Living next to Hamlets FC

[marusia.side]

Hi, we are considering buying a house next to the stadium of Hamlets FC, on the opposite side from tribunes. Can somebody advise on the noise in the area because of football fields? None of us is a football player/spectacular, we cannot even understand the FC webpage. The agent is saying that we should only worry about the noise from Saturday afternoons. Is it true? Are games always scheduled around the same time? Should we only worry about screams from tribunes or players as well? Thank you in advance

I've been to a game or two, maybe a few hundred people on a saturday afternoon I'd say...there are probably more in Sainsbury's next door I'd guess, seems a fairly civilised affair

A road further on -- that is, on the side of Abbotswood nearer the stadium -- they're no worse than the noise off the telly with your spouse watching Match of the Day in the next room.

Love it.

Occasional Saturdays you hear some noise. But given they have gates of a few hundred, it's really not much.

And it's more than offset by having a rather handy gym on your doorstep.

It gets a bit wild when the Bognor Ultras turn up. But the biggest danger to local denizens is when the ball is hoofed out of the ground. It being the Ryman's South, this can happen regularly.

I didn't think they could actually kick it that far...!

Don't they occasionally use the club house for events such as late night parties?

I am a resident living on that estate for the past 3 years.

The matches happen mostly on a Saturday afternoon, plus occasional games on Tuesday/Thursday evenings.

No usually not a problem with noise, their average turnout is around 200.

Occasionally there are pre-season friendlies where the place is rammed but these are very few and far between.

Tribunes?

I'm sure Sulla had one or two of them tortured, but I'm sure it's not enough of a problem in modern Brittania to worry about.

Seriously though, I wouldn't give it a second thought, the car wash in the car park probably generates more noise than the Hamlet crowd.

Yes, particularly dangerous in the winter when its got ice on it.

I thought Dulwich Hamlet Football club rented out the club for social events i.e 18th and 21st birthdays etc.

Didn't the boy who got stabbed a few months ago on East Dulwich Grove/Dog Kennel Hill come from the party there??

cornea, you really are full of it.

I live on Abbotswood Road rather than Burrow Road, so can't comment on the lane running down the side of the football club... but "kids riding and burning stolen motorbikes will leave your 2am slumber in tatters too.". Pfffft. Come off it. You are making it up. There is a noticeable lack of burnt out bikes round here for that to be true.

Cornea would appear to be full of shit and lies

... or Cornea is trying to buy a property in the area and is trying to get rid of competition and drive the price down. Sneaky.
