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*

    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.            
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
    • The Pie House Co-op Deptford Emergency Crisis - Needs YOUR Help. This not-for-profit, worker-run, wheelchair accessible music and arts venue at 213-214 Edward Place SE8 5HD THE CRISIS: From Liv, Grace & Sonia, On Friday 31st October, there was a flash flood in Deptford, and we found ourselves with water pouring in through the lighting fixtures, damaging our electrics and sound system.

Thank you in advance for your support so far, and your support going forward.
