had the misfortune to go to sainsburys at 5.30pm this saurday, the car park was like whacky races..


the problem.. people hogging the car park to go see dulwhich hamlet, and all leaving at the same time


have some consideration and walk to the match.. you should be fairly local,,


and sainsburys.. think about stopping this ,, please

Sorry, didn't mean to come across as flippant with my "proof" remark, unfortunately DHFC cannot control where people choose to park, however I will flag it up-the time you have mentioned, 530pm, game finished at 450 however at about 520 fire alarms went off in club house and we had evacuate the building, good chance-as it was throwing it down-peeps said "Hometime" hence the mass exodus at that time.

I was in JS at 10 to 6 and, yes, quiet.

Well boomshake. If you drive to Sainsbury's on a match day and park, then you are part of the problem..


Sainsbury's discourage parking by DHFC fans and I am sure that there are signs to warn people.

However there will be a few that ignore the warnings .. but not enough to fill the massive Sainsbury's car park.


It always p***es me off that parking on Lordship Lane is so restricted with 800 ?? parking spaces up at Sainsbury's.


I sometimes wonder how much influence Sainsbury's have on those parking restrictions just down the road.


All very convenient for them and has a detrimental effect for local traders who lose out to Sainsbury's.


We should be proud of our local teams' success and give them out support.

I realise they may not be every ones first team. but they offer good value and where else can you see a game

of football for a tenner and also enjoy a few beers..


Sod Sainsbury's , they are open 7 days a week.

I was in Sainsbury's at around 5o'clock, just after kicking out time at DHFC, it was like Christmas Eve in there, packed solid, lots of DH scarves and caps, Sainsbury's don't do too badly out of the club on match days, I guess they turn a blind eye for this reason.

Happened to me once - over-revved the car in annoyance after 30 minutes in a queue and it made a hideous smell and almost broke the cat - but once out wasn't to bothered. No point in holding on to the annoyance of a queue :)



But Why does the pedestrian crossing go red as I exit.

I thought it was the other way round? Sainsbury's bought the site from Hamlet and built the current stadium.

My recollection is that Sainsbury's bought the site from King's College and, in order to sweeten the planning process and satisfy local objectors, they replaced the previous very old and run down DHFC stadium with what is there now and also provided St Francis Park.


I may be wrong.

There is already a 3 hr. max parking time limit as I understand it..

    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
