I'd just like to say what a fantastic time I've had going to the last two Hamlets friendly games. The atmosphere was great and everyone was friendly. I'd not been before despite being a big football fan but will now definately be buying a season ticket and plan to get down there whenever they play. Not only was the football enjoyable but I had a great time having a laugh talking to people and meeting other people who live in Dulwich who I may not have met.

I'd urge anyone who hasn't been before to give it a go and get behind the team, great for community spirit!

I totally agree. We moved to East Dulwich 2 years ago and lived behind the football ground. I went to my first game within a month of moving here...and loved it!


Its a nice friendly atmosphere...theres never any aggro , hoolaganism or trouble. The crowds have banter and a laugh...we pile into the bar at half time and full time ...for footie results on Sky!

And great little kitchen downstairs with the ladies serving up tasty burgers, chips, hot dogs


The nicest thing is being able to take my little girl down there..and she happly runs around playing and watching the footie with me!!

Even Franster who normally hates football , enjoyed the day out down there.


Its great value for money...?6 entry


So come down and support your local team here!!

It's good to hear that people enjoyed it so much. Likewise I converted from watching higher level football after moving here in the late 90s - it's suprising how many people do so, once they 'discover' it and give it a try. There are certainly no glory hunters (!) just locals - or people who used to be locals - enjoying the football and a few beers.


Just to emphasise the point on prices - the club have cut admission by 25% this season (from ?8 to ?6) which I think brings it much more into line with what I would say is good value for the quality of football played. Over 60s and 12-16 year olds are just ?2 and accompanied children under 12 are free.


Season tickets are also cheap as chips. Details are on the link below (ignore the 'ticketing page on the website which has the old prices).

In case people don't know, the club were one of the great teams of amateur football's golden age from the 1920s to 1950s attracting five figure crowds to a massive ground where Sainsbury's now is - the history page from the club's website below may be of interest to those who would like to know more.

Hopefully with more local support they can have a brighter future too.

Yeah we all can see the Muck is trying to blame the Gooner for her misconduct......but Muck is Muck wherever it stands......


*runs onto pitch, volleys bog roll into air....chests it down....cruyff turns the last defender and scores!*


Eddie, the stands are going to be invaded by EDFers over the coming season....be sure to keep reminding us of the games and the great value they are for a family day/ evening out!


Oh and I can hand on heart say that the team ain't half bad either.

Not me mate...


And yes...roll on the next game. I might even take up knitting and knit myself a pink and blue scarf. How much is a season ticket?

LM you will probably find the cost of the wool more than the fiver it costs to buy one and you'll drop so many stitches anyway it'll look cr@p....lol


Jason...they've got a website with the matches on. I think the first one is the 24th 7.30 kick off. Weegee started a thread too with all this seasons homes games listed.

*plots to complete cheap Dulwich Hamlet scarf in depths of winter - preferably when snow/sleet/blizzards are forecast*

    • Might be worth pointing out it might be a good idea to be suspicious of anyone who comes near you that is wearing a mask. Covid is a thing of the past In the same area I have seen several young lads wearing masks on bikes, they slow down when going past anyone 'fiddling' with mobile phones. they move on if its an old model that is not worth stealing. There have been several incidents of movile phone thefts around Goose Green. YES  some people  are immune deficient  and perhaps still feel they need to wear a mask although I question how nessesary that is in the open air.
    • Should Estates agents also take some responsibility for this.  In our case it feels like they have been acting on behalf of the buyer not the seller even though we are paying then for their service.  Just to be clear I have reassured the buyer whose house we are buying off that we still pay them what we promised. When this is all over should I states which Estate agent is involved?? 
    • Thank you Sue.  I am not on the App but your post signalled me to the FAQs and I can contact Admin there.
    • Amazing how fast he was. He literally had something like a minute between stealing the card and using another cashpoint before it was blocked. The bank will return the money but willing to bet he will hit that same ATM with the same ruse again at some point.
