The only reason I like to have a pop at Miwaww is because I'm living in enemy territory as it were - most of the neighbourhood that aren't DH fans are probably Miwaww. But it feels a little forced these days - dockers blah blah, thugs and hoolies "'oo are ya?" etc.


When I first started following The Irons that disgraceful bunch of tossers in the Shed were the biggest rivals, for others it's Tottingham. The only real derby-type rivalry we could have would be if Hearn's lot step up a couple of leagues and gain 20K or so fans.


Feckin' Orient w@nkers.

Ventured up to Champion Hill to watch Dulwich Hamlet for the first time since moving to the area (used to follow a local non-league team in the 90s), and what a delight it was. Was quite fortunate as I thought I was going to the league game vs Maidstone - just as well the Trophy dealt a home draw!


On the pitch, nice flowing football - players running with the ball interspersed with short, crisp passing.

Off the pitch, a thoroughly friendly atmosphere, and probably the single largest community that Dulwich & its surrounds have to offer.


Will definitely be back. Been enjoying seeing the pink and blue scarves creeping into the area over the last few weeks now that autumn has hit, so have also joined those ranks too.

In winter 1990/1991 I went to Wembley to see England v Cameroon in their post World Cup tour - after 90 mins it was possibly the coldest I have ever been in my life. It was -2 or -3 and I just had a light coat.


Roger Milla said it was too cold to play (really he wanted lots more money) And most people had only gone to see him play.


I left a couple of mins before the end as I thought I was going to die of hypo something - I ran the length of Wembley Way to the tube to get the blood circulating again. Horrible.

Last time I went to an evening match was several years ago now. Miserable winter evening at The Valley watching an awful match between Charton and Bristol City. I couldn't feel my feet, and decided then that I would never go to another floodlit match.


I do miss the atmophere of going to regular matches, but what with being as blind as a bat, I really do get a better viewing experience in a warm pub with a pint.

      Damp cellar floor is it a problem

      By Pugwash · Posted

      Our cellar was damp constantly and we were told that there were many underground streams in Dulwich (which eventually end up in the river in Belair Park),  Agree it is connected  to the water table. We had all old plaster removed from walls and replastered,

      Recommendation: Spoiltdog aka Andy

      By bonzodog · Posted

      Andy did a good job for me doing up a flat - bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen for a very reasonable rate. He’s a top notch painter and decorator and can turn his hand to many other trades too. I’d highly recommend him - nothing was too much trouble.

      Love Dulwich Restaurant

      A ramp would not be suitable for Love Dulwich. Gradient would be too steep, also length of ramp would go into road. We considered a ramp in the house to get down 2 steps (internal) but an OT who measured said we would need a clear space of around 9 feet plus because of the height of steps.

      Silver Fern Landscapes - Recommendation

      By TAG · Posted

      Over the past few months, Jan from Silver Fern Landscapes has completed several projects for us.  (He was recommended by a neighbour.)  We have been very pleased with his work.  Some details are below: Built and replaced several trellis fence panels.  In one part it was very complicated due to a large vine that had grown into/around the trellis.  He was able to save the vine, having unpicked it from the old trellis and then securing it to the new.  The vine went into a bit of shock, but is now thriving. Repaired the top frame to our garden side-return door, replacing rotten wood, and repainting the new to match. Repaired the loose tiles in our front walkway Along the way, during his visits, Jan also gave advice on various topics, such as how to best care for: our recently re-planted lawn, a tree that lost a large branch, and the vine mentioned above.  His working style is straight forward...he shows up when he says he will, discusses what needs to be done, provides timely quotes, completes the work as agreed, and sends an invoice. No drama, no hassle.  We will definitely be calling on Jan again when future garden-related projects arise! silverfernlondon.co.uk/silver_fern_landscapes.html
