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.

      Interested to know dog owners opinion

      By Bernadette 12 · Posted

      Hello,  I am interested to know people's opinion regarding dogs left tied up outside shops.  As I am hoping most dog owners are aware of how high risk it is now for dog theft.  People's houses are targeted for dog theft, even waiting to have a dog out in their back gardens, even for few minutes, to steal.  This is a very common occurrence now, as is breaking into properties to steal dogs.  The reasons behind dog theft varies, from using to breed, sell on, to use to sit whilst asking for money, (obviously not all people asking for money are dog thieves & may well own their own dog) and for dog bait for fighting.  This is not me being a drama queen, it is there for anyone to research regarding dog theft.  So would you leave your dog tied up outside a shop?

      Gyms in dulwich

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      I don't know if any of the cricket or tennis clubs also have little gyms. There are also pilates studios on Melbourne Grove, Blackwater St, North Cross Rd and even the community hall of the church on Calton Ave. The David Lloyd gym in Orpington is very luxurious and expensive.

      The Mansion Tax

      By James Barber · Posted

      HI CPR Dave, I have to agree with Dogkennelhillbilly. We still have net migration into the country as per the Office of National Statistics- https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/populationandmigration/internationalmigration It may go negative in a year or two if pundits specialising in this are correct, but it isn't yet. Hi Dogkennelhillbilly, I don't think your maths is correct. Southwark Council states total empty homes at 8,588 -https://southwarknews.co.uk/news/housing/southwark-has-over-8500-empty-homes/ the total number of homes is 135k. Which means 6.36% are empty. However, while canvassing came across an empty home which does not appear to have been appreciated by Southwark Council who are now investigating whether the empty Home Council Tax Premium should have been applied for the last 10+ years. It seems likely the 8,588 is under reporting the number of empty homes.  Infill sites are defined by most public bodies was non strategic sites from a development perspective. The railway yard and other sites are in the Southwark strategic plans and thus would not be infill sites.  Tall buildings planted into lower surrounding suburban areas is a subjective matter whether they are viewed as out of character for the area. It is factually true that I think they are out of character. Equally you have no qualms about such tall buildings being planted into the SE22 area.
