Rileys (Frith Rd) started to shut at 11 exactly tonight with all the pool tables and bar being closed. The staff were accommodating and let us finish our match which was shortly after 11, but it wasn't a very pleasant way to end the evening.

Is there any way the Croydon Pool league can lobby Rileys to stay open to 12, so at least we can have a more enjoyable finish to the night ?

I can see this causing a problem with potential slower matches where teams may get asked to come back to finish their matches on another night.

Suspect the problem is that the staff are only payed up to 11, which seems a bit ridiculous as that's 'last orders' rather night finish for the staff.
