The Dolphin catches a mild dose of World Cup Fever…

I remember when the Dolphin was opening how many people liked the idea of pub without a TV showing football but I note that the Dolphin has succumbed to the irresistible pull of the beautiful game, albeit in a rather understated genteel fashion.
England games are being shown (other matches on request) but you have to book a table and you’re not allowed to wear to a football shirt or hat! I think they may allow you stand and clap should England score a goal and the occasional call of “well played” and even “come on England” may be permitted.

I shall be trying to catch at least one Ghana game at the Gold Coast Bar on Portland Road, South Norwood as I did for Germany 2006, great atmosphere. However, am wondering where Sydenham’s Ivoirians and Cameroonians will be watching their country’s games?

I'll be watching Simon.

Infact I'd like to try out a few locals for the football. Perhaps we should do a football crawl for STF United to watch a game per pub.

Is it 'cos Michael's wife is Serbian?

Simon...that can't be true...that is hilarious....

St george's day was good enough but not an england shirt, do you think they'd accept tasteful pin badges?

I thought they might do a big screen in the Garden, that would be ace.

I remember watching italia 90 out in a beer garden in Bromley, it was fantastic. Cant think why pubs dont show games out in the open air now, some law maybe ?

Think Dolphin should add specials to their menu to reflect what match they showing.
For example : England - Roast Beef
USA - Hamburgers
Italy - Pizza
South Korea - Dog
