Our draw for the next round of the FA Trophy is a very winnable away trip to Bury Town on 12th December: http://www.pitchero.com/clubs/dulwichhamlet/news/dulwich-hamlet-on-the-road-after-fa-trophy-draw-to-1533899.html

Quite a long trip from SE London though.

I just HAD to google this. Here's what I found. Not quite 20 - 30,000 but the article writes about numbers of 10,000 and 13,000 - which is not insignificant. Thanks Doc.

Dear DHST,


How much for the pink shirts? And do they come in a "small"?


Thank you.

It was September 1949 and the article suggests a crowd of 18,000 for the match at Dulwich Hamlet.

18,000, 20,000, or 30,000...I am trying to imagine how far those sort of numbers would stretch at CH! I'd have loved to have been at those games. The largest DH game I've attended has had figures of touching 3,000 (I think)and that felt massive to me. Thanks dc (and Doc).


Doc, 1949...were you around then? :))

Why do you say that, Chief? I am genuinely curious.

Yes this game had a bit of everything - bumpy pitch, strong winds, penalty save from Phil in the first half, Hamlet took the lead early in second half, terrible second penalty decision given against us leading to their equaliser, Carew sent off for protesting, then Assistant Manager sent off, then Manager Gav sent off a bit later and then a last minute winner!

I too am beginning to wish I'd gone, and despite all the drama theyre still at the top. Let's hope they can keep playing the way they have been.

    • I don't want to name a shop, but I have twice at this busy time of year had an issue, and yesterday was overcharged when buying a number of small things. If you are using a shop which doesn't give an itemised receipt, or doesn't give a receipt at all, just be aware that it might be a good idea to check that you are not paying over the odds (and if using cash, that you are given the right change for what you handed over). When staff are busy they might make mistakes.
    • As I had a moan on here about the truly abysmal Christmas meal we had at The Cherry Tree last year, I am redressing the balance by saying we had a really excellent Christmas meal at Franklins last night. Every course was absolutely delicious and  really well cooked. The staff were lovely despite being exhausted and run off their feet. In particular, my sea bass was a large portion and cooked to perfection, in stark contrast to the small dried up portion The Cherry Tree provided, from which I was barely able to scrape a teaspoonful of flesh (that is not an exaggeration). And our Franklins meal cost less than half what we paid at The Cherry Tree (to be fair, that was on Christmas Day so the Cherry Tree costs would have been higher, but that doesn't excuse the appalling quality meal). Thank you again to Franklins for restoring our faith in eating out at Christmas!
