People will interpret this how they want especially in these culture war days when everyone thinks everyone is out to get them, but I don't think there is any actual suggestion that if you stand in a pub, that pub will lose its licence. It looks to me another case of a fuss over nothing.
It's how the world is going, these older more traditional pubs are pretty empty nowadays so maybe need to adapt to get people through the door
Just to add some context to this they won't be actually banning people from standing up, they are asking for more seats and limit the number of people standing to prevent over crowding, they made the below statement yesterday
It is utterly ludicrous to suggest the Council is planning to "ban" people standing up in pubs. Suggesting otherwise is a wilful misreading of the policy proposals with clauses taken out of context.
"We want people to go out in the West End and have a good time. Our guidance is simply about encouraging venues to manage their customers so people don't pack onto pavements or excessive drinking doesn't disturb others passing by.
"The Cumulative Impact Zone is recognised as an area that has a high concentration of activity and particular policies exist for that in Westminster and the Mayor’s London-wider planning. There is a legal obligation to look at every application on its merits and we do just that, meaning we see new venues opening all the time. Again, there is little change here from the policy of previous administrations and we have seen new pubs and fast-food outlets open recently including a licence extension for the McDonald's on Leicester Square, which will now be open 24 hours despite objections from the Mayor’s police representatives.
"We are the country's largest planning authority with some 4,000 licensed venues. We reject less than 1.5% of license applications and there is a strong desire to see thriving, profitable, venues across Westminster.
"As we have made clear we are happy to work with the Mayor of London on licensing and have just launched our own campaign to promote nights out in Soho."
If you've got Sky you can watch it on the Sky Sports App or on SkyQ it will be on the main menu
Now TV offer a day pass for £14.99 which will include the game, never used it though so not sure how good it is, probably better value to buy it for a month and you'll get the next round as well and the Portsmouth game.
It's well worth a listen, the one with Gab the other day was really good and the away day ones have been good as well. They are different to the other podcasts out there in a good way
if you have Dykes as your main man expected to get 15-20 goals (as we did) then he's hopeless but as a support striker who works hard and can get 5-10 goals for you, he's a good signing and I think thats what Millwall are after
I agree it's a good move by the EFL, better crowds and teams more likely to play stronger sides. I'd go further and have the first two rounds before the league season starts then start the league season same weekend as the Premier League. If you get knocked out have an extra friendly
It's the first competitive game of the season and should be treated as such.
Maintain high standards from day one, as a club we will be going out to try and win every game and be as competitive as possible. If you start with an attitude of oh well this one doesn't matter then no shock when the team randomly phones in a few performances through the season.
Start as you mean to go on. Strongest team, try to win the game. We've just had multiple preseason games to experiment.
Dave Mc has fell out with the club plenty of times and still reported on them, I don't think it would make much difference. It's not just the club you get info from it will be agents, other clubs etc
Top 10 should be the aim, there are a lot of things that can go wrong to stop that happening but the aim of everyone at te club should be a top half finish and with the squad we have that is achievable. We basically wasted half a season last year and were still only a few wins off the top 10
