Well there's only four more home games this season!
I'd be surprised if they dropped under 1000 tbh.

Who knows? They could vanish as soon as they came. Let's not get complacent. The main thing is that the atmosphere remains as it has been over past few years.
But, looking at that Met Police match - a fixture competing against Millwall, Chelsea & Palace at home at the same time, and with no away fans (albeit boosted by the LGBT freebies) - chuck in warmer weather and quite frankly, anything could happen at the gate. Nothing surprises me anymore.
What's the old CH record for a DHFC match.....?

seems Dulwich need not fear losing support any more !Who knows? They could vanish as soon as they came. Let's not get complacent. The main thing is that the atmosphere remains as it has been over past few years.

I think it must piss off some of the Maidstone fans that we're sat right at the top
Not really. They know they would be sat right at the top if they had a ground with a larger capacity than ours...

DULWICH HAMLET ATTENDANCES AND IMPACT OF TELEVISION
In the 1930's, crowds averaged around 7,000 to 8,000 at Champion Hill, now they average less than half of that.
Tom Brooker attributes the decline in attendance and this seasons's fickleness in particular to the impact of television

Note: Tom Brooker was an ex player and member of the selection committee

I purchased of Sport Express
it seems to be a weekly A4 magazine - covers all sports including rugby and athletics but mainly football
Doesn't seem to be part of the Express newspaper group
its head office was 70-74 London Road, SE1 ?
cost 6d
This issue was 427 and has a full page article on Dulwich Hamlet which I will post up

Av. attendance of 1,112 places #DHFC as 26th best-suppported non-league team in England. Ahead of 7 NL (conf) teams.
many of those teams above are ex League teams (approx 17) and also take more fans away (which bumps up Conf league teams)
So Dulwich Hamlet effectively top 10 supported non-league teams (who were not ex League)

not DHFC related, I know, but I was looking at winners of the UEFA cup winners cup last night and found something quite strange:
4,750 people at a major european cup final!
(It does also say that some people think that attendance was really 9,000, which is still rather low!)

The (most) Jena supporters were not allowed to go there, for the supporters from Georgia it was probably a long journey in 1981 and Düsseldorfs average was 18.398 in that season. Furthermore most people in FRG weren't interested in other teams/matches in that time - the groundhopping and eventhopping things started ten or twenty years later, I think.

Thanks Jan! I suspected that it the travel element would have been a factor, and the iron curtain too. It just stood out to me in the list of finals. Very interesting.
I also remember seeing footage of the 2nd leg of the ipswich v az uefa cup final in amsterdam - loads of space in parts of the terraces.

Everything about that story sums up what's wrong with this country today. We've got an arrogant posh twat as Prime Minister, and people are more interested in his stupid public schoolboy initiation tests that whether he's actually running the country properly. Meanwhile the establishment press put the boot into Jeremy Corbyn for not singing the national anthem which is (a) a dismal dirge and (b) uninclusive to anyone who is an atheist and/or a republican, as well no doubt many others too. Maintaining a respectful silence while the anthem is played or sung by others is more than adequate.
I wonder what British Jews and Muslims think about their Prime Ministers porcine necrophilia tendencies?
