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.

    • I just wanted to post for all my neighbours a recommendation of Niko, the wonderful plumber who works locally. Niko has done work for me over the years, including large and small jobs. He recently replaced four radiators in my house which have helped us really be warm for the first time! I recommend Niko so whole heartedly because (1) he is completely straight forward and will advise you not to do something / a cheaper solution, if that is what is best for you; and (2) he is one of the kindest and most honest people I have ever known. He goes the extra mile to sort out problems, particularly urgent ones.   
    • Scaremongering - there is very little vacant land in East Dulwich available as sites for building 9 storey buildings so this is rather hypothetical. It could even be said the occasional taller, modern building breaks up the monotony of Victorian terraced housing.
    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices.
