Despite losing 2-1 it was Will Smith summertime vibes at the Hamlet today. 1324 attendance is not too shabby....

I concur. Some excellent football from both sides. Highlight for me was our excellent attack and first goal and then VCD's equaliser.

Went to this as it happens with my flat mate just because we were skint and were at a loose end. Turned out we really enjoyed it and would go again.

Hello not sure if it has been covered on here, checked back a few pages and could not find anything.

Thought I would ask fans on here rather than call the club.

Thinking about taking my daughter to a game, being a West Ham fan Upton park is not the place for a 5yr old.. not the place for a 45yr old but that's for another time.

So my question is are Children welcome, good place for them to stand/sit and not be subjected to a kinds of language that I have to explain later. I'm not looking for a kids club. Would like to support local team and if I can take kids along safely then all the better.

thanks in advance

I went there at the same age and loads of kids go there now. They are more than welcome. You'll love it and you'll never be bothered about going to Upton Park again when you can go to somewhere more friendly and affordable at Champion Hill. The football is pretty damned good too.

Allways lots of children there with a great family atmosphere!

My 5 year old daughter has been a few times and enjoyed it. There isn't a lot of swearing, and only one song I can think of there a swear word is obvious, but my kids don't seem to have picked up on it.

Quite a few people with kids stand on the far side opposite the main stand. There is a sheltered but there, and kids often run around and sometimes play their own mini football matches at the side of the pitch.

Perfect many thanks for help

[toffeese15]

Perfectly fine for kids. Atmosphere is really friendly and lots of people bring their kids along. What I would say though - from my experience of taking my 7 year-old daughter (now 8) - is that it's quite nice for them to have a friend to play with. 90 minutes is quite a long time for young kids to be standing around watching football.

It's sometimes a long time for adults

Otta - I know the song you mean. Don't want to sound a prude but - why? The rest of the songs are witty and lively, and need no subsequent explanation.

[Otta]

Perhaps an effort to sound genuine saaaf london? ;-)

That was a joke before anyone gets upset.

The song goes

His first name is Gavin, is Gavin, is Gavin

His second name is Rose, is Rose, is Rose

And we really like him, we like him, we like him

In fact we f******g love him, we love him, we love him.

Not the work of a lyrical genius to be fair, but it's a nice shout to the manager.

I have a personal favourite, but only because I share a last name with one of the players and my daughter thinks the song is for her.

Playoffs looking iffy.

That's great bluerevolution. I missed the one on 21st but look forward to your postings. Are you the owner of Dulwich Hamlet?

[Bluerevolution]

Next game is Monday 6th April 3pm KO

SoozieW, no just a cog in the machine !!!

[Otta]

Great to be back to winning ways.

[red devil]

Based on the cheers I could hear, and that horn, I'm guessing a 3 or 4 nil home win?...

[david_carnell]

Nope. 2-1. And DH were clinging on at the death despite having a one-man advantage. Good game though. Even a bit of handbags to get the crowd cheering.

[red devil]

Ah, schoolboy error, didn't factor in the end of game cheer. The half-cheer I heard must've been the handbags. They should try and set up a pre-season friendly with FC United, would be some atmosphere...#punkfootball

[Otta]

DH's second goal was really nicely made. And the first in open play for a while!

Not sure I can get to the Maidstone match, but defo going to the final match against Tonbridge Angels.

Just wish the bloke with the drum hadn't come and stood right next to us for the second half. You'd think the ear defenders my daughter was wearing would have given some clue that she#s not big on loud noise, but clearly not.
