Excellent news for the club in difficult times:


"Dulwich Hamlet have announced that former England international Peter Crouch has joined their board as a director.


Crouch, 40, who played on loan at the Hamlet from Tottenham in 2000, ended his playing career with Burnley in 2019 after spells at a number of clubs including Southampton, Liverpool and Stoke.


He has since forged a successful career in the media."

It hasn't been laid out yet, but I suspect it involves an injection of cash, though of course DHFC are keen not to go back down the road of having a moneybags owner but are committed to an ownership model which gives a pivotal role to fans. I imagine Peter will be an excellent ambassador for the club as well as having very useful contacts within the game.

Very pleased to see him on board ? I'm a DHFC shareholder and season ticket holder, but by upbringing a Villa fan and enjoyed his time at Villa Park where I felt he hadn't been given a fair chance... he later went on to play for England, of course. Always comes across as an honest and intelligent critic of the game via his excellent 5 Live podcast:

Southwark News today on Crouch's involvement:

There will no doubt be much intrigue around Crouch. Dulwich Hamlet communications and media director Tom Cullen told the News: ?We had him as a player, but it?s a coup that we?ve managed to get him now considering how busy he is. We just can?t wait to see what he offers.

?A natural fit for him is obviously the football side of things, which is beneficial for both Ryan and Gavin to be able to have someone on the board who is a football person. Our football staff need support in that area and Peter can give that. A great amount of knowledge and support.

?We?re absolutely thrilled.?

Another club source told the News: ?He will be involved in every aspect of the running of DHFC, from advising transfer policy, helping out with the women?s team and even pouring pints at the bar! He will be heavily involved with both DHFC and DHFCW.?

    • OMFG is it possible for the council to do anything without a bunch of armchair experts moaning about it? The library refurb is great news, as it's lovely but completely shagged out - the toilets don't even work reliably. Other libraries in the area will be open longer house during the closure. July is a rubbish time to begin a refurb because it's just before the entire construction sector goes on summer holiday, and it would mean delaying the work another 8 months.

Worth contacting her with views on ammendments to the original license. I am fairly sure she won't grant any amendments, but just in case.....
    • Second time Aria has completed a plumbing job for me and both times he’s been polite. Communicative, kept to time and completed the job. He’s very helpful and tidy as well. First job was ball valve in water tank, not easy at all. He and his team were fantastic. This time kitchen tap cylinders replaced and tap tightened.  Much appreciated, Aria thank you.
    • Thought others may be interested to help a local community centre help others.    My bank account offers roundup and it’s been growing all year. As well as treating myself or putting it towards a train ticket to see my family I’ve made a donation to the Albrighton. They can use donations at any time but I hope my donation will go towards the Christmas hampers.    Can you support them so they can provide Christmas hampers?   https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/albrightoncommunityfridge?utm_id=1&utm_term=M22JKQb6W   A donation of £50 will pay for a hamper to feed a family over this Christmas period. A donation of £30 will pay for a hamper to feed someone living on their own over the Christmas period.
