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.

    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
