HI Jim,


I have seen an ariel shot fo the ground, on FA Cup day I believe, but can't remember where it was for the life of me. It looked like the White Horse final though, a sea of flat caps.


Out of interest did you then come into Hoopers after the game? I was there for the rugby.

The old stadium was knocked down as part of the whole sainsburys malarkey. It was one of the venues of the 1948 olympics. I never got to see it but it was, from what the locals tell me, impressive if dilapidated.


This was the only photo I could find

The old stadium was impressive - the first time I saw it in the mid-80s it completley perplexed me I was thinking whose ground is that? can't be Millwall's, surely Palace is further away etc...it was a proper football ground....now it's the 'fresh fish' counter and lego shoe box

SO have the hamlets ever had any young starlets go on to make their fame and fortune from the game? I think I heard that Peter Crouch was loaned to Fished for a short while, but does anyone know any others. There was some chap sold to Charlton t'other day was there not?


I live next door to the Hamlets and really should go one day!

    • I must say I was excited to see Turkish restaurant making it's appearance on Lordship Lane again. After Hisar gone it was hard to find good, quality Turkish cuisine around.  I went to Love Dulwich with my family to try it. And we weren't disappointed! Amazing. Lovely portions, tasty and reasonable priced.  Will be back! 🙂
    • Just did a post it’s called What Mother Made - mother & kids boutique 
    • What Mother Made - which is a zero waste, London hand made sustainable clothes shop for Mothers & kids - think it’s a bit like JoJo
    • Woohoo !  Thanks, yes, I also thought maxxi would win it as the final matches looked like comfortable wins for Ireland, England and France, so any chance of winning would come down to the lottery of closest to the actual points difference. Thank goodness for maxxi and his leftfield predictions 🙃 I once enjoyed a Feb long weekend in Rome with work colleagues, a good time to go as there are less tourists around so minimal queuing to see all the sights. On the Saturday we found out that Roma were playing at home, so we took a bus to see if we could get in, and we could. Half-time refreshments were...mini pizzas !... overpriced and undercooked so felt right at home... 😁
