Attendances....

Yes, definitely not 3,256, which would have breached our official ground capacity. And we definitely didn't allow any extra spectators in against Maidstone after al 3,000 tickets had sold out!
well of course that would be wrong to do. We wouldnt do that!
 
Dulwich hamlet 20th in global non-league attendances

But most above are ex League teams with exception of 5

FC United 3368
Eastleigh 1909
Forest Green 1750
Woking 1624
Bromley 1396
Macclesfield spent 10 years in the league but their roots are definitely non-league.
 
The 3,000 was recorded final game of the season against Maidstone United

Non League day was recorded as 2,856 against Richmond & Hampton

FA Cup Amateur Final 1937 at West Ham's Boleyn Ground (now Upton Park)
Dulwich Hamlet (2) V Leyton (0)

attendance 33,000

Surely this is the largest crowd for a Dulwich hamlet game
 
Attendance first home game 2016/17 season was

843 V Enfield Town (on a Tuesday night

This compares to first home game 2015/16 season

877 V Canvey Island (On a Saturday)
 
Only one home Tuesday night game last season had a higher attendance that the first of the 2016/17 season (843)

Last season highest Tuesday night home fixture 869 V Merstham

Tuesday night fixtures at Champion Hill 2015/16

625 V Leatherhead
555 V H&R
726 V Met Police
869 V Merstham
617 V Leiston
584 V Wingate & Finchley
 
Average gate after 7 home league games:
2012/13: 363 - (5-1-1)
2013/14: 553 - (6-0-1)
2014/15: 967 - (5-2-0)
2015/16: 1084 - (4-2-1)
2016/17: 1104 - (2-1-4)

The figures in brackets refer to won-drawn-lost.

It's a reasonable comparison with last year given that it includes the same number of Tuesday games (2) and a 'pay what you like' day last season vs the TU etc day yesterday

Of course, if we keep losing at home...
 
This is very good, as the general trend seems to be that attendances go up as the season progresses. so we'll beat that average again. Looking at the season average numbers, it appears the crowds have actually been plateauing for a couple of seasons.
 
Yesterday proves if we build for a game we can get the crowd
I know those unions supporting the game did a lot to get people along (but still room for improvement)

Yesterday, V Bognor Regis 2,217 was a great opportunity to build for the rest of the season
despite the result think most people went away having seen what Dulwich Hamlet has to offer (if not on the pitch)

I think we will need to start winning to keep the trend going up, we certainly need at least another 2,000 plus attendance
maybe we should build this in ?
 
On Saturday 19th November we have our,now annual, 'Pay What You Like' game, thanks to our owners agreeing to the Football club Committee request to have another one.

Our two charity benificiaries that day will be our official 2016/17 charity partners, Football Beyond Borders, who will be sharing the profit from the day after all the usual match expenses have been covered, with our near neighbours, the Dog Kennel Hill Adventure Playground.

Yep, 1343 average for all home league games last season.

Grew a lot over the season didn't it? Given the recent jump since the beginning of the season, I assume we are attracting a lot of students, more than I'd previously realised. I thought most of the rise had been down to the influx of middle aged journalists living in Herne Hill.
 
Seem to be lots of new faces every home game
think we have people who come to every 3rd or 4th home game
lots of students but also young families
so a lot of churning (maybe a third)
which shows the potential base - and shows why when we have big games we can get over 2,000
all very positive , despite out detractors

Average attendance 2016-17
Dulwich Hamlet
Played 13 (Home)
Highest 2,217
Lowest 598
Average 1,158

Last Season 1,343 *we have in recent years picked up higher attendances towards the end of the season

Other London non-League clubs (with higher average ) attendances
Sutton Utd average 1,499 (highest 1,951)
Bromley average 1,217 (highest 2,036)
Dagenham & Red average 1,274 (highest 1,554)

Note
All Clubs with higher attendances are Football Conference (and thus playing ex League teams, with larger away fan support)
Dulwich Hamlet have had the highest non league attendance so far in London 2,217
 
We've also had some Saturday games moved to midweek, and thus will be lower.

not that I can be arsed to do it, but would be interesting to see our averages over the last few years separated by Saturdays/bank holidays & midweeks.
