I'll update as soon as I get confirmation whether game is on or not, if we get the rain anticipated highly likely pitch will be waterlogged :( I should know by 12 Saturday lunch at latest. Alternatively, all things Hamlet are here http://www.pitchero.com/clubs/dulwichhamlet/

Hope I'm not getting carried away, but, is the ground up to Conference standards?


It needs to be Grade B: for clubs at level 6 (Conference North/South divisions)


I can see a few problems in the attached (http://www.thepyramid.info/misc/ground.htm).


The number of entrances needs to be 6 - we don't havbe that do we, and the toilet rules seem problematic.


Anybody in the know?

It was an amazing ground wasn't it.

Back in the 70s/early 80s I followed my home town team Wycombe and came to Champion Hill quite a few times.

I have very fond memories of Wycombe winning the league with a victory at Dulwich, followed by a fly past by Concorde.


Would now consider myself a Dulwich fan though and would love to see another promotion to Conference.


How bad is this jeopardy?

According to the rumours/discussion on Urban75 we're in deep trouble: http://www.urban75.net/forums/threads/dulwich-hamlet-fc-2013-2014-season-chat-rumours-reports.310974/page-62

Debts of ?80-100k, gas supply cut off earlier this week due to non payment of bills (but now reconnected), etc.

Also remember back in the day that they had some of the best floodlights in London. Vaguely seem to recall that a profession club in London wanted to buy them, going the whole hog, dismantling ,transporting etc etc.

With much conjecture regarding the future the Football Committee would like to invite all interested parties to a meeting on 22nd February.


In recent days there has been much comment regarding both the club's financial position and the future of the stadium.


The meeting will take place following the home game against East Thurrock Utd and bring everybody up to date with the current information available about the club's position and proposals to secure its long term future.

    • 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.
