Very kind of you to correct me!
All 9 teams above us are ex Football League supporter/fan bases ;)

Surprised to see Woking below us in that table after some of their supporters got all Billy Big Bollocks over Hamlet supporters objecting to their excessive stewarding arrangements, claiming it's necessary because they're such a big club.
 
would love to finish in top 10 and biggest supported London Non-League team
we have a rescheduled gave against Havant & Waterlooville which may hit our average if on a week day
But if we keep pushing and the Club keeps up social media and community initiatives hopeful we could do it
To say were in top ten would be a great achievement
 
Jeffrey Monakana interview

"The Dulwich fanbase has also been an overwhelming positive for Monakana during his time at Champion Hill so far. “Win, lose or draw there’s always really high numbers at every game. Before Braintree, we hadn’t won at home since August, but every week there’s still 2,000 or 2,500. It’s crazy to see. I’ve never been in a situation like that!”

“At most teams that I’ve been at, once you start losing, people stop coming and the atmosphere around the ground is just daunting to play in. But here everything’s more relaxed, people are happy and they just want to support.”

So for the 1st time we break into the top 10 supported (average) Non League clubs. The 9 above us are all ex League sides!

I had a quick look at how that plays out against capacity of the grounds. I had to use Wikipedia, which means that the entry for Champion Hill is probably less than it actually is.

In other news...

Following our leap-day game yesterday our average league attendance for the season hit 2190. The 9th highest in non-league football - with only former football league clubs currently pulling in bigger crowds.

It is also the highest in London and precisely 2010 higher than our end of season average in 2009/10 (a rather pleasing if fleeting symmetry).

As many have said, there are a range of factors for the increase over the past decade, each have contributed and are important in there own way.

What I think is clear however, is that the struggle that saw the club leave Champion Hill and then return has rooted it deeper into the community. Supporting the team (or, yes, for some just turning up and paying to get in) has become an expression of people’s wish to be part of something that means something to their friends, family and neighbours. That is an increasingly rare thing - something to cherish and not take for granted.

DHFC will not survive without its own stadium, without remaining in East Dulwich and without operating within its means. Those would be, for me, the key objectives facing the club over the next couple of years.

Northern Premier
Note - South Shields V FCMU 3,274

Dulwich Hamlet's home attendance average 2,200 this season (to date)

VANARAMA NORTH

York City 2,705
Hereford 2,047
Chester 2,019
Darlington 1,480

NATIONAL
(teams we better)

Halifax 2,141
Bromley 2,020
Barrow 2,010
Aldershot 1,786
Sutton 1,722

We would be 8th highest in National (all teams above us are ex League or Phoenix teams)
So with York City in Vanarama North bettering us, 2,200 places us presently 9th best supported non-league team - with all teams with a better attendance being ex League/phoenix teams

2,200 was an incredible achievement - may cause difficulties - but hopefully a new stadium will resolve
but should never underestimate the tireless work done by so many at the Club to hit this target
