Inbetweener

Not sure about 'really late parties', but I know there have been some community-type events on Greendale on a Sunday afternoon/early evening recently. Is this what you are referring to? These events are allowed by the people who run the bars & other facilities at Dulwich Hamlet Football Club and I'm told come under all current licencing, but they're not arranged by Dulwich Hamlet Football Club per se, as in not to do with the voluntary Football Committee. They come under the remit of the General Manager of the Champion Hill site and associated facilities. If you want to contact him direct you can do so at [email protected] as he deals with the bookings for the Sunday events.

Clubs having 'undisclosed' fees is not specific for a reason here, it is fairly common throughout football, both non-league & Football League.

Just curious.... How long did this run for & what was the membership? Did they do a newsletter?

Really? It tastes like, erm, chicken to me..whenever I cook it, or buy it in a shop, takeaway, or restaurant.

Personally, I would love to see MORE inspectors on trains, as well as ticket offices being open all the time. Yesterday I 'wasted' ?9 on a return ticket from Lewisham to Gillingham, with my tickets not being checked once, and all barriers open.

Happened to be on a train out of Charing Cross last night as they were starting. Set off from a barge near Waterloo Bridge, so does sound like that Somerset House thing. More money than sense...but we're no in a period of national mourning or anything, so if that's how they choose to waste their money...

Certainly didn't look like he'd make it as high as he did, but from memory our ex-pro and much overweight but very skilled playmaker Peter 'Blobby' Garland was injured...and I think he was the only one who would have been 'on the same wavelength' as Peter Crouch. I could see what he was trying to do, but it was 'one step ahead' of the rest of our team at the time. But his attitude was good, and that is often what makes the difference between making it as a professional and not. I think that those of us who remember him, even though he only played a very small 'bit part' in our Club, are extremely proud of what he has achieved.

I realise you have probably posted in good faith and this is above board & all that... but, even if I had any spare money to donate, I certainly wouldn't trust a nom de plume and bank details that could be for anyone anywhere on a community forum. Sorry...

Just out of interest, not that I am planning to do this, presumably this walk is through public places as it's about the strteet art. If it's sold out what is there to stop anyone just tagging onto the walk through public streetd?

Just a reminder, there's a charity day with a charity game finale at six o'clock tomorrow, Sunday 7th Msy, all in aid of our 2016/17 charity partners Football Beyond Borders. More details here: http://www.pitchero.com/clubs/dulwichhamlet/news/football-feast-sunday-1797233.html

And please don't forget this tomorrow, where we're collecting unwanted sports gear for Africa: http://www.pitchero.com/clubs/dulwichhamlet/news/a-gentle-reminder-1779805.html

To be honest I can't really answer that, I've been supporting The Hamlet for almost 43 years now, and when people ask me this I say 'I honestly don't know, it's the way I was brought up as a kid'! There is a difference, in my opinion, between a local game & local rivalry. For example, a match against, say, Thamesmead Town or Greenwich Borough, would 'be just another game', even though they are local. Again, my opinion only, rivalries can fluctuate. In the late 1890's to the turn of the last century, when we were playing very local football, I would say our rivalry would have been with Townley Park, but after the great amateur split of 1907, when they chose the AFA route, it became Nunhead FC, who were previously known as Wingfield House. They never came back after the Second World War, & Wimbledon became a big South London rival...t****g & mitcham joined the Isthmian League in the late Fifties, and Wimbledon left it in 1963, to join the professional ranks in the Southern League, so I would guess t*****g evolved as the natural local rivals then. t*****g are still 'affectionately' referred to by fans of my generation as the 'thugs & muggers'. There is also a recent dislike/hatred of Leatherhead AKa Levred-SCUM, after 'Wall-gate' in 2013.

Needham Market is a Ryman League match, the visitors are currently in second place in the table. as The Hamlet continue to push for a play-off spot. Barkingside is a London Senior Cup tie...a home match against our old & bitter rivals t****g & mitcham united, beckons for the victors in the quarter-finals. And the Macclesfield Town game sees The Hamlet-only side from our level left in the competition-take on the former Football League side from the National League national division, in the quarter-finals of the FA Trophy. Only two rounds from Wembley....

