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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

    • So I've done a little more research into the current use of the word, I hadn't realised it had latterly been used to describe anti Muslim feelings. Still don't like the use of the word. These are horrible times and am fearful for the future.
    • Oh I didn't realised Starmer had used the word. I don't mean they are stirring up division between themselves (ie between Reform and Greens), I mean they are stoking division within communities, and stirring up racial prejudice and religious discrimination. That is sectarianism, in my view. 
    • Just to repeat the news I was given – it's not being converted into a pub. As far as I know, there's no intention of dumbing down their restaurant offering.  Although as others have pointed out, Camberwell has two pubs – The Camberwell Arms and now the Michelin-starred Kerfield Arms – with excellent food. The Palmerston used to be the only pub in ED that was of such quality, but sadly no longer IMHO. 
    • The country is in a real state.  What worries me about the Greens is encouraging migration and openly offering benefits to all with visas.  Where is the money for that coming from?  As if there is spare money, as if there is growth. Where I their holistic manifesto, ensuring funds are available and this is sustainable, and regulated? Incredibly dangerous and idealistic
