In non-league football cup replays have always been scheduled for the same week of the original tie. The Trophy has been like this for as long as I can remember (25 years or so), likewise the FA Vase. Don't forget that the FA Cup only changes to 10 day replays when the FL teams enter in round 1: all the preliminary and qualifying rounds have replays in the same week of the original tie.


The reason is to do with minimising disruption to the fixture list. Getting ties concluded asap means that future postponements are kept to a minimum.

It used to be the same in the FA Cup too when the old Football League teams became involved in the competition. It has only been since the 1990/91 season that FA Cup replays have been played "on the second Wednesday following the original match, or earlier if mutually agreed by the two Clubs" from the First Round Proper onwards. This is as a result of a change in police advice for the staging of such games. For the earlier stages of the FA Cup, replays have to be played "on or before the following Thursday" after the drawn match.


In the FA Trophy any drawn match throughout the competition "must be replayed on the following Thursday, unless the Clubs mutually agree to an earlier day". Clubs also have the option of settling a tie at the first time of asking: through extra time and penalties if required. Both clubs have to agree to this though, which obviously wasn't the case for the match last Saturday.

Won 5-0 against Merstham today, with a crowd of 1,564 - astonishing for this level, given that the opponents brought very few. Dulwich now have on paper a really good chance of making the playoffs, but need to take advantage of their several games in hand. This can be hard because fixtures pile up - e.g. Hamlet are now at home on 20th, 22nd and 25th. Let's all get behind them at those games!

Just turn up on the day and come in through the turnstiles.


Edited to say: see further info on post below (next page) re tickets in advance.

      DRJ Builders - Highly recommended!

      By GDG · Posted

      Wanted to come on and do a review for DRJ Builders as I know how hard it is to find good quality and reliable builders in the area! David O'Brien and DRJ Builders are more than that - they are an absolutely brilliant building firm who we can highly recommend. We used them to do a side return extension, loft extension and full house renovation in 2016. They did such a great job, we have just used them again to add on a new rear extension to the ground floor in 2025. David is great to work with from start to finish and has a fantastic team of tradespeople who always deliver a very high standard of work. Would highly recommend them. You can get David on 07960 938621.

      Post Office Lordship Lane is Broken

      By Earl Aelfheah · Posted

      They do have other lockers where you can drop off parcels, as well as some shops who will take them. If you use the Royal Mail app, or website, you can also arrange for collection of parcels from your house. The service is actually pretty good (and a lot easier than going to the post office). There are a lack of Royal Mail lockers though. Would be good to get some more - perhaps one on North Cross road? They don't need to be outside the Post Office necessarilly.

      Where to recycle shoes & trainers please?

      By womanofdulwich · Posted

      In a similar  vein, are there any charity shops actually taking donations at the moment? ( after the usual post  Christmas chucking out phase, noone would take my things last week, they had too much already).

      Well whatever parcels it includes would reduce the queue, even if not completely. But I can't see that it's an option at the Lordship Lane office anyway. The bus stop surely wouldn't be moved, it's in a very convenient location.
