11 Reasons to follow Dulwich Hamlet FC


Recommended Posts

Hi all,


My piece about why I fell for Dulwich Hamlet FC was re-posted on Deserter this week:


http://deserter.co.uk/2014/07/11-reasons-to-follow-dulwich-hamlet-fc/


Since writing it, I've thought of a 12th reason which I should/would have included (perhaps it can come on as a sub): The history


The club was born in the Victorian era, featured such footballing greats as Tommy Jover, Bert Coleman and Edgar Kail (the last amateur to play for England) and its old stadium saw arrendances of up to 20,000 in its heyday.


There is more on it here: http://www.pitchero.com/clubs/dulwichhamlet/a/club-history-30677.html

    • I would not describe the area as very gentrified, esp not the bit that was built 30 years ago. It's human scale, low rise flats and terraces mixed on cul de sacs for the most part, but it's not knee deep in Gail's and, candle shops and luxury butchers. The cluster of new blocks of flats near the new Decathlon and Canada Water tube is shinier- but tbh that's just what modern blocks of flats look like these days. Everything gets promoted by estate agents as luxury. More housing is good, whatever the type - dumping supply on the market always helps. I am sure there will be adequate provision for pizza restaurants and entertainment in the new mixed use development. And don't forget everyone's favourite Dulwich Library also has a ~free~ film club for adults: https://www.southwark.gov.uk/libraries/adults/library-activities-for-adults
    • Odd comment about high end development at Surrey Quays - when the docks went most of the area became very gentrified, thirty plus years ago   There's the odd bit of old school working class left.   Go a mile the other way, and very old school, but I don't see anyone reminiscing about closed pubs off Trundleys Road and the like ,  the loss of New Cross Greyhound stadium or the Venue 
    • Oru space have a chatty Wednesday and offer free mediation classes also on Wednesday. Worth checking out for interaction and meeting new people.
    • I had nigel do some clearence not Olie. The work went way over the quoted price. if you want more detail please message me
