Anyine else bothered by by the noise emanating from evening matches at Dulwich Hamlet Football Club? My kids were kept awake last night by the relentless drumming that accompanied last night's match (way past 9pm) even though we live half a mile away and had the windows shut. Must have been even worse for people living closer to the stadium. Is DHFC governed by any rules to curb noise, given that the stadium is in a residential area?
Hilarious suggestion that the drumming coinciding with last night's match came from anywhere but the stadium. Drumming carries! And children need to sleep. For the record, even my husband, a die-hard football fan and DHFC sympathiser, feels that drumming at evening matches is out of order. Disappointing but predictable attempt to shut down any discussion of a legitimate issue, at a time when it is proposed to enlarge the stadium.

I can assure you there were NO drums, I'm supervising steward at DHFC so know exactly what was going on, also game finished at 2140 so not well beyond 2100. As for residential, the local housing were built AFTER the stadium so any complaints aren't viable. Noise is allowed up until 2300 then we would clamp down but as the ground is empty by 2200 not an issue, morally nor legally.

You'll be pleased to know that there are no evening games until January, sleep well.

So... in other words you are guessing and dismissing the point of someone who was actually at the match who said there was no drumming.


And you wonder why no one will take you seriously.

Post of the Year!

So, in conclusion, the answer to the question in the first sentence of the OP's original comment is "No".


The answer to the question in the final sentence appears to be "No" also, at least with regards to non-drumming before 23:00.


Glad that's cleared up.

One Saturday afternoon last season I had a nasty hangover and found myself stood right next to a lad with a drum, who hit it with relish throughout. Now whilst I would have happily stabbed him that afternoon, there is no way that the noise would have carried half a mile and through closed windows.


Haven't seen a drum there since.

I think I just upset the Most Easily Offended person to ever step foot into East Dulwich.


Made all the more funnier by their own profile description: "Definitely NOT a "5 minute clueless c***"". If the clocks on both sites are correct, it actually took 13 minutes.

    • I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.
    • Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.  
    • Yes thanks that's exactly the choices I get.  I will block and if somehow they find a way back I'll report.
