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.

    • £30-40 for M&S Christmas food for two seems very low! And only £60 for food and drink for 8-10 people?  We have had M&S food at Christmas in the past, and it came to a lot more than that. I suppose it depends exactly what you are buying. We left it late to book a Christmas Day meal out last year, so there weren't many options left.  The Cherry Tree menu looked very nice. That was our first mistake. We also overlooked the fact that it was a Young's pub, with all that implies about the food. That was our second mistake. We don't have shedloads of money. We  took the view that we deserved a nice meal  out after working bloody hard all year. So it was doubly disappointing to basically waste a lot of money which could have been very much better  spent elsewhere.
    • No sweetheart. It is a fantastic sermon which should be shared. It is a rights-based sermon which received a standing ovation - if you can be bothered to get to the end.
    • Welcome back. What have voting intentions got to do with this thread? And much as you may hate the present incarnation of so-called Labour, as do I,  I don't think it is true that they have "not done a single positive thing for working class people", is it? And how exactly are you defining "working class people", anyway? 
    • I can’t bear the media “is this racist comment racist” angle taken to reporting it. I feel like she’s a useful out rider for Farage to test how far they can take their rhetoric - it’s not the first time she’s said things that cross over the line. Overt racism is becoming far more commonplace and it’s deeply concerning.
