Attendances....

Doesn't surprise me. Some people need to learn the difference between a luxury and a necessity. When I first began following the Hamlet forty seasons ago the only loos on the terraces were a wall with a gutter and a drain, and the only women's facilities were in the bowels of the main stand, but this is 2017. If we want women and young children to have a comfortable matchday experience this sort of issue is probably going to put some people off coming back.

Out of curiosity, I took a look to see how much Portaloos cost. They're surprisingly cheap - you can pick them up for £150 (or the cost of 14 people coming to the ground).

I think people tend to hire rather than buy and then be responsible for emptying them and so on.

Surprised more pissing on the terraces hasn't been observed, in the circumstances.

Maybe people could piss on the weeds, kill two birds with one stone and save Meadow a fortune.

Have you seen the height of them behind that round thing at the Greendale end where I go for one.

Says the master of just going for a piss.

Did it once in the old ground and fell into the stinging nettles behind the terraces (without crash barriers) at the DKH end.
 
I do, but that's how I interpreted your comments. you can agree with them, or not. But that IS how I interpreted your comments.

I was surprised how cheap they were. £25 for a week including someone coming around and emptying them and also bog roll.
 
Direct comparison is complicated - more to it than a simple ‘numbers game’.

The last official Non League Day at Champion Hill was in 2014 when we had 2856 against Hampton & Richmond Borough.

We had 2805 against Billericay towards the end of last season on an international weekend. We also had 2217 against Bognor Regis in October last year but that was on the same day as the England game which may have impacted on the crowd to some degree.

We lost both of the games last year and drew the one against H&RB - so very nice to win in front of a bumper crowd this time.

Our overall league average so far this season is 1580 and our Saturday/Bank Holiday average is 1764.

David Ross is late of this parish and a Killie fan. I’m assuming he was provoking some fellow Scots with his tweet above. He’s written a number of books on sport and has a ridiculous knowledge of football in general and attendances in particular.

I met up with him when we played Whitehawk in the FA Cup in 2015 when he lived in Brighton - and the year before that at Peacehaven & Telscombe. He’s now in Cornwall so the chance of seeing him at a future Hamlet away game is a bit slim.
 
Sounds like a really interesting bloke to meet. Haven't got time to check right now, but are any of his books specifically football related?

Almost all of them are. He’s got a website somewhere. I’ll try and dig out a link.

Ah. Here you go, via Amazon:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/David-Ross/e/B0034NHQ48/ref=ntt_dp_epwbk_0

The extended biog on that site is out of date btw. He lived in Brighton and has now moved to Cornwall since he was living in Barcelona. He used to live in East Dulwich some while ago (in the 90s) and certainly went to Champion Hill quite a few times. I knew him then through the local Labour Party.

The Alan Turvey Trophy, formerly the Isthmian League Cup and known now as the Velocity Sports Trophy for sponsorship reasons
The competition has previously also been known as the Robert Dyas Cup and the Ryman League Cup.

Dulwich Hamlet V Green Borough 31st October 2017 attendance 444 *probably highest Champion Hill attendance for the Alan Turvey Cup ? now

While, I cannot find any attendances records
Maidstone United had an attendance of 1,797 for the 2013-14 League Cup final with Sudbury (3-0) on 8th April 2014 (which I doubt has ever been beaten)

Highest so far in 2017-18 is 518 at Billericay Town (26 Sept)
