I'd just like to say what a fantastic time I've had going to the last two Hamlets friendly games. The atmosphere was great and everyone was friendly. I'd not been before despite being a big football fan but will now definately be buying a season ticket and plan to get down there whenever they play. Not only was the football enjoyable but I had a great time having a laugh talking to people and meeting other people who live in Dulwich who I may not have met.

I'd urge anyone who hasn't been before to give it a go and get behind the team, great for community spirit!

I totally agree. We moved to East Dulwich 2 years ago and lived behind the football ground. I went to my first game within a month of moving here...and loved it!


Its a nice friendly atmosphere...theres never any aggro , hoolaganism or trouble. The crowds have banter and a laugh...we pile into the bar at half time and full time ...for footie results on Sky!

And great little kitchen downstairs with the ladies serving up tasty burgers, chips, hot dogs


The nicest thing is being able to take my little girl down there..and she happly runs around playing and watching the footie with me!!

Even Franster who normally hates football , enjoyed the day out down there.


Its great value for money...?6 entry


So come down and support your local team here!!

It's good to hear that people enjoyed it so much. Likewise I converted from watching higher level football after moving here in the late 90s - it's suprising how many people do so, once they 'discover' it and give it a try. There are certainly no glory hunters (!) just locals - or people who used to be locals - enjoying the football and a few beers.


Just to emphasise the point on prices - the club have cut admission by 25% this season (from ?8 to ?6) which I think brings it much more into line with what I would say is good value for the quality of football played. Over 60s and 12-16 year olds are just ?2 and accompanied children under 12 are free.


Season tickets are also cheap as chips. Details are on the link below (ignore the 'ticketing page on the website which has the old prices).

In case people don't know, the club were one of the great teams of amateur football's golden age from the 1920s to 1950s attracting five figure crowds to a massive ground where Sainsbury's now is - the history page from the club's website below may be of interest to those who would like to know more.

Hopefully with more local support they can have a brighter future too.

Yeah we all can see the Muck is trying to blame the Gooner for her misconduct......but Muck is Muck wherever it stands......


*runs onto pitch, volleys bog roll into air....chests it down....cruyff turns the last defender and scores!*


Eddie, the stands are going to be invaded by EDFers over the coming season....be sure to keep reminding us of the games and the great value they are for a family day/ evening out!


Oh and I can hand on heart say that the team ain't half bad either.

Not me mate...


And yes...roll on the next game. I might even take up knitting and knit myself a pink and blue scarf. How much is a season ticket?

LM you will probably find the cost of the wool more than the fiver it costs to buy one and you'll drop so many stitches anyway it'll look [email protected]


Jason...they've got a website with the matches on. I think the first one is the 24th 7.30 kick off. Weegee started a thread too with all this seasons homes games listed.

*plots to complete cheap Dulwich Hamlet scarf in depths of winter - preferably when snow/sleet/blizzards are forecast*

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
