Rather than bad mouth RIleys (RIP rileys!) where we all work hard and strive to accomodate everybody, please pick up the phone and ask us as opposed to assuming points then you will get the truth.
With regards to Sky Sports the domestic football season has finished. The olympics and tennis are on terrestrial tv and cutting Sky Sports till the start of the football season will save the company in excess of ?3000 per unit, surely this is common business sense?
Yes we are a sports venue and Sky Sports WILL return for the charity shield which is the 1st game of the footie season.
With regard to Lewisham we are not accomodating there tables, god knows where this rumour came from.
With regards people thinking we are not profitable, have you got access to our accounts?
Finally please in future contact Simon, Martin or Aaron on 02086497788 rather than posting infactual comments.
Well said........ This place has be the best venue in the whole of croydon to watch the footie, great screen and great atmosphere and lets face it, it is the home of croydon pool and plays host to half the teams of the croydon pool leauge, and does it easily if ya ask me.....
WHY SO SERIOUS? |

just didnt like the trek over there teach,n the speed ov the table made the pockets like buckets so even average players could easily dish as there shots did not have to be pure...also on such forgiving tables some players played with great confidence knowing they cant miss when normally they might twitch...plus as a fudger its hard to to hang pockets...(just think it woz a tad 1 dimensional there)dish or be dished  n teach im not at all obsessed by pool far far far from it... |

I have to admit your right Tony being as we played all our matches at home last summer we were always going to win the leauge, also I agree the reson myslef and Ricky not missing a ball all night and u dishing was blantly due to the table and nothing to do with being half decent for once we agree  |

so sincere...all im saying is in golf you have to drive a ball well,hit solid irons,chip bump and run shots around greens and finally putt..its a challenge to try and master all aspects of the game...in pool you first thing you learn is how to pot,then next is to get position,then doubles,trick shots,snooker escapes,tactical play,touch play,finesse and so forth.all of these things make pool like a lesser version of golf but a challenge..smacking balls in ona 9ball table is not a challenge as potting is the very first thing we all learnt,yes it is fun but it clearly suits players who may not have evolved other parts of there game as well...not a dig at any1 at all just an observation...

Pat - I just saw your post about sky not being reconnected. That is pretty funny as Rileys were so proud about being a sports bar and garunteeing sky for the new season.....it's a slippery slope!

No Sky and no air con are pretty fundamental, but choosing between a toilet seat and a lock on the toilet door for the last year is starting to do my head in. How much would those cost to replace?
It's so infuriating to see one member of staff rota'd in on their own during an England game at 8pm on a Tuesday with about 6 teams playing out of the venue.
So what was the question again? Oh yeah, I don't think we need access to your accounts.
Sad thing is I've been an advocate of Rileys for years but the unbearable heat is starting to turn me against you. Even when it's 18 degrees outside it's about 40 up there.

[/constructive_criticism] Marty I agree buddy same old same old I'm afraid with Riley's If it's not broke don't fix it, if it is broke make it worse somewhere along them lines.
Riley's Purley never had decent locks on there toilets even the bog roll needed mending lol, even that was a tissue or is that an issue.
It's all down to money and budgets but I won't go into that, I'm only there to have a good game and meet some of my fellow pool buddy's.

it is what it is but it's silly for them to come on the website and defend themselves and make out they are something that they're not. But then again i have no doubt the staff member that posted that on the website had been told by management that sky would be back for the season.

Sky has been re-connected, reason for the delay was that negotations between head office and sky took longer than anticipated. |

I'm sure the majority of croydonpool forum users would agree that advertising a football match would mean that the televisions are defo in full working order.
We even have new batteries in the remotes so we can change channel if we need too.
