Whilst I agree there's no way it will be all ticket, it is supposed to be Charlton's first team turning up. This was part of the deal that took Chris Dickson to the Valley in 2007 - also Alan Pardew played for Dulwich before he turned professional, so hopefully will be inclined to bring a strong team. It is listed as a first team match on the Charlton website.

I hope you're right about Pardew bringing a decent team. Unfortunately I remember the Nottingham Forest friendly a few years back that had the first team listed in the programme (including Des Walker!) but bore no relation to the team of 17-year-old nyaffs that turned out. And that was part of a transfer deal too.

Watford pulled a similar trick when they signed someone, Omari Coleman I think.

Not that I want to put anyone off from attending, after all I should hope all on here are going to see how Dulwich are shaping up for the forthcoming season and the opposition is immaterial!

Watford were supposed to do the same and brought their youth team down after the omari deal, as far as I could tell, though I gather there was some bad blood between the teams at that point.


Yeah, turnstiles will be fine, seeing as tickets consist of those raffle ticket things off a roll, I don't think they're even set up for all-ticket.


Of course, Pardew used to play for the Hamlets, so maybe that's why he wants to honour the agreement in the right spirit.

    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
