Anyine else bothered by by the noise emanating from evening matches at Dulwich Hamlet Football Club? My kids were kept awake last night by the relentless drumming that accompanied last night's match (way past 9pm) even though we live half a mile away and had the windows shut. Must have been even worse for people living closer to the stadium. Is DHFC governed by any rules to curb noise, given that the stadium is in a residential area?
Hilarious suggestion that the drumming coinciding with last night's match came from anywhere but the stadium. Drumming carries! And children need to sleep. For the record, even my husband, a die-hard football fan and DHFC sympathiser, feels that drumming at evening matches is out of order. Disappointing but predictable attempt to shut down any discussion of a legitimate issue, at a time when it is proposed to enlarge the stadium.

I can assure you there were NO drums, I'm supervising steward at DHFC so know exactly what was going on, also game finished at 2140 so not well beyond 2100. As for residential, the local housing were built AFTER the stadium so any complaints aren't viable. Noise is allowed up until 2300 then we would clamp down but as the ground is empty by 2200 not an issue, morally nor legally.

You'll be pleased to know that there are no evening games until January, sleep well.

So... in other words you are guessing and dismissing the point of someone who was actually at the match who said there was no drumming.


And you wonder why no one will take you seriously.

Post of the Year!

So, in conclusion, the answer to the question in the first sentence of the OP's original comment is "No".


The answer to the question in the final sentence appears to be "No" also, at least with regards to non-drumming before 23:00.


Glad that's cleared up.

One Saturday afternoon last season I had a nasty hangover and found myself stood right next to a lad with a drum, who hit it with relish throughout. Now whilst I would have happily stabbed him that afternoon, there is no way that the noise would have carried half a mile and through closed windows.


Haven't seen a drum there since.

I think I just upset the Most Easily Offended person to ever step foot into East Dulwich.


Made all the more funnier by their own profile description: "Definitely NOT a "5 minute clueless c***"". If the clocks on both sites are correct, it actually took 13 minutes.

    • Is it just me, or are some of the cars around East Dulwich now roughly the size of a modest one-bed flat? Our lovely Victorian streets were designed for horses, carts and the occasional penny-farthing — not rolling apartment blocks on wheels. Earlier today someone tried to pass me while driving squarely down the middle of the road, seemingly too terrified to move over in case their wing mirror brushed a leaf. We ended up in a sort of slow-motion standoff that felt less “road sharing” and more “Wild West showdown”. I completely understand wanting a safe, comfy car — but when the vehicle is wider than the street and both drivers need a deep breathing exercise just to squeeze past each other, it might be time to ask whether the car fits the postcode. Maybe we need Victorian-era width limits reinstated… or complimentary tape measures issued with every CPZ permit? 😉
    • Sad to hear about Mike Dulwich Fox he was a local lad born and brought up in the area.  R.I.P Bob S  
    • Excellent news! I googled and came up with a thread from this forum about Jamie being forced out. I had posted the link, but when I read the thread I didn't think it was appropriate to post because  It was started by Dulwich Fox, who sadly died last year (R.I.P.), and contained comments by and to him which were not relevant to the actual closure.
