Gone are the days of spontaneously deciding at 2:30pm to go and watch The Hamlet play.


I so miss seeing the community spirit in the walk to Champion Hill with all the pubs and restaurants on LL filled with people wearing pink and blue scarves and shirts.

It's a real shame as now the train routes seems to have changed to get to DHFC's temporary ground near Mitcham Junction adding to journey time.


An uber costs well over ?20 from ED and buses are not an option.

It's getting harder and harder to support our 'local' team and I'd rather be spending that money and seeing it go directly to the club rather than a cab or TFL.


I know it sounds like a broken record but- The sooner that this mess is resolved and we see Hamlet moving back home to Champion Hill the better!

Sadly it still looks grim.

How about taking the train from East Dulwich Station to Streatham (9 minutes) and then getting a 118 bus from Streatham High Road(opposite the ice rink),which stops pretty much outside the ground (approx.30 mins.)


Why aren't there any directions on the club website? very strange..............

If you put your own postcode and the ground's postcode into Google Maps and opt for the public transport option, you can see which is the quickest travel option at the time you have to leave (or arrive).


It will probably vary depending on the time of day.


Same with coming back.

Yes I know how to get there and have been down to Imperial Fields a few times - but when I checked my train times app on Saturday the East Dulwich to Tulse Hill then change for Mitcham Junction showed there were no train routes for some reason.

It was telling me to go via Forest Hill to East Croydon then tram- A 1 hour and 24 minute total journey door to door instead of 30 minute journey (or my usual 9 minute walk to Champion Hill back in the good old days)

I wouldn't have thought a proper licensed taxi would exactly break the bank particularly if you got together with other supporters on a regular basis and split the fare. I believe they can accommodate at least five passengers (six in some cases). They also have access to the bus lanes so the journey time is likely to be significantly less than private hire. Maybe you could negotiate with a local cabbie or download one of the black cab apps. The American e-hailing app you refer to isn't the only game in town (much as they'd like to be) and your hard-earned money won't be filling the coffers of an exploitative company domiciled, for UK tax avoidance purposes, in the Netherlands.

Yes I know how to use all those apps.

I know how to get to Imperial Fields.

I know how to book various types of cabs.

I'm just pointing out that it's a shame that our local club is not exactly local at the moment and that it does add a bit of extra cost to watch them play.


Did the- 22 minutes train East Dulwich>Tulse Hill>Mitcham Junction- actually work last Saturday?


It would be nice if the club could perhaps provide updated travel information on a weekly basis to ensure fans turn out in numbers at our temporary 'home' games.


I know that a dedicated shuttle bus (or buses) departing every game from Champion Hill to Mitcham would deem to be not cost effective but it would be a nice two fingers to Meadow Residential showing that we will not give up on 125+ years of football history.

This idea has occurred to me also, although I have no idea if it could be viable unfortunately.

How much would people be prepared to pay for a return do you think?

    • No, he was utterly un-electable. Any sensible, non-Momentum, Labour member knew this. Corbyn likes to blame the press but that is the far-left modus operandi - find someone else to blame when the problem lies at your doorstep. I know someone who was on his team and they convinced themselves that they had won on the basis of social media. He was a disaster for the party and only Covid and the incompetence of the Tories allowed Labour to recover. Corbyn was on Newsnight last night clearly putting himself back on the circuit in the hope of a Starmer downfall.  This is why Labour HQ does not want McAsh leading the council - they are trying to purge the party of the far-left due to the damage they have done to it and I believe any swing to a more far-left leadership in Labour HQ would be an unmitigated disaster and just be rolling out the red-carpet for Farage. But the far-left won't care they see another opportunity to take over after they fumbled the ball massively in 2019.
    • Unfortunately I can't get near him as he's quite scared and my cat doesn't like him.  I will see if he is more friendly if he's around when my cat isn't in the garden ,I was just hoping someone might know if he has an owner or where he's come from .
    • 100%. Many of the problems that Labour have (after 1 year in office) are down to that 14 year legacy. They have very little room for manoeuvre. UK debt is around £2.925 trillion and the costs of borrowing are rising. The government is at the mercy of the bond markets. Meanwhile many services are on their knees and people are demanding investment.
    • Heya - not sure where to ask this, but I have an appointment on Bellenden Road tomorrow and in order not to miss too much time at work, I was going to work from a cafe nearby. Is there anywhere that would allow this for like an hour? I'd just be tapping away on a laptop and buying a coffee etc.
