In non-league football cup replays have always been scheduled for the same week of the original tie. The Trophy has been like this for as long as I can remember (25 years or so), likewise the FA Vase. Don't forget that the FA Cup only changes to 10 day replays when the FL teams enter in round 1: all the preliminary and qualifying rounds have replays in the same week of the original tie.


The reason is to do with minimising disruption to the fixture list. Getting ties concluded asap means that future postponements are kept to a minimum.

It used to be the same in the FA Cup too when the old Football League teams became involved in the competition. It has only been since the 1990/91 season that FA Cup replays have been played "on the second Wednesday following the original match, or earlier if mutually agreed by the two Clubs" from the First Round Proper onwards. This is as a result of a change in police advice for the staging of such games. For the earlier stages of the FA Cup, replays have to be played "on or before the following Thursday" after the drawn match.


In the FA Trophy any drawn match throughout the competition "must be replayed on the following Thursday, unless the Clubs mutually agree to an earlier day". Clubs also have the option of settling a tie at the first time of asking: through extra time and penalties if required. Both clubs have to agree to this though, which obviously wasn't the case for the match last Saturday.

Won 5-0 against Merstham today, with a crowd of 1,564 - astonishing for this level, given that the opponents brought very few. Dulwich now have on paper a really good chance of making the playoffs, but need to take advantage of their several games in hand. This can be hard because fixtures pile up - e.g. Hamlet are now at home on 20th, 22nd and 25th. Let's all get behind them at those games!

Just turn up on the day and come in through the turnstiles.


Edited to say: see further info on post below (next page) re tickets in advance.

      Repairing a sagging sofa

      By tropica · Posted

      I have a sofa of similar age, which used to sag, and I spent a stupid amount of time with the supposed 'DIY' solutions, which are all a waste of time and money. Then I woke up and realised that it can't be rocket science. When you say that the springs have gone, do you know what sort of springs you have? If they are zig zag (sometimes called serpentine) springs then it's an incredibly cheap and easy thing to fix by anyone with a hammer, screwdrivers, possibly pliers, and new springs which can be bought from https://www.jamiltonupholstery.co.uk/product/sinuous-springs-with-fixing-nails/ Obviously you can also get them on that well known website that we're all trying to avoid.  If they are box springs, then you may be able to replace a single spring, or you may have to change the whole unit, still DIYable but you may need a friend to help you. You may even find that a spring has simply come loose and it just needs clipping back into place. Access to the springs may mean undoing the upholstery under the cushions, or it may be that you have to turn the sofa upside down. The feet usually just unscrew and then you can take the dust cover off the bottom to see what's what. There are loads of YouTube videos to help but please DM me if you need any help.

      Post Office Lordship Lane is Broken

      I think that sub post offices cannot operate without a formally trained person there, so maybe it closed because there was no trained cover, perhaps through sickness.

      TGJones, who bought WHS's high street business, are obliged to abide by the PO contracts that were already in place, but I guess as soon as these come up for renewal, they might reconsider. And I think the Forest Hill PO is open? Maybe it was a temporary closure for some reason.

      New update from Persepolis: So our new restaurant is VERY NEARLY OPEN. Remember: it is on SE22, the other end of East Dulwich. Persian food, kebabs, all the good things like Persepolis but with added meat. And added wine and beer. We’ll let you know when it’s opened but we’re reckoning the beginning of March…
