Anyone fancy going to see the mighty Dulwich Hamlet FC this Saturday, 19th Jan?

Dulwich are top of the table at the moment and are playing Maidstone United on Saturday, who are in 2nd place. DH have been fantastic recently and Saturday's game promises to be a cracker.

Game starts at 3pm. It's £9 for adults, £4 for concessions (kids, students, unemployed, over 60) and under 12s are free.

Ground is by the Sainsbury's on Champion Hill in East Dulwich:

Champion Hill Stadium​

Edgar Kail Way​

SE22 8BD​

37 bus from Brixton takes you to East Dulwich, which is a 5-10 min walk from the ground. Or you can get the overground train from West Norwood/Tulse Hill/London Bridge to East Dulwich station, which is a few minutes walk away. You can also walk from Denmark Hill station - about 10-15 mins.

If anyone fancies it, I suggest meeting in the club bar from 2pm onwards. There is usually a happy hour before game offering cheap pints. You can take your drink to your seat, but if it's too cold, you can always watch from the bar, which has a full view of the pitch!

I'm tempted although I've got a gig on that night so need to see if the logistics can be worked out.

Funnily enough, the last time I saw Dulwich it was against Maidstone.

Maidstone are a fantastically well-supported club - they regularly get well over 1000 fans for their home games, which is amazing for that level and more than some conference clubs. Dulwich's attendances have increased from around 300-350 a few years ago to 400-500 and they even got 642 in the local derby with Tooting & Mitcham recently. I expect a bumper crowd on Saturday!

That's what I like about the Hamlet. You are free to take a stroll and examine the fixtures and fittings, and admire the world class tea facilities.

Why can't you cut n paste on these boards?

Cos you are tagged by the board software as being "grumpy".

I'm wondering if there isn't a chance that the pitch may be frozen given the current weather outlook. Hope not! I love watching football in wintry conditions.

It's actually quite likely to snow on Friday evening, going by the weather forecast. I'm not sure whether Dulwich have covers (unlikely I would think) so I think the likelihood of it being postponed is fairly high...

But yeah...football in wintry conditions is great if you're wrapped up warm. And have a hipflask full of rum on your person

 

[Brixton Hatter]

And just to note - if the game is on - that East Dulwich station is closed on Saturday. Denmark Hill station is open though. But bus tends to be the easiest way to get there anyway.

there were lots of games frozen out last season - definitely no covers.

this would normally really appeal to me but im on the january wagon!

Oh come on, you're better than that.

I'm sorry.

 

[Onket]

Good. Now lets see if that fuckwit who liked your post has got the balls to unlike it and apologise too. I won't hold my breath, obviously.

 

[el-ahrairah]
