Den.
Harris named an unchanged team for the second successive game against Southend last Saturday, but Shane Ferguson and Lee Gregory were introduced with the Lions trying to claw back a two-goal deficit. Ferguson, in particular, looked bright and could offer his side an attacking threat from deep on the left flank. Harris said: “Looking back on the last four fixtures, three wins and a good performance against Southend, albeit a defeat, we had a similar starting eleven and the players did really well. “But the players who have come off the bench have also made an impact, which is vital. “They definitely come into my thinking.” Harris felt Millwall lacked sharpness last weekend but is hopeful the longer preparation time this week will result in an improved performance. “We didn’t have the zip we had previously but with a week between games players are well recovered. “I’ll pick a team that I think is capable of causing Rochdale a lot of problems. “It’s going to be a tough game. They’ve got some good balance in the team and play some good football. They’re a possession-based team but can go direct also. It’s a good challenge for us but we don’t need to look at who we’re playing to make it a challenge. “Six points separate sixth from fourth from bottom and Rochdale have made a good start. “The challenge for us is to be better than we are all the time and keep striving to be successful at The Den.”
