Forte_Baby Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 The match day experience is pretty bad at the Sportsdirect.com. Ground regulations are the same for everyone but most places do it better than us. Even MK Mongs allow people outside for a smoke at half-time. But if you want a decent match day experience, you might want to try non-league football. 2856 watched Dulwich Hamlet in the Isthmian League yesterday. You can have a pint (and a fag if you like) standing by the touchline. You can even take your own in. You can nip out to Sainsburys at half-time for a scotch egg and a bottle of pop, or a packet of fags and some lagers. And it's £10 to get in. (Everyone I saw paid the regular admission price, even though it was pay-what-you-want day.) Best chant of the day: we're the famous Dulwich Hamlet and we're off to Tuscany. Who did Dulwich play was it a promo or is that there current average? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Who did Dulwich play was it a promo or is that there current average? Averaging 700 at home for a step 7 team - which is excellent, that particular weekend was Non-League Day and they may have had something on to boost it.

24hoursfromtulsehill Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Who did Dulwich play was it a promo or is that there current average? They played Richmond, who brought about 100. The promo was pay what you want - most people I saw paid the normal admission price of £10. Kids free. Teens a fiver. Helped by nice weather and no games for Palace or Milwall, which are a couple or three train stops or a bus ride away. They got 800 for Tuesday night's game.

leeslover Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) The hair really stood up on the back of your neck when Richmond took the Dulwich end with their famous battle cry, "Rah Rah Rah, We're going to smash the Oink! " but theyhadn't reckoned with Dulwich pelting them with handfuls of Krugerands with sharpened edges.

HarryBosch Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Dulwich hold the record for having the largest percentage of supporters with the same name - Henry. FACT Manchester City are second with all their Bernard's followed by Oldham Athletic and their disproportionate amount of Pete's in third.

Seems a bit of an escalation from calling them posh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
