Indeed, a superb book. Just starting his latest, on football managers..includes two mentions of Dulwich Hamlet in the index..first thing I always look for, for some strange reason!

And to be fair to Millwall...they have a fair point on not liking the middle class nigels from selhurst!

Dulwich are in his scouting book as well, with reference to that game when scouts from half the country turned up to watch Michael Chambers. "Suddenly everyone's there. There's sixty-three scouts at a game, watching this one kid."
Thanks...I must get a copy.

It does to me. If your point is 3000 to attend a level 7 match then yes it's a magnificent achievement. However, those not there such as the poster on the Millwall forum has got it completely wrong. Maidstone probably outnumbered the home fans in pretty much away game they played last season but not at Dulwich Hamlet. If they were that great they could have travelled to Dulwich and buy them but they didn't and all credit to Hamlet fans along with as you say neutrals and ground hoppers for making up the majority of the attendance, not the other way round.
Football fans are the biggest bullshitters around when it comes to numbers, usually made afterwards when they are not in attendance.

What is, are you libeling me?

Even on here, when that whole Clapton v Celtic stuff kicked off there were people absolutely queuing up to imply that they knew the 'real' hooligan types. 'They've no idea what they're letting themselves in for' etc.
The appeal of all that stuff beyond those who are actually involved is an odd one really.

Closer in status to Dulwich than the SE25 mob these days and as several on the Millwall forum thread mentioned they'd probably get beat on the pitch by Dulwich these days. Still there's always Fisher for a local rival and competitive fixture from next year

I used to have one of those Wooly Willy things when I was a kid. http://www.sodahead.com/fun/do-you-remember-wooly-willy/question-3994519/
I didn't know there was a Magnetic Minnie one.
No...we don't.

I'm very interested in that one, when you've finished it! Did you read my short article about the series in The Moral Victory? If you've got questions about the series itself, feel free to send me a mail. Perhaps I've got some useful information in my notes, books and catalogues...
Luckily there's no set deadline set for its release (thankfully!) so it might be a while until it's published. I did read your article in the MV which was great. I believe there's a need for someone to write a book about the Dulwich cards which I may do if someone else doesn't do it first! If I have any questions about the series I'll let you know!
Anyone know if the Cherry Tree Pub opposite the train station is currently closed? Planning to meet people before the next game there and heard a rumour it had closed. Cheers.

Nice one - thank you

They've done a nice job with the place but the biggest improvement has to be the staff even if there seems to be a predominance of beards! (Don't mention the H-word). Oh and artisan style aprons as part of the uniform. Prices good though; £3.60 for Southpaw.
