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 am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance). 
    • Truly horrific. Being passive or fighting back is what many of us think about by violent theft. 
    • What ridiculous waste of money