Due to necessity, of it being the only caf? near to wear I work, I sometimes have lunch here. To be honest, it does a job...it fills a hole, no more, no less. I find the staff are just that...staff. They don't seem welcoming, more going through the motions. But today, I got annoyed. I ordered my food, and then the wrong plate came up, seems someone else was happily tucking into my food; where they readily 'accidentally' took the extra food on the plate, well who wouldn't, eh? I accept the fact mistakes are made, these things happen. However, they then came back with what I'd ordered, EXCEPT it wasn't what I'd ordered. They got it wrong again! Which meant an even longer wait. Again, these things happen...but worst of all, no single apology. And things like that piss me off. I'm sure business will continue to be booming for them, as they're the only traditional greasy spoon type caf? up at The Plough...but they've lost me as a customer.

Shame...would have loved to have seen it. We played Torquay United at home in the FA Cup first round proper in 1934/35 & 1935/36.

Although there's been no response to this, people who are interested in local history, might like to look at this 'labour of love' by one of our fans...there's some great historical pieces on here: http://thehamlethistorian.blogspot.co.uk/

Having thoroughly enjoyed reading through a long thread on the V1/V2 attacks on our area in the Second world War I thought I would appeal for peoples' memories on here on another subject. I am a lifelong supporter of Dulwich Hamlet FC, for over forty years now, man and boy. I'm interested in your memories of supporting the Club, anecdotal or your own, perhaps handed down by a relative, if you weren't a fan yourself. Or just memories of the Club or ground if you supported another football team. It doesn't matter if you're a lapsed fan and haven't been for years. I'd love to hear about trips to the ground; players you remember; specific games; trips to away games; memories of other grounds; what the Club meant to you; various probably long forgotten characters on the terraces; who you went with and why...all that sort of thing... In nervous anticipation, I thank anyone and everyone who can contribute to this thread...

And don't forget...Saturday is our annual 'Pay What You Like' match, with all profit to be donated equally between our 2016/17 charity partners 'Football Beyond borders' & 'Dog Kennel Hill Adventure Playground'. Usual admission prices are ?10 for adults; ?4 concessions & Under 13s FREE. Please feel free to spread the word among family & friends through whatever forms of social media, websites & forums you use. Thank you.

On Saturday 19th November Dulwich Hamlet are at home to Worthing, in a Ryman League Premier Division match, kick off at three o'clock. Please spread the word amongst all of your friends, neighbours, work colleagues, mates at school, college and so on as... All profit from the match, after the usual matchday costs have been met, are being donated to charity by Dulwich Hamlet Football Club. For this match simply come through the turnstiles and make whatever donation you wish...from a penny to a hundred pounds! All money raised will be donated to our official 2016/17 charity partner Football Beyond Borders, an excellent South London based charity that works with children as an educational project through football; and our near neighbours, the Dog Kennel Hill Adventure Playground. All surplus money will be split 50/50 between them. So please spread the word. (Admins: The Club don't gain from this, so can you please keep this on the main thread, as it is not 'promoting an event' as such, as we-as a Club-do not benefit...thank you) Usual admission is ?10 for adults, a wide range of concessions are ?4 & all under thirteens are free anyway.

At 7.00pm, in the Club Boardroom, we are holding a small non-denominational wreath laying ceremony at the Club War Memorial. This will be following by the bar being open, where you can watch the England v. Scotland match on the televisions in our bar. Thus saving yourself lots of money, and not to far to travel home...

A perfect case of 'lazy journalism'...load of nonsense really. When I spoke to him I told him I knew it would the usual 'crap stitch up job' (My name is Mishi Morath) and, surprise surprise...it was! But I'm firmly in the 'all publicity is good publicity' camp..and you simply can't buy 'advertising' space like this.

Don't know hire costs, but Dulwich Hamlet FC hire out the bar for weddings....call the ground on 020 7274 8707 for more info. Ask for Shaun, the bar manager, or his number, if he's not there.

go to the Supporters Trust website: www.dhst.org.uk & you will find a link to the merchandise on there.

Whilst I can't complain where this message is...I did post it in the general section because I wanted to bring the event to the wider attention of people who look on this forum, might be interested, but only have time to look at the 'general' page. It's somewhat hidden tucked away on this page. I didn't post it as the person behind the night...just as someone who wanted it to do well...

I'm a punter, with no connection to the pub, so hope it's alright to post in this section. The event is already mentioned by the pub in the What's On section, but I thought people might want to talk about it here as well. They are trying to establish it every Monday, from seven, and it's on tonight. It's free and everyone who performs gets a free drink too! I've been to the first two, and would love something like this to get established in East Dulwich. It's been people singing with guitars, but they also welcome spoken word, which is what I do. I n=know these things take a while to get established, and I hope this one does. If it works I think it will be the only one in East Dulwich. Does anyone know of any more, locally-(ish)? I know there's a Tuesday nighter in Gipsy Hill, but not been to that before.
