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.

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? :))

A sadly ignorant bunch of so-called Dulwich Hamlet supporters. I suspect many of whom are also 'plastic' Johnny-come-lately, Arsenal and Chelsea TV supporters who know nothing about football - except they think it began with the Premier League and Sky TV!

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 wasn't actually there either Otta, a friend texted me the results with the comment "cracking game". I didn't know it had been so exciting and am gutted I didn't go also.

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.
