Dulwich Hamlet FC

[Wullie]

For some odd reason the programes of Dulwich Hamlet have got to be the most common programmes of them all for such a tiny club. Their famous pink issue must have been seen by every collector. From pre war to the 60s it never seemed to change. I just find it so strange, that for a small non league club the programmes are so plentiful. Pre War normally sells for £15 . War time a fiver and 50s, 60s you can't give them away...

I know what you mean about Dulwich Hamlet programmes, I have a doxen or so of their pre-war issue, but I believe it is something of an understatement to refer to the as a "tiny club". In the Dulwich Hamlet handbook 1939/40 it mentions the following club records at their Champion Hill ground: largest gate for an Amateur Lge game 16,254 v Nunhead; largest gate for a Surrey Cup tie 11,695 v Sutton; largest gate for a mid-week league game 5,117 v Wimbledon and even the reserves had 3,442 for a match v Casuals reserves! Guess this goes someway towards explaining as to why there are still so many Dulwich Hamlet programmes in circulation.
