Non-League football at least as far as Dulwich is concerned ain't just old gits taking their dog for a walk anymore. All age groups particularly 20-30's.
Lots of youngsters wearing the Dulwich shirt around SE London these days and the amount of women who attend games is off the scale.
The time's are a changing....

You do realise most are old on here 40+ and crowds should be Young like it used to be, youngsters in the terrace old men in the seats . all the foreign clubs have young noisy support , we have aging men who should be at non league or rugby by now . you are just all too old now and will always look back on the good old days with rose tinted specs , mainly when you were young.

I watched Dulwich Hamlet beat Braintree Town 6-0 yesterday in front of a crowd of 2,730 people. 15 years ago it would have been 350.
Non-League - it's the future
Once the mega rich clubs get their European superleague it will get even more popular...

Only time I ever get pissed off with West Ham losing now is if it’s a cup game. The move absolutely killed it for me, although I do still love the away days.
I like non-league though and it’s no surprise to see more and more folk turn to it with the professional game becoming more and more of a circus each season.

If this continues with them being the owners. I’d love to see a splinter team set up so we can start all again.

I actually prefer to watch my kids under 10s team rather than our shite. Never going to change under these owners.
Is this all just a bad dream. No competition for places with the squad we have. It’s unbalanced and full of mediocre players.said before Noble wouldn’t be playing as much as he is with a decent squad. If that were the case then we would be singing his praises for his cameo performances.
I think Diop will be fine and that’s why he isn’t being picked in case he gets injured. The team picks itself bar one or two positions because our squad is so bare. I also think they massively banking on Fabianski coming back to stop the goals. That’s the cheap option and just surviving is ok with them

Re: WHU v Non league

ive been going Dag and Red a few times a season, as others said , good fun, get there at 5 to 3, and you are a couple of feet from the players, like the old chicken run ...
Also satisfying when a good player goes to a bigger club, like Oliver Hawkins (Portsmouth) , or Jodi Jones (Coventry)

I'll be honest Dan... after nigh on 40 years of following us home and away... and putting the club before my family for the majority of that time I thought giving up my ST would be the hardest thing in the world... it wasn't.... it was time...

As I said, good for you mate. I personally couldn't hand my West Ham card in as it means too much to me, but you must be happy with your choice as you wouldn't mention it so often on a West Ham forum otherwise.
I've got mates I sit with that are thinking of jacking it in next season. It's not a competition who's more invested and there are no winners here. It's just desperately sad that it's come to this for so many people.

I'll be honest I have more a emotional investment sorting out our vets footy mob... getting 16 ageing bodies... who give their absolute everything out on a Sunday morning ... for me that along with the non league stuff is the escence of football... not Arthur Musakua on £50k a week doing dragbacks all game long... like I said they will never ruin my weekend again

Re: WHU v Non league

It's chalk and cheese though innit? Non-league might be a grand day out, but for me there's a difference between "West Ham" and "football". West Ham is all about the emotional attachment, the personal investment, it feeling like life and death while it's happening and still feeling elated/depressed two days later. That's the thing I'm into. Football is the rest where I don't care who wins or loses. The two don't compete, not because one is better, but because they are different things. Plenty of things are fun to do, of which neutral football could well be one, but they are nothing like supporting your team. Might as well say WHU vs ten pin bowling with my kids, or WHU vs tomato soup.

A Billericay Town regular for over forty years (so before Glenn Tamplin and his fun and games !!!!).
Just dont enjoy going to WHU anymore. Offered a ticket for today's game but turned it down for the Billericay v Chelmsford local derby.
