From what I could see walking by later, the "damage" seemed to consist of five easily removable stickers, so I suspect she'll end up quite embarrassed if any journalists bother to try and document the supposed "vandalism".

Unfortunately that was fairly predictable with a London team and a Kent team coming down from the Southern Premier Division. I had a look at where the various new opponents play after we secured our promotion.It's a shame Worthing got moved.
it may have helped that the sun was shining but Sudbury looked a lovely little town that day. I didn’t get to stay long though, hopefully get to put that right next season.Sudbury is a decent ground with a 3G pitch about a mile and a half from Sudbury station. Our men's team visited on the opening day of the 2016/17 season.
I believe all at once. Which will be nice.Do the fixtures get released all at once in this league or is it still just in dribs and drabs?
It's Brentford who were using Bedfont Sports, although that may change now they have the old Staines Town ground as a dedicated "outground". They missed out on promotion again in the same division as Hamlet reserves.Norwich definitely played one match late last season at Carrow Road. I think it was versus Ashford, I remember seeing media reports of a 6k gate.
Edited to add I think.QPR use Bedfont Sports forr some of their home matches.
I think they played twice at Carrow Road last season. Both games well in the thousands. (I think 8k for the last game of the season)Norwich played Ashford at The Nest, attendance 340. They may well play one or two games a season at Carrow Road

But The Nest is a lovely facility, very modern but in the middle of nowhere. Nothing nearby and the public transport around that area isn't great either. Hoping for a Carrow Road away day though.
It looks like none of their games last year had more than 70 fans in attendance? Chesham United | The FA Women's National LeagueGiven Chesham have Alex Horne on the board and have done lots of comedian crossovers such as a regular fundraising event with a number of Taskmaster names, could Dulwich try and angle for something between Chesham and Hamlet comedy club when they come to town? I know there's been a few Taskmaster names who've performed in our clubhouse before
Yes, that's correct. The piecemeal issuing of fixtures was one of several aspects of the London & SE League our club was distinctly unimpressed with, another being the "joker" that allows each club to request one postponement per season for their own convenience. The first season this happened we barely played a home game in the first 3 months of the season, when the pitch is generally at its best, because our first 3 or 4 scheduled opponents all requested postponements of our home fixtures. I forgot to ask whether we're likely to move our reserves to the FA League Reserve Division.I believe all at once. Which will be nice.
I know that the song goes: no-one knows us, we don't care, but surely everyone is familiar with DHFC?I've just had another look. They had nearly 5,000 at Carrow Road against Cambridge United and nearly 6,000 against QPR, so it looks like they only use it for games against teams everyone is familiar with. I mentioned them using the training ground to Ben after we were promoted, and he said he would push for our game to be played at Carrow Road.
You might recall that QPR were promoted ahead of us at the end of the pandemic when the FA assessed candidates on various criteria, despite having an inferior playing record over the assessment period. I'm told one of the criteria on which they were preferred was a pledge to play their home games at Loftus Road, yet 3 years later they apparently have not played a single game there. Instead they play at a training ground next to Heathrow Airport.
Decent artificial pitch but a very basic sports centre setup. Sport London e Benfica play there and made my debut for Clapton CFC on that pitch. Bit of a trek from the nearest tube but buses run along the main road outside the centre. Probably BYOB for those that need refreshments.Actonians use the Middlesex County FA ground at Northolt, which I've never visited.
Probably find these games might have been played on international break weekends. That’s what happened when Brentford played LSEWFL games at the GTech - took on Ashmount Leigh. Nice bunch but not the biggest draw.I've just had another look.

I'd initially made the assumption that we might not wish to move both teams simultaneously, given the much greater travelling in the FA reserves division compared to this one, but Ben's negative comments about this league made me think we might jump at the opportunity to make a complete break as a club. I think someone suggested a while back that the FA's preference is to have both teams in their league, but Actonians already had a team in both leagues as a precedent.I doubt it as the league allocations for Division One South have already been released.View attachment 427816
